What was the hardest thing that hit you by accident?

Question

Heh. Once in eighth grade, I got hit in the shin with a hard baseball. Apparently someone didn't know how to aim. Suprisingly, I didn't curse or yell out and my classmate was wondering what the hell was wrong with me heh.

Answer 2

While in the Army, stationed at the 227th MI BN in Savannah, GA, we were at a firing range, firing to qualify on .50 cal machine guns. These are mounted to a swivel ring in the cab roof of a 2.5 ton Army transport truck. When firing, there is one person firing the weapon and one next to him, spotting the shots. The rounds are belt fed into the weapon and every 4th round was a phosphorous tracer round. Targets were 25 meters away.

I was spotting, having already shot my three belts of ammo. A tracer round ricocheted off a nail in the wood behind the target and hit me in between my canteen and the webbelt the canteen was attached to. I knocked me off the deuce and a half and I landed on my back on the ground with smoke pouring out from under my left arm (phosphorous keeps burning, even in water). The guy who was firing the weapon stopped, called CEASE FIRE to the others on the range, jumped down and started trying to put the fire out, while I was trying to just get the damned webbelt off before the phosphorous melted all the way through the belt and started melting ME.

As scary as that whole thing was, I walked away without so much as a bruise or a blister. Of course, my canteen, wet weather top and webbelt were completely beyond repair. But had that tracer round been 1 inch higher or lower, I would probably not be here to write this today.

Answer 3

A bumble bee hit me in the forehead while riding on a motorcycle. I was going probably about 60 mph. I thought I was going off the back of the bike ! Now I wear a bandana - maybe it'll soften the blow next time.

Answer 4

the other day, I was trying to pull a plant from growing through the fence. I had the back of the shovel wrapped around the base, and was pulling as hard as I could. The shovel slipped out and the handle hit me in the chin, almost knocking me out ! I had to explain to people that I had done it to myself ! It was the kind of accident that you hoped nobody was looking when you did it, 'cause it made me feel kinda' stupid !

Answer 5

A Land Rover when I was crossing a road one morning in April 1992 - I was 14 years old at the time....fortunately, the worst of my injuries was a broken left thigh-bone.

Answer 6

A Dodge Durango t-boned my tiny Toyota Celica!

Answer 7

This kid today ran into me while we were running on the inside track and I went down. I got myself, so no major injuries but the road rash sucks. And yeah...I didn't swear at first...then I got on the bus (i have gym 8th) and everything started burning everywhere.

So I'd say the ground.

Answer 8

A car, when I was 17.
It was drag racing with another car on a street and lost control.

Answer 9

Golf club, full swing. I'm not ashamed to admit that I did indeed yell and curse out the guy who was holding it.
