Whats the Worst accident uve had

[Raja]

Last year in november fell off my platform which i did not open properly and really fell on my tools that hurt was off work for 2 days my breaker off the cutter got caught in my ribs

Face fell in bucket of adhesive and leg also hit bucket of water was a rite mess in customers house thankfully job was only a £200 1 day job so

In the end did job for nowt A week later......................

Worked out well though as customer got bath tiled shortly after lol must of been shympothy vote or my lovely cute dimples :lol:

Lots and lots of small cuts and bruises, but as for more serious stuff?

Slipped and fell fown a flight of stairs a few years ago, cracked my tailbone, got a hairline fracture in my right kneecap, BADLY bruised my left kneecap, and sprained a few things.

Busted my right elbow pretty bad when I slipped and fell two metres of a scaffold onto a pile of rocks early last year.

Etc..


I've had some funny injuries though, like when I was training Aikido and got thrown headfirst into a metal doorframe. Hit so hard the paint peeled off. Bled like a pig, but didn't even get a headache, though I was pretty disoriented for a few seconds. Still have the scar, and I've been nicknamed "Mr. Potter" for it, as it looks like a lightning bolt
Another time, I was out taking a stroll, minding my own business, and all of a sudden, a baseball bat flew out of nowhere and struck me straight in the noggin. Chipped some teeth, had the mother of a headache afterwards...

Also had a bicycle accident when I was 15, resulted in a 2 day hospital stay. Was in a real hurry, was on my way to buy my father a birthday present (it was his birthday that very day, heh), and was going real fast. Then my handlebars came off... Lost control, hit the curb, flew headfirst into a garden wall, made from slate. Must've blacked out, cuz the next thing I knew, I had ants all over me. Again, bled like a pig from my head; no helmet, hehe. Damn wall lay broken all over the place... Dad said he couldn'tve asked for a better birthday present than me surviving an accident with a mere concussion, hehe.

Cheers.

Re: Worst accident

Wost accident was when one of my clients has fallen from a short ladder into his tile disposal. He ripped his left hand and under arm and can´t use it any more correctly. He had to give up tile laying. Martin

[GazTech]

When starting out as newbie, had angle grinder clamped in workmate cutting ceramic tiles...the carborundum disc shattered and sliced across my thumb. What a bloody mess.....was only next door to Chorley hospital so went to A & E and had it cleaned with a brush(scrubbed) and stitched up. Went back to customers house and it looked like there had been a murder ! got a really good scar from that day...I borrowed some cash and bought a wet saw for my next job!
other injuries include...slashed with stanley knife....whacking fingers with hammers....kneeling on nails.....sawing across knuckles and twising ankles jumping off worktops lol.....oh and cracking head open around extractor hoods with the mitred pelmets, ..Oh and once pinned to the wall by the customers 21 yr old daughter....was sore for days!!

 

[bigdaz]

its the cleaning out that hurts for sure. I had my toes opeated on the next day and a piece removed from my big toe but once I was awake I refused all pain relief as I didnt have any pain. I was able to hobble around within hours
