How did you manage that?
Knowing I am allergic to Lime, I tried to move about 10 bags of Sacrete..One ripped open..I spent the next 6 weeks in the hospital..

First time I was about 16 and using a table saw. Cut the board. Turned the saw off and then promptly just reached in between the blade and fence to pull the little piece out. Just absent minded and thought to myself " I tured it off" well I immediatly recoiled and thought "naw, no way" then blood started spraying like a horror movie. Grown men around the shop were screaming like children. I dont know why but aside from the obvious pain. I wasnt worred at all. I just thought- "Well I should go have it put back on. They can do it,...they are doctors"
I went straight to the ER and they sewed and pinned me back together and in 6 months it was good as new.
Second time was with a pocket knife. It wouldnt close, and like a fool I put same thumb on lock and then pressed against the steel table in the shop with my body weight. Clipped the sucker like a cigar cutter at the knuckle. Didnt take it all the way off, but certainly worthy of counting it as an amputation.
this was about 8 years ago. More stiches and an impromtu surgurey that I actually stayed awake and got to watch. I have a good scar across the top but otherwise full range of movement. Top is numb still to this day but otherwise its fine.
Now your wondering, but HERE is the dumb part..........I still use the knife..
[hr]
I went through the windshield of a car once and tore the skin around my forehead from ear to mid forehead and skin slipped down to the point I had to physically hold it in place. Wife thought I was dead, I just stood up and then asked what she was screaming for. Again....blood EVERYWHERE. She broke a hip in the acident and it was out in the country so I didnt want to sit and bleed to death. Other vehichle was all ok so we called 911 but time was ticking.
I drove us to the hospital on that one with a bloody broken out windshield and mangled front end of the car. Was going to get sited for leaving scene of the accident until they caught up to me in the ER where I was getting my CT scan and stitches. Car in the parking spot bloody and mangled. Concussion, cracked ribs, broken finger and glass stuck in all sorts of goofy spots.
Dumb Part- wife asked me not 15 minutes earlier if I liked listening to the beeping of the seatbelt alarm.

Not me-- But when my brother was 13 He stole my moms car along with my cousin (13 also) they went not even a mile up the road, hit the ditch, flipped two times, rolled across a fence into a buddies cow pasture.. Car was totalled.. we never have found his right shoe. Hahah
he went through the front winshield and cousin went through the Very back (hatchback) Which comes to the question.. How can you do that to a subaru outback wagon? Lol
Amazingly.. brother only broke his wrist, and cousin only got scratches from the glass
Have any of you seen these kind of cars? thats a long haul from the passenger seat to the very back window

Tobin, you've always been such a rock head!
Point one: He broke his arms because he was trying to out-do our cousin on a rope swing.
Point two: Don't ya know ya don't dive into the shallow end?
Point three: He has many more stupid things to tell if he should ever want to share... (Even some embarassing moments for me!!!)

One time my friends and I were out in the Detroit River. There were about 8 of us, we had one boat and two jet-skis. Well I was on the boat and two of my friends were behind the boat jumping the wake. It wasn't good enough for me so I decided I was going to get on one of the skis and show everyone up. So I got on one, and went about a hundred feet in front of the boat. I gunned the ski back at the boat, hit about 55 mph, and nailed the wake about 2 ft off the back end of the boat. It launched me about 15 feet in the air. When I came down I hit my knee on the running board, and my face hit the steering wheel. I was then launched about 30 feet from the ski, and I could only swim with one leg since my knee was no longer in operation. I finally reached the ski, blood pooring from my nose. I didn't do any damage, but this was by far the dumbest thing I have ever done. I probably increased my chances of dying that day 10 fold. Achohol did play a major role in the incident. Haven't touched a jet ski since that day, I was about 20.
