Question

I actually have two, couldn't decide for one

-A good week ago I was cleaning the kitchen and forgot that the plate was still hot and I somehow managed to burn my whole under arm, it's still healing lol

-Wildfire-_ · Accepted Answer

When I was young I often didn't carefully think before I acted which resulted in a lot of stupid injuries. although the worst one was when I was 13 I was standing on top of a 7-8 ft high wooden fence and my friend through a rope swing at me. the plan was that I would jump on to the moving rope swing (I had done this athousand times) and everything would be good. What happened was, I somehow lost my balance on the fence and tripped and fell off. I knocked the entire wooden fence down and fell right on to the cement base of the wooden fence. My upper back landed on the sharp cement corner of the fence and I had to go to the hospital. The whole thing is just stupid because if I had hit the cement corner just a few inches up at my neck, I would have either died from a broken neck, or be paralyzed just because of one stupid mistake of not being careful enough.

I have 2 I can’t decide between.
1. I stepped out of the house to lock the front gate for the night before i went to bed. It was dark out, and I’d left a light on inside the house just at the front door. For no other reason than the fact that I could, I decided I sprint back inside the house at full speed, and in doing so managed to run face-first into the near invisible screen door I didn’t realise had shut, AT FULL SPEED. I had the worst nosebleed for hours after that it was wild, and my nose bruised for a week.

1. I was climbing a tree and decided to jump down off a branch and next to my friend below (who didn’t know I was in the tree) to scare him. The moment I jumped the branch cracked, and threw me off completely, and I ended up whacking my face on another branch before landing (disgracefully) beside my friend. Not fun

Cooked bacon without a shirt on. Those tiny fat splashes can burn.

Took a ride on the trunk (legit on it, not inside it) on a car, lost grip with my hands and fell off when he accelerated up to around 50km/h (30mph). Scraped up pretty much half my body lol.

Jumped off a roof from a house, sprained both my ankles.

ran down the stairs when going down the stars so I smashed my forehead. Knocked me unconscious for a few seconds. The entrance down to the basement is 185cm and I'm 187cm (6'1) so... WAPAOW.

Popped a wheelie on a moped that didn't have a break for the rear... Only myself to blame because I said "f**k it" and my bum turned red, blue, green and whatever color you can think of for a couple of days.

Could probably entertain anybody for a couple of hours with all the stupid ideas I've gotten and hurt myself hard.

I was living in a duplex. I did my own yard maintenance. A big mimosa tree had kudzu, a wild vine, growing in it and one big branch was weighed down to within a foot of the ground. I climbed up my trusty ladder and used my trusty chainsaw to cut that puppy loose. There was torque on the canopy and the 14" diameter branch smacked me square in the forehead, knocking me 15 feet flat on my back. I was uninjured at the time but that was the beginning of a series of serious surgeries and my now greatly limited mobility. Talk about stupid!!!

I did this reckless ridiculous thing when I was 14, I was riding bicycle downhill through a circular road around the hill and i was going superfast my friends were lagging behind and I was so focused to beat them that I somehow stopped looking at the front only watching my friends behind who is coming closer, and I did not realized there was a big piece of rock on the road, within a moment I hit this rock very hard that I was in the air upside down not knowing what the hell suddenly happened, I saw my bicycle flying high up in the air with me, and then I landed on my left shoulder a small piece of rock got pushed and buried inside my shoulder my t shirt teared up, I saw my bicycles tyres became oval in shape, I was little unconcious at that moment, everything happened so fast instantly I did not realized what is going on, I stood up fast somehow and made it look like as if I am not hurt very much behaving cool on myself, while my friends laughed on my bicycle condition, I had to hang the bicycle on my other shoulder and walk all the way to home, which was looking impossible to me, but sadly I told them that I was okay so I can't complain about the situation, it was really weird and reckless accident, it could have been even worse if I would fell off from the road directly to another road from the cliff. But thanks to God I got no bones broken, just that doctor had to dig out the stone inside my shoulder.

