Share your FREAK accidents!

[M To The Maxx]

This story is not about me it is about my brother. I was 1 year old and my brother was 3 or 4. We were at my uncle's house (not real uncle but close to the family) and he had a rottweiler and my brother was playing with the dog. The dog bit him in the eye lid!!!!!
He had to get stiches. It was pretty gross and horrifying for my parents at first. I don't know if that is a freak accident but I thought I should share that.

I'm sitting on the couch with my DS, who is watching tv... and I keep giggling. Not that these accidents aren't serious, but some of them are dang funny too... the chainsaw in the tree one got me, as did the concern kooshie feels about being jinxed... wow...


Broken bones are awful. The midwives at our hospital broke my tailbone to try to give my son more room when i was trying to give birth... I ended up having an emergency c-section, so couldn't sit (OW), or lie on my back, OR my stomach after the birth... such a bummer... no pun intended...

My husband fell through a roof when he was doing construction, just out of High school. Someone had put tar paper over a hole, to keep the rain out, and it blended right in, and he stepped through, and broke his back on the floor 2 stories below.. (cathedral ceiling, ya know)... My mom got her front teeth knocked out by a Tetherball in grade school.

My father once blew up a garbage bag full of Hydrogen gas, that he made during some chemistry experiment with my brother. He was on the porch, and lit it. It blew in all the glass windows along the porch, my mother was less than thrilled, and he walked away with only burned off eyebrows and lashes, and a little bit of a 'sunburn' on his face... Oh, and the expense of FIXING everything!

Not me, I ain't saying a dang thing about it, I still have nightmares.
Second honeymoon- 24' ladder- chainsaw- broken arm- broken back- three days in the hospital- peeing in a bag.

Not a highpoint in my life.

Worst thing that happened to me recently...

We were getting ready to eat supper and we were having corn on the cob. I was using those little corn handles, putting one into an ear for my DD. Somehow it slipped and the entire length of the two spikes on the corn handle rammed into my palm. It was in the part right below the thumb. It went in as far as it possibly could, just as far as you would stick it into the corn.

OUCH!

I was stunned for a second, and then I pulled it out. It was so freaky, it hardly bled. It was just a terribly sore bruise for weeks.


It was one of these...the corn shaped one on the left in the picture.

not sure if this belongs here but:


i was trying to move my husbands bmw converitble (forget year like 89') and its a stick shift.
Well i was very inpatient, I decieded i can try and just step on the breaks if theres an issue.
Well i did drive the car and move it all right, i went straight into our car garage! ugh!!!! like the car is now stuck in the garage.
Husband is out a concert with his brothers, and will soon be comming home.
what to tell him exactly, figured i best call my dad (he owns a stick shift) and he moved the car out.
problem was i smashed in the garage. my dad helped me push it back in (thankgoodnessitwastheplastickind) so then i noticed the window above shattered. gonna be hard to conceil that one.
my husband did come home, but it was dark (thank goodness).
i did tell him, he was kinda shocked i tried to move it. he wasnt angry like i thought he would be.
thats my story, not exciteing but there you have it.

OK, I was 17 and we would climb trees at work during break time. The trick was to pick one out that would bend the further you got to the top. The tree would bend all the way over until your feet were on the ground. Once you let go the tree would wave back and forth, kinda fun.
Never trust someone else's judgement. I ended up climbing 30' in the air on a half rotted tree that ended up snapping about 20' off the ground!! OH CRAP! Huge stump right below me. The next 5 seconds seemed like five minutes. Falling 20' holding 10' of tree and landing right next to stump, scratching my hip. I guess it was funny, because the guy who told me it was ok, just about wet himself.

When I was a little over a year old, my brother and I were playing in the back yard of my grandparents' house. They have concrete patio and the steps going into the house is also concrete. Well, Big brother and I thought it would be fun to be pushed around the patio on my litttle Pink big wheel. Brother pushed me around and when we turned around the table, the big wheel tipped over and I fell out. I hit my chin on the concrete steps and had my 2 BRAND NEW top teeth jamed COMPLETELY through my bottom lip. My father and grandma were the only ones there, my mom was out front.

Took me to the hospital, had 4 stitches put in, inside and outside. And they placed a cast over my head for 12 hours. I cried myself to sleep that night...

I still have the scar and it has been re-opened SEVERAL times throughout my life. Playing on the playground's jungle gym at school, riding ATV through the woods, jumping on the bed with my brother and our buddies, got into a fight with another girl after school (she pushed me and I fell onto a brick boarder flower bed), even falling off my horse. LOL! It never ends!
