The stupidest way you have hurt yourself.

[implodingMan]

The more embarrassing the better. For top marks there should be scarring so you will always remember.

One day I was sitting around, throwing a balloon into the air and catching it to pass time. My insatiable desire to burn things appeared and I produced my lighter to engage in some relaxing pyromania. I held the lit lighter to the side of the balloon, and instead of the plastic melting it burnt. I was intrigued and for several seconds I watched the side of the balloon smolder. Then the balloon popped and molten plastic splattered onto my face.

I have a small scar beneath my nose and above my lip from the burn.

running into a fence. Not even headlong, it was a sideswipe. I was running around the bleachers at a T Ball game when I was, oh, 6 and I just nailed my head on the metal fence post. I went to tehhospital and recieved 2 staples in my head.

It was pretty dark outside.. I was about 15 years old at the time.. my friends and I were cutting through peoples yards, without any prejudice to where we were stepping. What can I say, we were fools? So foolish that I didn't see the 5-6 foot deep hole that I fell directly into, bruising myself up real good.

There's just something weird about the feeling that the ground SHOULD be there.. but it isn't.

I tried jumping from the top of a boathouse ONTO the roof of another one. I don't think I have to explain how that turned out

 

[giftuardo]

i jumped down a flight of stairs trying to tackle my mate and landed on the concrete on my elbow, shattering it completely.

I went sledding head long into a tree, and I hae a scar from melting a plastic bottle over a fire and dripping it on my arm

 

[Shadowtek]

oh god, where to begin... lets just say, i've had a lot of adventures. (and scars as reminders)

a recent one, i had a tree fall in a big storm. so to make it more manageable i cut it into pieces. as a lot of you might do, i preceded to make a small fire pit and planned to burn at least a portion of the tree. well,lets just say i grabbed the wrong container of accelerant and had a nice little explosion to deal with. literally, half of my body was without hair, this includes, a portion of my face and my arm, and jeez, talk about a burnt hair smell. lol

(More posts to follow.)

I was sitting in my beanbag chair, watching a movie, when I heard the phone ring. I got up and ran to catch it, but hit a door facing on my "ring finger" toe at full speed. My toe broke at a 90 degree angle, and I took the paint off the door. As I rolled on the floor in pain, I heard the answering machine click on and the caller say "I'll try you back later," then hang up.

Oh man I was coming in from the back yard at my friends how. This was the summer after sixth grade and we had been playin on the trampolean. Anyways the doort to the back yard was a wooden door with 9 little mini window panes to make up the larger window. As I was closing the door, it stuck a little on the door jam causing me to lean my weight against it so it would closer. Too bad I had my hand on one of the window panes which gave way causing a nice 3/4 of an inch deep gash in my wrist. I missed the main artery in my wrist by millimeters. So yeah I had a nice little could have killed myself experience with that one. Nice big scar as a reminder.

were to begin? when I was 2 I drove one of those plastic tricycles into a fence and cut straight through my cheek. when I was still 2 I fell down the stairs. when I was three I slipped on a banana peel and fell on a dog, had to get stitches. 3 again my sister threw me into a dresser, guess what more stitches! nothing really interesting till I was about 15. I was playing 4-square in JROTC and it is really fast paced and on concrete. so after a while I got to the king square and we just finished a round and someone threw the ball to me a bit too high and when I came back down I rolled my ankle. Not the ending you were expecting was it?

rainbows and gumdrop smiles?

We have some barrels for a dock we are going to build. Eventually. No, really! we are! Anyway, I jump on them (about 3 1/2 feet) onto the roof of my shed (I want to say 7 feet up)and then jump from that roof to my garage roof, a mere 4 foot jump.

injuries though, hmmm, I was jumping a fence bare foot (never a good idea) and when I landed I landed on my toe breaking it (and tearing my one of favourite shirts on the fence) I didn't think it was broken, just jammed and walked myself home.

R.I.P.

A goose bit me on the stomach as a kid. A freaking goose. Need I say more? The scar is still there plaguing me to this day. Oh? That scar. Have to watch them geese.

Also as a kid I slipped under a barbed wire fence while running and the wire barbed itself into the depths of my shirt. I was repeatedly shocked and couldn't get the wire off my back, all whilst my relatives present laughed at me. [On a side note, never piss on an electric fence.]

More recently, I had a gecko latch onto my finger during feeding time along with the worm. She thereafter presumed that my finger was part of the deal and attempted to eat it. The longer I waited, the more she attempted to cram it down her throat. The more I resisted, the harder she bit. You can see how this turned out in minor injury. I eventually picked up the hand, gecko and all, and retrieved a water bottle to squirt her eyes, where she reluctantly released.

Oh almost forgot one even better. When I was three I was chasing my sister down the hall. She's 5 years older and really didnt like it, so when we get down to her room she runs inside and for some reason I stick my fingers in the small space between the door and the door frame that is caused when the door is open, you know the little crack that lets the hinges swing. So she slams the door and breaks all of my fingers. yep thats the keeper for me.

I was riding my bike once across this field. For some reason someone had dug a 2 foot by 2 foot trench for about 10 feet in the middle of it. I didn't see this because of the high grass, until my bicycle tire went down into it at a perfect 90 degree angle. The tire immediately wedged, and since I was going about 15 miles per hour the whole rest of the bike pivoted on the stuck tire, going upside down over the trench, throwing the handlebars and my face into the ground on the other side. The front point of the bike seat also shoved its way down my one short pant leg, getting caught in my underwear.

No scars, but my neck and, um, pant leg hurt for a week. Thank goodness no one saw me, and this is the first time I've told anyone else. So keep my embarrassment a secret, Internets.

I gave myself carpal tunnel syndrome posting on this forum. My crippled fingers spawned one text wall too many.

I had a new bunkbed back when I was about five or six. It wasn't fully assembled yet, so it was missing the side rail. My mom told me to stop rolling around in excitement or else I would fall off. I didn't stop rolling around in excitement. It was five/six feet to the ground.

I have a two inch scar on the top of my head. My hair hides it, though. I also have vivid memories of a bloody t-shirt, which might explain my mild hemophobia.

 

[the protaginist]

hmm...where to begin.okay,heres one.me and a friend of mine had this idea once,that we were gonna ride are bikes down hill at our school,grab the push up bar,and let our bikes go,just rollin on their own.sounds good in theory,right?well,throw one other factor you hadn't expected in theory and your screwed.it's raining.i didn't know that metal was slippery when wet.i said to my friend,"i'm gonna go first,okay?"he says sure.and down i go.down the hill,grabbed the rail,i get thrown on to my bike,cut myself on the spokes, the pedals,everything.i wake up an hour or two later in my bed,with a headache bigger then everest.

 

[Broken Blade]

Actually, I just remembered one: my dad one time told me not to touch his soldering torch because it was hot. Guess what I did?
