What's the silliest thing you've done to land yourself in Casualty?

Question

Come on people, I'm nosy. I want to know the daftest accidents you've had. :)

A couple of years ago, I was at a friends' house making soup. She handed me the potato peeler, warning me that it was very sharp. I mean, this really was a beast of a potato peeler. It was practically industrial-sized. Still, I took my first slice at the potato, and noticed that it had turned red. Puzzled, I looked at my finger and saw that I had sliced the top off it, and blood was pouring down my wrist. Strangely, it didn't hurt, but my friend panicked and drove me to A and E with the rest of my finger pumping blood into a tea towel.
Once there, they injected some local anasthetic and tidied the rest of my finger up a bit. All the time my finger was bandaged, people would ask what I did, and I would have to mumble:
"Potato peeler", and walk off leaving them puzzled.

Answer 1

Jumped on the back of a car when it was just starting to take off and the driver didn't know I had jumped on and pressed the gas pedal and I flew off. Broke both of my wrist. It hurt like heKK. (age 15)

Also when I was 7 years old me and a friend were playing in the back of a pick up truck and we were pretending we were in a boat out on the lake and I decided to jump in and have a swim........Broke my arm.

Answer 2

I have three from the time I worked in a flooring warehouse.

1) I was cutting an expensive roll of decorative carpet, and since the cut had to be very precise, I had a very sharp, oily blade. When I rolled up the carpet and wrapped some tape around it, I balanced the rug on my knee and sliced the tape. The blade hit my leg. I looked at my pants and there was a hole. I looked in the hole and saw that I gave myself a new mouth, and it was making a sad face. It took 17 stitches and a cardiac specialist to shut it because my 17-year-old self was raging with hormones and the skin was tight as a snare drum.

2) I threw a roll of carpet padding onto a trailer, and the top came down, smashed my head between it and the floor of the trailer, and it broke my nose in two places from the inside out. The doctor said it crushed my head like an orange.

3) I got a good lashing from a 500 lb. nylon rope that snapped when my co-worker and I were trying to use a forklift to pull out a roll of carpet that had gotten buried under several other rolls. If I didn't have a wallet in my pocket, I'd be dead. Not really, but I would've wished I were. It broke skin and left a nasty bruise.

Answer 3

Friend's boyfriend knocked me down at a rollerskating rink. I was wearing a long skirt that limited my ability to "fall" the way I usually would in pants. He landed on me and made my fall worse; sprained my wrist (well, the doc said it was fractured.) It was a lot of fun explaining how this happened, and why I went straight to work and worked with it for a couple days before going to the ER about it when some people at church saw how messed up it looked. Well, I was very upset with my friend, and didn't want to miss work, even though I had to miss the rest of the party! So I waited till a day off. :D

Answer 4

Last year I was out in the garden, at night, slightly drunk, and I was shooting at stuff with an air gun, a pellet jammed, and when I was trying to fix it I accidentally pulled the trigger, the cocking arm snapped up onto my hand... as soon as it happened I ran into the bathroom coz the pain was so bad I thought I was going to be sick, and when I got into the light my fingers had turned white and blue and were bleeding... I managed to get my rings off just in time as my fingers swelled up really quickly, then I went back out to get help and nearly fainted with the pain and shock!

I broke my fingers but I couldn't get to hospital as I live in the country and everyone was drunk, so I just had to sit with my hand in ice cold water and drink as much as I could to numb the pain.

The moral of the story is, never go out shooting while drunk and stoned in the dark... or get an air gun with a safety catch!!

Just thought of another one - you know the press ups where you balance on your hands and hold your body horizontal without your feet touching the ground? Well, I tried to do them drunk on a pool table... needless to say my arms gave way and I split my chin on the edge of the pool table!

Answer 5

I got my index finger stuck in the steering wheel while at a drive through. Needless to say, I freaked out when I noticed it start to turn purple and the Fire Department had to be called to assist in the removal process. Thankfully, the Jaws of Life wasn't used and I wasn't put in the paper.

Answer 6

ok then here we go. when i was young i had 2 silly accidents: first one, i had a climing frame and the firemans pole thing that hung in the middle had broken off and there was a peice of wire dangling down (you can guess whats coming cant you?) anyway there i was dangling from the top inside the climbing frame watching this peice of wire swinging left and right judging the right time to let go. as i did the wire swung back and cut me just on my right eyebrow and left a lightning bolt cut (ive still got the scar nearly 20 years on!) i was screaming in pain and my sis gave me a piggy back ride all the way to the docs. second one was stupid, i was playing in the garden while mum was washing up, she had a habit of using domestos bleach to clean the cups if they were very grubby. i came rushing in, saw my fave orange plastic cup grabbed it said 'thanks mum' thinking she had done me a drink gulped it down before she could shout 'NO!' seconds later i was in the loo barfing, my dad took me to a and e and was made to drink a pint of milk there and then and a pint of milk when i got home before i went to bed. theres loads more but i wont bore you any more.

Answer 7

This past October I was finishing cutting my lawn, as I stepped onto the cement, tripped, fell and split my knee open. Couldn't stop the bleeding, drove to Emergency 'cause my doctor was closed. Thought people were going to faint when I walked in with my Levi's bloody from the knee down.
