Just in case anyone missed it first time ?

Thanks for that

I've got quite the back catalogue tbh.
Hot metal shards in my eyeball.
Wooden spike right through my foot from bottom through the top, boots included.
Foot went through slate on a roof and ripped ankle/calf/knee open.
Fell off a 20ft roof and down through a shed roof into the shed.


Are a few highlights

About 35 years ago a young lad in town here was sat on his skateboard going down a steepish hill on a road, at the junction he didn’t stop and ended up under the wheels of a lorry, think he could only have been about 10 at the time. Died instantly…… not sure what became of his skateboard

Ouch! that doesn't sound good. I actually wasn't too bad on mine and had a fairly decent repertoire of tricks and could do stairs and handrails and the such like but then one day I tried to kickflip over a handrail at Liverpool Uni and the board just disappeared form under my feet in mid air. I then did that automatic starfish thing trying to support myself (even though there was nothing to support me) and came down on a straight leg from about 6ft. I have never forgotten the noise of the bones crunching.

Broke my arm (again) playing footy a few years back. Just went over on it and thought i'd sprained it as there was a quick jab of pain and nothing else

Went to eat afterwards and there was a part of my arm that looked like a U. Was in hospital for about a week because they couldn't figure out the best way to fix it. Ended up with a screw in arm/wrist for 2 months

Also saw a girl partially scalped working on a show (Jack and The Beanstalk) when she dropped down through a trap door in the ceiling (Jack being chased by the Giant) and caught her hair. Ripped a nice sized flap into her skull. Thankfully during rehearsals so no horrified audience to deal with.

 

[Groucho]

Hope she's OK mate.
Nasty one that.


Godspeed @Morag ?

Thanks you mate

Was playing The Dove From Above and it all got a bit messy...

lol

Have had my leg broke (no great pain) and tore my hamstring (which felt like someone pulling a knife down the back of your leg when youre trying to stop running), but lying in the shower in the foetal position after one really bad kick to the balls is the worst ?

I once managed to drill a hole in the fleshy bit above my knee. Doing some DIY and I somehow managed to put the drill on auto lock - turned round, tripped over the drill cable and fell onto the drill when it was still going.

All these fleshy stringy bits came up and out just like metal or wood when you drill through them.

I squealed

Bionic man, you.

Could have done a job coming off the bench if it wasn't for those pesky knee ligaments.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

I had a pretty close shave the other day.

Drew a bit of blood but my fault for buying the cheapo razors.

Think its spelt knobhead mate

Sounds like chapter 3 of Yerry Minas auto biography.
