Years ago I punched myself in the face playing tug-of-war with my dog with a rope toy lol. I was pretending to work out by doing bicep curls with my arm that was holding the toy, when it slipped out of my dogs mouth causing me to give myself a bloody nose.

I had a rope swing in the woods near my house as a teen. It was wrapped around a limb some 40ft in the air. To get the most of it, you'd tow the rope over to another tree some ways away, climb to the top (it was a dead trunk some 20ft tall), sit on the stick tied into it, and jump.

I was the lucky rider the day the rope inevitably snapped, right before the apex of the swing. So I basically jumped out of a tree onto my rump, with that stick underneath me to increase the overall damage. There were some little girls from the neighborhood who happened to bear witness, and they were just laughing and laughing. I was less amused.

Fortunately nothing was broken, but I couldn't walk quite right for a couple of months. And of course, we installed a new rope soon after, because teenage boys are very wise.

Oh man, rope swings are fountains of pain lol. I remember one we used as kids that just had a loop at the bottom to put your foot in it, so you would be standing straight up and just holding the rope as you swang. Well, the loop at the bottom came undone while I was swinging on it, and I tried to hang onto the nylon rope to keep from falling to the ground, but thin nylon rope is almost impossible to hang onto, so I slid down the rope to the ground and burned the c**p out of my hands. I don't know how to explain this without imagery, but it basically pulled the skin on my fingers into a new position and then stuck there, so I could barely open them up more than closed fists. Man that hurt lol

If there is a stupid way to get hurt, I will find it, and once again I did. I had just given my cat a generous dose of catnip, and after partaking of the intoxicating herb, she strolled into the living room and flopped onto the rug. I got up to head into the bathroom, but she, all 16 pounds of her, refused to move. She is a big girl, not fat, and as I attempted to step over her, I caught my toes in the hem of my pants, causing me to fall. I didn't hit the floor, however, I broke my little toe to the point that the bone was pushing against the skin. I also damaged the 3rd and 4th toes. All from my pj pants. The entire top and side of my right foot are black and blue and so swollen I can't wear shoes.

Merry Christmas to me!! " slaps forehead in exasperation!"

I wanted to wash my feet in a hotel shower but slipped as it was perfectly clean and polished, teared the shower out of the wall (literally), badly bruised myself from neck to ankles and eventually had to admit this to my very posh to be in-laws since they were paying for the hotel - it was my MIL bday party. Their silence spoke a lot.
Was still allowed to marry their son later 😄

I was sharpening a chisel and my mom told me to be cautious. I told her "I'm doing it the safest way, if I would do it this other way I would get hurt" and then I proceeded to show her the wrong way and I cut myself (I needed up with 5 stitches).

Months later it was healed, I was asked about my scar and proceed to show how I got it (it was supposed to be an educational moment) and i, again, stabbed myself one more time pretty much on the same spot 🙃

Unbeknownst to me, both of my feet were asleep so I did the classic fall forward on my face.

I once ended up in A&E after trying to iron a pair of trousers. I put the hot iron on the end of the board and turned to pick up my trousers. I caught the cable with my foot and pulled the iron over and off the board. I stupidly tried to catch the iron and ended up catching the hotplate, this badly burned my hands and caused me to drop the iron onto my foot fracturing a metatarsal and burning my foot badly enough to blister. I also ended up scorching the carpet.

I have a magnet face. If there's a ball anywhere within a square mile, it's coming at my face. I was once on a swing as a child and a football came from a nearby game to smash me in the nose and knock me off the swing at max height. Because it was back before they invented safety, I fell on concrete. I've also been smashed in the face by a volleyball when I had train track braces and they became embedded in my lips and had to be gently peeled off. I was also hit by a ball which fell from a 4th floor balcony, bounced off two parasols and bounded upwards to get me in the face. The nearby stranger was amazed and my whole family was utterly unshocked, only increasing his confusion.