Izumiblu · Answer

I’ve seen that happen with nose strips to multiple people.

My right ankle is what the doctors call hyper mobile. Due to an injury years back. I can be walking along and it’ll just give out and I’ll fall down

About a month ago I was going into work and I was carrying my purse and some food and my messenger bag and I stepped on a small rock that tilted my foot just enough to cause my ankle to give out. Because I was carrying all this stuff I couldn’t get my hands free to break the fall well.

I fell right on my face. Bloodied my nose and had a big scrape from my lip right up my nose almost all the way to between my eyes. Scraped up my knee and ripped a chunk of skin off one of my knuckles.

I jump on the bed of my dad truck as he was leaving to go get groceries. He fussed at me and told me to get off. But, instead of waiting for him to stop (like he said) he was going 25 mph which didn't seem too fast right? Right. And I use to do it to the ups truck when I was a kid all the time with my friends. But I did not have sneakers on that day. I had sandals. I jumped off and knocked myself unconscious. I woke up 6 days later with a broken wrist, a missing tooth, and tubes in my arm at the hospital.

The frist thing my father said to me:

"You dummy"

good times.

While working I was making fries and the frying colander accidentally fell into the frying pan, and without thinking I stuck both my hands in there to get the colander out... Burned my arms pretty bad... I don't know how, but it didn't leave any scars even though the frying pan was at 180 degrees Celsius...

HungLikeAHorsefly · Answer

When I was a kid, I was walking along a line of railroad ties that my father had stacked end-to-end for about 40 feet or so. One of them had a long, rusty nail sticking out of it and I stepped on it. Impaled my foot, had to get a tetanus shot and couldn't walk on it for a while.

That's not the dumbest way I've been injured. The dumbest way was a few weeks later when I... did the exact same thing again, but with the other foot.

MadBoy · Answer

I was walking home from school, looking at a parked car and wondering why people were around it, and walked right into a sign. Like, right in the middle. I was in high school

I also once tried to slide down the stairs using a blanket as a "sled". I was just a kid might you, but that sure hurt when I fell all the way down.

Oh yeah! In 5th grade I smashed my head on a clipboard, both breaking it in half and knocking myself out, right in the middle of gym at school. When I came to, people were surrounding me, wondering if I was dead.

That's all I can remember, but I know I've done some really stupid crap to myself lol.

Gedaria · Answer

Cutting a piece of steel with a grinder fitted with a cutting disc. The disc is 9ins in diameter. I'm stood straddled across the steel. The disc jammed and broke into many pieces. I felt a hit on top of my legs and it didn't hurt. So I put a new disc on and finished the cut. I was starting to feel uncomfortable in the groin area. So I nipped to the toilet to have a look. One part of the disc had enbbed it into my penis. Another part had sliced my left testicle in half. The other testicle had a thin piece of disc in the side of it. My main surprise was there was no pain. So I told the g\f I had a problem I was going out for a while. Got to the hospital. I was rushed in to a treatment room. They had a look , x-rayed it. Scanned it and cut most of it off. Most o the scrotum , one testicle and stiched up my penis. The other testicle lost it's will to live about 6monthes later. So now I have a 4ins penis. I've seen bigger clits. But we still have sex...

I was running down a hill while catching butterflies as a child.
I was excited about having caught some rare ones, and somehow I forgot about physics and ended up rolling down like a boulder.
I ended up scraping pretty much every bit of skin that was exposed on me, and I couldn't walk properly for like a week after that.

Most recently was cuffing a person through a cell door. I didn’t secure his other hand like I supposed to. He jerked away and tried getting away. I held onto the cuff I had on his other wrist. Ended up with a SLAP tear, rotator cuff tear, and labrum tear in my shoulder.
Truly stupid on my part. I knew better than to cuff that way.
