Had a right angle grinder bounce of something I was grinding one time and catch my hand. Cut it so fast that it didnt start bleeding for like 5 minutes. But when it did it bled like crazy. Also was wet sanding a quarter for paint one time and my hand slipped into the weather stripping rail and the rail went under my finger nail. THAT HURT real bad haha. And cant forget the burns, and little cuts here and there.

Where should I start. Metal in the eye had to have it drilled out, Welding burns happen to often to remember, Burned my arm leaning against my frame after welding still have the mark, did the same thing on the back of the neck, was drilling a whole in some metal and was balancing on my leg drill went through the metal caught the pants and once it did that it removed a nice couple layers from skin from the thigh. Had a spring compressor pop off the spring when i was removing it and it then pushed the control arm down smashing it against my ankle, smashed the finger with a bullpen hammer lost the nail, ripped a good chunk of skin off when I was replacing the welding wire and the slide lid fell down and caught my finger in it but stupid me tried to be quick to remove it but didn't make it and ripped the finger open. The list could go on. But you know I go out and continue working everyday.
Pain is just the weakness leaving the body.

i worked as a welder for a while , so needless to say ive had a few flashburns, when you do it for a living you learn to leave your boots loose-so you can get your foot out. ive had the fringe on my ripped up jeans catch fire, numerous weld berry burns. was sitting under a truck once and had one drop in my lap and burned my nutsack. my buddys new girlfriend got an eyefull that night.
was welding overhead once using an autodarken helmet, my shirt sleeve caught on fire and dummy me tried to blow it out for a couple seconds before it clicked to lift the hood so i could blow it out.
my hands are way scared up, and ive seen my bones and tendons etc. more than once.
fortunately i dont hardly bleed and have a way high tolerance for pain.

I have alot of small scars. I usually use neosporen on them when they are fresh so they go away faster and add to the collection. I have never had a major injury that caused me to go to the hospital. I have never been in a hospital for myself. I was even born in the family doctors clinic.
I have had alot of close calls, but I usually avoid a bad cut or anything by natural reflex.

dang, i guess my worst would be the time i was pretty much asleep working on my old mazda.....couldn't get the seatbelt bolts loose, so i was hitting the ratchet with a framing hammer (u know, big friggen hammer with little spikes on the front of it...) and forgot to move my hand off the ratchet before i swung the hammer.....that one hurt, a LOT..

Ive had a cut off wheel explode and stick into my finger and ive been burnt a few times welding and pincking stuff up before its cooled. The most painfull i would have to say was when i got a wire snake snagged in a tube that i was running wires in and then i decided it would be smart to cut it with clippers....when the metal was cut it slapped back and stuck into my fingernail and went in pretty deep. I just walked out of the shop got in my truck and drive home... my boss was like wtf.