I was doing a round off back tuck and I landed on my back, my feet swung over my head and four of my toes were bruised and swollen from that especially my big toe. That was in the middle of a 2 hour practice for cheerleading competitive and I still practiced on my toes they hurt like hell. And we had a comp that weekend that I still did I just stuck some tape on it but by the end of that I was a wreck. My coaches did not even know until after the comp because I still wanted to do it and they would tell me not too. After that I told them and I went to a physiotherapist and was not allowed to tumble(do flips) until the next comp. also I had to ice my foot in a big bucket with water and ice for 5 mins 3 times a day and put my foot up and pump it (moving my ankle up and down while it is above my head to get the puss out of it)

So yeah :) also if you read all this idk how!

I'm high-key injury prone and I've gotten hurt in stupid ways a s**t ton before. One of the big ones is that I was sitting on a music stand and I slipped (obviously) and got injured, I've gotten a pretty big and deep splinter from trying to check if a window was locked, and I once ran into a window without realizing that it existed and now I have pretty gory scars and nerve damage that'll never fully heal do that's nice.

In the other direction, I also have a cool little scar on my knee from last summer at a summer camp- I was playing what equates to a game of tag with bows and padded arrows. A friend and I were working together and since we were in the middle of the woods with no paths, not only did I get stabbed by a few thorns and run through stinging nettles, I also slashed my knee open on a branch from a fallen log. We didn't win the game but it was a really cool experience.

One day a few years back, I was tucking in my cloth couch covers and heard a pop, then felt a warm wave come up my arm. No pain.
I pulled my hand out of the cushions to see my 1st knuckle of my middle finger was weird. My finger tip just flopped. I couldn't move it. But, no pain.
So I spent a few minutes yanking and pulling the knuckle trying to put it back "into place". Didn't work.
Had dinner to do and a few other things, so I splinted it and went about my night.
The next day I went to the Urgent Care to be seen.
The nurses flipped out when I showed them my finger.
The doctor was amazed it did not hurt.
After x-rays and such, it was determined I had ruptured the tendon in my finger. (Which, according to the doctor, a ruptured tendon is supposed to be extremely painful)
Took 4 months in a finger splint because I wound up rupturing it 2 more times while washing my hair.
Why it didn't hurt still remains a mystery.

Remember those little square scooters from gym class in elementary school? I was seated on one racing a kid. They’re probably 2-3 inches off the ground. I slipped off it backward and I broke my tailbone. Obviously can’t cast it. All you can do is hope it heals properly. It didn’t and caused chronic pain, like I was sitting with a marble between my butt cheeks. After a year, I had surgery to remove it. No more marble between my butt cheeks! The kicker, I was a grown adult when this happened. At the time, I worked at a kid’s indoor play facility and was hosting a birthday party. Worst. Job. Ever.

When I was in second grade, I once was spinning around and fell. I hit the corner of my eye on a chair.

When I was in 6th grade, I went to a summer camp in Oklahoma. At this summer camp I was learning how to ski. In the ski class we would go out to a plastic turf and takes turns going down with our partner because they didn't have enough skis for each person. When my partner came to give me the skis he tripped as I turned around (I was sitting down and was starting to get up). I got hit beneath my eye.

I went with my nephew up on the highest slide. He went first and I thought let me take a step forward and wave him bye. That's when I slipped and broke my nose, because I hit my head really hard against a steel bar at the front of the slide. Meanwhile I had to run the whole slide trying to stay awake.

I've broken my tailbone twice, and both times were ridiculous (and completely from my own hubris).

#1- I was 12 and had been watching a lot of surfing movies that summer. When we finally got a Slip n Slide, I thought it'd be a great idea to go down like a surfer. I took a good running start and started sliding down the hill- only to have my feet fly out from under me, and I went down hard. My butt managed to find the ONE flat rock hidden in the grass, and my tailbone was summarily cracked. Now...did my parents sue Whammo (like they would nowadays)? Nope, it was my own dumb fault.

