That's ok. Let's just agree that we have both been pretty careless on the motorcycle. I'm paying quite a toll right now in arthritis.

Yourself?

Well I still have 3 CR500s and a CRFX450.. I'm planning to go out this weekend.
Wish I could post pics. The one of my butt from 9 days ago has people rolling on the floor...it did hurt like a SOB.
The back healed %100.. my knee is about %90...my biggest problem is carpal tunnel snd. from 15 years of crimping wires on wire harnesses.

My vote is still that pdqdl is the winner!

As per most injuries on AS. Not arthritis.


Carry on.

I'm not sure that I qualify. There were quite a few fellows that have really been hurt very badly. I probably only win the award for "most injuries done stupidly"

You dildos are actually BRAGGING about your Darwinian moves ???
Never have any near where we work, play, mission..... never. You do those kind of ditz moves, de-brief so it doesn't happen again, or, or, more important, affect your unit or crew.

Damn, these stories are tough to take. But bragging about screw-ups !! I'm ready for a long drink.

I haven't seen anyone brag in this entire thread. Apparently you have never been seriously injured, otherwise you would understand the motivation to participate in the thread. I guess it is kind of like joining a club...you might not understand the motivation to join until after you are in the club.

It was threads like this that kept me from being seriously injured 3 years ago. Read that as "career ending injury".

No one is forcing you to read it. If it doesn't benefit you or you don't understand it, you are free to move on.

No dog. Won't get another--burying 3 is too much over the years. I'm sensitive.

And: No use of bad words to make the sensitive here upset ( got sent to banned camp for the use of "dildo" ...so sorry. )

Let's try "Darwin Award" for avoidable hits ?

There is a difference in using the word, and using the device.

Just saying.

Joe: I am pleased that you are talking nice now. So...What is your worst injury.

And how could you have prevented it?

I am 16 and i have been felling, trimming, and running a chainsaw for about 2 years and have only had one incident with them. A few months ago I was taking a limb down that was about 15 feet away from the trunk of the Oak i was in, and after undercutting the limb making sure my groundie was away (my dad) i started the top cut. After finishing the cut, the whole limb bucked a little more than planned and forced me to use my left hand to steady myself, but that also put my hand on the chopping block. Right under my saw. That was running, and on its way down. So after 4 stitches in each of my 4 fingers on my left hand and a little plastic surgery, they all look right as rain!

One of my other stupid mistake was drilling holes in studs of my brother's new house with a half inch drill for electrical wire. We had done almost the whole house, but in his master bedroom there was a stud that was a little bit of a tight fit for my drill, so i took out one of the nails going into the header and one into the footer so i could move the stud so i could finish the hole. I then grabbed right behind where i was about to put the hole, proceeded to put the drill bit though the stud and right into my left middle finger, straight into the bone, severing nerves and COVERING that wall with blood. Still working on getting feeling into that finger.

Last one. I was doing a roof for the parents of a friend of mine with my older brother and was using my brand new rigid coil roofing nailer and shot a roofing nail right through the meat of my right hand. Bled like hell, but got my pliers, pulled it out, grabbed my handkerchief, wrapped it up and finished the roof.

Those are just my big ones, countless run ins with non moving chainsaw chains, hammers, doors, and things like that are just day to day occurrences.

NEXT!
