RoastyJones Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I nailed my thumb to the bottom plate of a wall with my Hitachi air nailer once, and one time I was hung over walking top plate on the second floor wall, smashed the shit out of my thumb with a 23-ounce framing hammer and fell off the wall into a mudhole. Both quite embarassing thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I was walking backwards along a dock in Sitka, Alaska when I was in my 20's, waving goodbye to a mate leaving on a boat. I fell through the piling hole (situated in the middle of the floating dock), hit my head on the rail as I went under. I came up for air, and there was just weedy styrofoam. My friend dove off the departing boat and pulled me out from under the dock. I had a huge bone bruise on the side of my jaw for 4 months. Â The looks I got.

ketch Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Roasty, good job on the smashing yourself. It reminded me of tipping up a wall on a steep hillside addition I was working on. We tipped up the wall, than when I went to nail a brace it got bad. I hit my finger with the hammer and when I reacted I hit the side of my head with the claw end. When I pulled back from that I fell through the wall about 8 feet to the ground and tumbled to a stop. My "friends" where all laughing so hard I had to make my own way back up the hill. No dignity but hilarious to look back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenumber3 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Eh... I'm biking home from work last winter. Thought I was so cool 'cause I was riding a fixed-gear. I neglected to roll up my pant leg on the chain ring side. Who cares if you get a little chain grease on your jeans, right? Anyway, I had just come down off a hill on this little deserted side street. Not a soul in sight, totally clear road. Almost in slow motion, I watch in horror as my pant leg gets caught in the chain. Because it's a fixed gear, I can't coast so the pant-leg-chain connection slowly pulls me off me bicycle. Crash. The result - one small scratch on my elbow, and one very broken collar bone. I learned that yelling "fuck!!!" loudly enough in the middle of the road will eventually summon help. I also learned that people have very little sympathy for you if you had just broken your other collar bone riding a fixe 6 months prior. I don't ride fixe much anymore.

davidio Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 so . . . you got a bike you want to sell? i have a small desire to be cool enough to ride a fixe . . . but obviously since it's been crashed and has some bad ju-ju it would have to sell real cheap-like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenumber3 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Nah... I converted it to a single speed. Maybe once I get health insurance again I'll give fixe another go... How many collar bones can one man break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