#2- I was 35, and walking my dog in the pouring rain. The kind of rain that falls so hard it seems like it's bouncing and falling up. For whatever idiotic reason I thought it was fine that I was wearing flip-flops. My dog was pulling hard to get in the house (all 15lbs of her) so instead of going down the driveway I cut across my yard and took the side staircase- made out of bluestone. My feet slipped out from under me as there was zero traction and I fell down hard, breaking my coccyx again. I hit the ground so hard my eyeglasses flew off into the bushes (and I came outside later to see if I'd cracked the step, which is a thin plate of stone). To add insult to injury, as I lay there screaming in pain, my dog came back and hid under my legs to get shelter from the torrential rain, since I wasn't going fast enough for her.

TL;DR- watch your step

I was helping a friend clean up her yard after her husband died mid-house renovation. I carefully leaned some large glass pieces in a corner "So nobody accidentally cuts themselves." Not 10 minutes later I sliced my finger open on the same glass and had to go to urgent care to get several stitches and a split.

When i was a kid, i had a really big inflatable water slide. My friends and I decided that it was a great idea to jump and try to spin before sliding down the slide. I soon discovered that it was not, as i launched myself off onto the concrete 10 feet below. managed to only break my foot, though!

I was walking my dog after he had just finished an agility course. He was a bit hyped up and spotted his bestie in the opposite direction to which we were walking...suddenly bolted resulting in me dislocating 3 fingers and ending up at the emergency room. I was cool but the instructor in charge took one look, threw up and then fainted. All three have slight arthritic tendencies with one bending slightly to the left to this day. Hurt like hell but entirely my fault....

I cut my finger with a Ginzu knife. I came home a little drunk after watching a football game in a bar, and decided I didn't like the little pegs that were on the bottom of my kitty litter scooper. I was trying cut them off when the knife slipped and cut my left index finger. Still have the scar.

Took young cousins sledding and I was on one of those circle 🔵 sleds that are hard to control. The hill was huge and in no time I'm flying down it, spinning in circles. I drifted over to the "big kid" side where they were snowboarding and jumping snow ramps. I hit a ramp going backwards, flew up through the air and hit the grounds so hard I shattered the sled and my spine. So in short, I broke my spine... sledding... lol

I was getting out of the car and I felt my feet slip on the ice and I then tried to stand up but I slipped and scraped my knee on the pavement, and fast forward to today, I decided to peel the scab off and then it started bleeding a bit, so I had to put a bandage on it, but it got wet in the shower and I had to put a fresh bandage on it.

Once when I was on a cruise I was carrying around a bucket of glitter and I had the bright idea to start running with it while wearing flip flops. I fell and skinned my knee taking a chunk to. It got badly infected on the remainder of the cruise. But the worse part was when i returned to school I slipped on water in the hallway falling down on the knee. Blood gushed from it all over the floor scaring my high school principle. It has left my knee discolored and sensitive to pressure, but never went to a doctor for it.

I bought this absurdly high platform shoes, the platform was wooden and very heavy. First time I wore them I was on a date with this handsome older guy, for some reason I assumed I’d match his maturity with height…cute but misplaced confidence. The date ended up being dinner followed by us walking around an old town square. Stepping off a curb the platform went left and my foot went right. Snap goes my ankle. Cut to my date having to carry me crying to his car and then into the ER. Crying for him to call my mom. Leading to some very disdainful looks of nurses and eventually my mom. I broke my ankle trying to look cute. I dunno when he slipped out but I never got those shoes back 🤣

Had a clog in my dust collector (for woodworking). Couldn't find it, so I took the hose off and was "?" thinking, maybe a jam in the impeller. Shut it off, but didn't wait for it to stop turning, put my finger in the intake to the impeller, it came quickly back out, bloody and painful (OW). Run to the house, clean it, bandage it, I hope I've learned my lesson. Turns out the jam was in the hose, where it will be 97.36% of the time. Could've lost the last bit of a very useful finger.

