I tried to open a walnut shell once with a knife. The knife slipped off the walnut and went straight through my hand. Didn't feel it thou since the knife was pretty sharp.

I had my ear pierced, by a cougar.

Other than that, was riding a bike off road over in Sicily over a cooled lava flow, chain broke off, flipped over, and the spokes from where the chain goes went into my ankle. Ended up having to pull it out, wrap it, and walk (ok, limp) back to camp, which was about 3 miles away.

Another time I dropped a crystal bowl, and a piece cut my leg. Have a 4" scar from that one.

Could go on, have had MANY stupid accidents Grin

Yes, I am accident prone...

All nice stories, I have a ton of them as I was pretty accident prone in my youth. Try getting hit in the mouth with 110v sometimes. It is an real eye opening experience trust me. I bit two pretty good sized cuts into my tongue.

Wow! That's the most Dave I've ever seen. Laughing

I have one for you.

I got into the whole R/C plane thing and spent over $1K on the crap. The engine I bought had a new thing (at the time) called a remote needle valve. Instead of having to adjust the carb mixture at the carb which is directly behind the prop, the valve was moved to the back with a piece of tubing going to the carb.

Anyway, I had it on the test stand to break it in and had it at about half-throttle. I had it facing me on the bench I had it mounted to, so I reached THROUGH the prop to adjust the remote valve at the back of the engine.

I ended up with my index and middle finger tips sliced to the bone.

I guess remote needle valves don't work for idiots...
