I was going to post in the bench grinder thread but thought we had better leave that and start a new one.
Spose I better start but I dont have anything major but just lots of mild-should of had stitches kind of stuff.
I was in the habit of quickly useing my leg to rest bits of wood 2x3 kind of size to plane (electric) and once sliped off and planed my thy, but luckly just caught the edge of the blades as it sliped off the wood. Thats on one leg.
On the other I got a pipe bending spring stuck inside the pipe i over bent and was pulling it out and extending the spring (resting on my leg) it sliped out my hand and the spring niped my leg, for such a silly stupid thing I have a very nice round scar. So I have a line on one leg and a circle on the other.

Pinching the skin of my fingers when using pliers to pull out those damn cable guides. Minor - but quite sore!
dropped a mk11 escort gearbox on my head , woke 15 minutes later blood grease ect , finished fitting it drive home before I started to feel a bit !!!!! , I was very lucky !
apart from that nail throught the foot ! twice not at the same time though
various cuts scrapes broken wrist but that was a bike crash !
Fell through the roof of my house (in the loft) landed either side of a joist. Crushed plums was the minor bit, burst one disc, bulged another, fractured two vertebrae :o
You guys are a liability to yourselves!
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
Oh es I forgot putting my foot through the ceiling--------------- frank spencer style

After a very loud Pop I had melted the blade to my thumb stung like buggery and took quite a bit of skin off.

Oh right yes now I remember -- electricity.
Ok not strictly diy but I had a coffee maker thing on a stainless steel shelf that I diy fitted above a plug socket and only put a stainless steel mug under and not the jug and as it was overflowing and running into the socket I grabbed the mug and the belt i got off it resulted in me throwing the contents of the mug all over the kitchen wall

Thought it was a good idea to put a fine tooth slitting cutter in the angle grinder to cut a section out of some hardboard that was nailed to the floor  .
Result. Cutter grabbed and took the angle grinder out of my hand and into the side of my foot. :eek It [size=78%]Cut[/size][/size] straight through shoe and sock and flesh, fortunately stopped at the bone. Blood pouring out so big plaster and bandage and carrier bag to stem the flow followed by quick trip to A & E. Seen to straight away where they removed bits of shoe and sock from the wound and stitched it up. Fortunately no long term damage and lesson learned. Most painful part was the injection to make the stitching less painful. [/size] When I winced during the stitching the doc offered another anesthetic injection but as the last one was worse than the stitching I politely declined the offer.

Ahh yes stitches I remember now I had to have some in my brow and was told the injection would be worse so I didnt bother with the injection -- only 3 stitches though

chopped a piece of the top of my thumb while making a witch,s broom for the kids for Halloween, a bit of vein kept squirting blood, the x missus had just done a first aid course passed out. :rollin
sent from my carafan in tenby, 
Taking a double socket off the wall and forgetting to switch the main off. Bang and picked myself off the floor on the other side of the room. Burnt fingers and a manic giggle were the only injuries.

I once chopped my middle finger off while cutting strips of plastic on a hand bench guillotine. I was wondering where all the red ink was coming from (in my first job I was a screen printer). Hold on I haven't been printing red? Still this red ink kept appearing on these strips of white plastic. I checked the bench for ink then checked my hands.... Aaaaaaggggghhhhh MY FUCKING FINGER'S HANGING OFF! That's when the pain hit me, and all of a sudden there was a lot more blood.
The hospital did a really good job at sewing it back on. They said I was lucky not to have cut through the main flexor digitorum profundus (Tendon) or I would have lost the bendy action at the end of my finger.
Another time I was welding an eye on a side stand to take a different length spring. During the job the spring dropped to the ground so I picked it up in the palm of my hand where it branded me.
I remember my brother when we were at school went to remove a chuck key from a spinning lathe. It looked stationary because it had been strobed by a flickering light tube. He lost about three finger nails but was lucky to keep his fingers.
Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Just flapping about on this stagnant little pond on the outer rim of the internet.....yup.... :-))
When 16 was cycling along watching my mileometer (mounted on front wheel spindle of bike) Rode into back of parked mini & took chunk out of my nose on roof guttering of car. Had 3 stitches without anaesthetic to avoid the pain of injection! Worse was having the stitches pulled out a week later! F*****d my front forks but car was OK. Reading some of the above posts makes me think you guys decided to take up motorcycling as a safe alternative to DIY ! :eek
16 yo cycling uphill to footy match, turned around to check boots still on bike................bang!!!!!!!!!
1 written off mini and coventry eagle, 1 SLG with broken collar bone and 3" chin gash pissing blood al down his front.
14 y/o mowing the lawn and the mower dies. check the plug of the mower, that's fine, check the extension lead, see the loose brown wire and just pop it back into.................................BBBBzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttttttttttt.
arc welding without goggles on
tile cutting with an angle grinder and it pops out of your hands and chases you around until it slices through it's own power lead
fitting second hand kitchen cabinets and using the pre drilled mounting holes without checking what's behind them in YOUR kitchen
forgetting to check if the top of the superglue is on tight when you give it a shake before using it.
i feel a book coming on
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!
At 17 when connecting an earth cable to a distribution board , the 10mm spanner I was using stuck on the nut I was tightening , when I tried to get it off it touched the live terminal and blew me off the ladder .
At 18 when adjusting a bend on 25mm conduit , the conduit slipped in the bender , and I pulled it down with all my weight on top my head .
I slipped off a stepladder , whilst doing the apprentice job of touching up the conduit with black enamel paint , and redecorated the newly furnished room .
I tripped over a cold water pipe while working in a roof void in a nursing home , snapped the joint and flooded out the place , still the plus side was lots of nurses running round waving there arms in the air with wet tops on .
Fell through a gantry on a conveyor system , and smashed my shin on a steel girder put a hole in my leg 2 inches long and 5mm wide right down to bone , had a load of stitches , had to have 3 weeks off work , as I couldn't put any weight on it in case it opened up .
Had to remove an old transformer ( under protest ) from a rail cleaning depot , we parked a scissor lift under it , supported it with ropes from above , I was cutting the brackets with a 9 inch angle grinder , when making the fourth cut in the last bracket , the grinder jammed and smashed just under my chin , the white t shirt I was wearing went red , when I turned round to ask my colleague who was on the ground how bad it was , he went white with shock , I initially thought I cut the artery , so sat down and waited to die , after a minute and I was still alive , we walked back across site to find the first aid box , cleaned it up , got the cnut foreman to take me to the AE to get stitches .
Also had to go to the eye hospital a few times , to get bits of metal taken out .
A bruised cock is nothing , try strangulated testicles , imagine being kicked in the nuts , times that by a 100 and that's somewhere near the pain . (14-05-14, 08:07 PM)Exupnut link Wrote: I bruised my cock once while havin a wank hehe

Oh foc me, where do I start?
The most impressive to date was when I dropped a windsurfer on my hand while manhandling it. Unfortunately, it was in the garage, right above the hot water tank I'd cut in half some months earlier. The windsurfer went, and bashed the back of my right hand, hard, against the jagged edge of the tank. I got the lightheaded buzz of adrenaline, and knew I'd buggered something. Finished moving the board, and inspected the dammage - long gash to the back of my hand, which had mercifully stopped before the vein (but I could see it pulsing with every heartbeat - how it didn't get cut, I'll never know). So I wandered inside and asked Dad for a plaster. He panicked, and started chasing me round the house with a bottle of Dettol to disinfect it! :lol Eventually Mum came to my rescue, and I was taken to A&E for stitches.
Then there was the time I set fire to my crotch with an angle grinder.... :rollin :rollin
