“From Faceplants to Fails: You Won’t Believe How These 43 People Managed to Hurt Themselves in Outrageously Dumb Ways!”
EDIT::: Oh my! Thanks so much for the Gold Award! This has made my day :).
Tried to take painkillers for a bad headache at work, somehow managed to slice my finger on the foil from the tablet blister pack (like an overpowered paper cut), bled all over my desk and keyboard. Colleague helpfully said “at least you’ve already had painkillers”.
A dog fell off a 3rd floor balcony and landed on my head.
Knocked me onto the iron gate of our ground floor flat and I fracture my jaw.
I’m a wheelchair user and I once tried to show off in a club by getting up this pretty big step to dance on the raised area. Fell backwards and basically punched the floor when I landed, breaking my hand (though I didn’t realise until the next day)
About 2 minutes later my partner tried to do the exact same thing and got a nearly identical injury
Who could have predicted that taking a GIANT step (like 4x the size of a curb) with no run up, on a slippy dance floor with slippy wheels, and nothing to grab on to, could have POSSIBLY gone wrong…. not us, apparently.
I was playing cricket and at tea I was walking back from the clubhouse, fell over fresh air and trying to protect my pork pies & vital goodies I broke 2 fingers.
Three spring to mind.
The first – I was grabbing a can of polish from under the sink and when I pulled it out, I jerked my arm too viciously and smacked myself in the face. Gave myself a black eye and a headache.