Not sure if this counts, but when I was maybe 7 or 8 I was sitting on the floor putting on my shoes to go to school, and our new puppy jumped up to lick my face and one of his super-sharp baby teeth sliced completely through my eye lid and I had to get a bunch of stitches.

I also threw my back out sneezing while driving and nearly crashed into another car.

2nd submission. Again not me, this time a family friend. We had just been hanging out (we lived across the street at the time) and we’d parted ways to make dinner, etc. My family was sitting on our front porch when the mom comes running up their driveway, yelling for my dad. Apparently the guy had been trying to get the pit out of an avocado and stabbed the king all the way through his hand. Luckily he’d missed all his nerves, tendons, bones, etc. Dad had to go help him, ambulance was called, he got stitches and everything was ok. We laugh about it now.

This is the PERFECT THREAD FOR ME TO ANSWER IN! Okay once, my dog was lying down in front of the couch. So I’m bored (nothing good happens when I’m bored) and so I think “I wonder if I can jump over the dog and do a cannonball onto the couch?” So I did, and my knee BONKED my nose so hard, it felt like hellfire was setting my nose aflame! So I’m frantically walking to the kitchen in panic, thin snot pouring out my nose. So I reach the kitchen, I say “What’s gonna help me here?” So I go all the way across the house to the bathroom, where I find out, the thin snot……..wasn’t thin snot…..it was blood- So I do the stupidest thing I could do and without a paper towel, a rag, or anything! …..I blow my nose. BLOOD. WENT. EVERYWHERE! And so Half of me was like “AWESOME!” the other half was like “Uh- Not really!” So I hurry and clean up the bathroom, and I look to the side of me and I see a trail of red dots, going from the kitchen to the bathroom. Once the bleeding stopped I frantically cleaned up my blood before my mom and dad got home. After that? I just continued watching Toy Story and acted like nothing happened.

Well, my cat sleeps on my bed at night as well, near my feet. One time I moved my leg or my foot in my sleep, she was startled by my movement. I then was slightly startled by her movement, she was even more startled by mine and I again by her. At some point during this chain reaction I hurt my back and I couldn’t sit straight the next day.

This is kind of a funny story because I did not in fact get injured, but I definitely should have. I was in a fight with one of my parents, so being the stupid teenager I was, the only rational way to deal with it was to sneak out my window with a rope made of jeans and walk to my other parent's house. Of course, I could have just walked out the front door, or even tried to calmly resolve the issue, but I don't like confrontation. So I fashioned myself a 15ft rope out of my jeans knotted together, threw it out my bedroom window (2nd floor), and started to climb out. Now, as I was shimmying out the window feet first, I forgot to grab the rope. The rope I specifically made to hold onto. So I fell smack dab onto the ground on my back. I didn't end up going to my other house because I decided I didn't feel like it because it was like 11 pm so I rang my doorbell and went back inside. I had to have the confrontation anyway, so I should've just spared myself the possible death. I didn't get a scratch though, which was really surprising to me. I prepared myself for a broken arm before I left, so I was pretty happy about it.

When I was 8 we had a slackline and there was a rope above it so that way I would not fall off and I was jumping on the Slackline. all the time I would jump and then I would land on the ground with my hands still holding on to the Rope I was always fine though because the slack line was like a foot off the ground.one day I was doing that and it was really hot so my hands slipped off the rope and I fell on the ground with my hands up and I broke my arm.

Broke my foot by missing the last step.

Hurt really bad, but I could wiggle my toes so I stupidly thought it wasn't broken. Proceeded to walk on it for the next 4 days. An all day reptile expo, home inspections, etc. My mom took a look and made me go to the hospital. The Dr showed me the x-ray and said "see the break" and no, I didn't. It was a complete break of the bone on the outside of my foot! My mom and I were cracking up that I didn't notice. The Dr asked if I wanted pain meds. I said no, because I'm cracking up now and have been abusing it for the last 4 days. Apparently ibuprofen was working well enough
