What is the most recent stupid way you have hurt yourself?

yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to dust off the longboard and go ride down a local hill into the parking lot below where I can cruise to my hearts content. Just a few runs I thought, but couldn't convince the kid to go with me and the wife has pretty much retired from hill riding even though she is by far the best of us.

anyway, didn't really account for it being fall and the likelihood of a lot more debris being on the ground, on about third run, right when I've nutted up and gone to the top of the hill for max velo, I hit something, wheels lock up for a fraction of a second and all my weight shitfs forward, then wheels clear whatever it was and board moves forward like the fucking thing had booster rockets because all my wieght is shooting it out from underneath my feet. i can actually feel my right foot launching it out from under me.

Stupidly I try to brace with my right arm as I fall backward, instinct being what it is. Hit the ground and feel my back lock up, because I'm an old man, and my collar bone and shoulder jolt with pain.

Lay there for a second thinking oh fuck did I really hurt myself, how the fuck and I'm going to get to the car to get help, I hope nobody saw that, and was that a peregrine falcon, because as I'm laying there I think one flew over me.

Sit up in time to see my board complete its' solo journey down hill and slam into the curb but not hop it into the busy street below, and think well if I can stand and lift my arm and make a fist, I'm gonna go get that fucker, go home and swallow a bunch of aspirin and some beer and consider myself pretty damn lucky.

Shoulder & collar bone hurt bad for about an hour but were clearly not damaged enough to go to hospital, had a shitty night's sleep and cranky old man back will probably haunt me for a couple of days. Board has some nifty new scratches but no real damage.

Thank god for slide gloves, helmets, beer and aspirin.

The really dumb part was going alone, not keeping my phone on me knowing I was alone, and not really checking to see how much shit had accumulated along my likely paths even though it is fall and I might fall.

Y'all? anyone want to share a "blessed are the dumbfucks" kind of story?

I’ve noticed that as we get older we tend to want to take less precautions to try to think we’re still as young and capable as we once were so there’s no need, when they’re precautions we would always take when we were younger because not doing so is stupid haha

it's kind of like a bell curve
 
I broke a rib dancing to funk, jumping up on one leg onto a puddle of beer I had just myself drunkely spilled. My foot washed out and I went down, and figured I'd better try and save my beer - after all, spilling the beer was what got me into this mess in the first place - instead landing on my ribcage.
 
I got a blister from excercising / walking in new shoes.

Played 3 games of dota and felt my click fingers today a bit. So it wasn't boxing but gaming. Was suprised how I hit the bag pain free. Well I stopped gaming.
 
Ups clicked post didn't finish.

I stubed my small toe like 3 times and it's black for a month.

I literaly didn't hurt myself in forever.

My heel hurt from sprinting and jumping too much lime 3 weeks ago also had this sole feet pain for loke 4 days. The shoes I wore were shit, cost like 27 euros.

I kinda don't get hurt. I warm up long before gym. Stretch now regulary.

My back was a bit hunched for 5 days cause I failed the 180 kg deadlift atempt twice in a row. Didn't hurt just had a hunch.

Nah didn't get hurt.

My knuckle was a tiny bit bruised from hitting the soft bag withour gloves, now the skin adapted and it doesn't mini crack.

Can't think of more.
 
Dumbest getting hurt all time I was like a teenager got a new bike. Looked down for a moment and didn't paddle. Flew into a ditch with trees / branches. Bled from my shin and cried when I come home 😅. Scar has faded by now. Had a deep cut.

Other dumb hurt, I was 17 and running chilling at night at the soccer stadion with 2 friends. Older than me. They said run if we catch you we beat you. Joking. I ran and took a short cut. Tripped fell down. Was like wtf how am I gonna be a boxer if I get hurt from just falling down. Like how this this hurt me. Turns out I poped out my ankle. Walked with "sticks" for 2 weeks in a cascet. Some old guy from my moms villege popped it back in. Took like 5 years to never like "slip" on it again. Like stand on it wrong fall down.

And not going to the dentis on time I had like 3 root extractions. Jeesus. Worst thing. Close to worst. Cutting the gums open is nice. But than the cranking I get so scared. I hate it. And this one guy gave me such a bad neesle into it, I ran into the pharamcy and drank 10 ibruprofeen 600 within 24 hours. Dude butchered me with the needle. Guy couldn't speak German. When he hit me with it I screamed. Right into the swollen gums. He definitely missed. Also gave me a second poke. I literaly screamed.

Yeah I don't get hurt much.
 
Popped a rib leaning on the rail while fishing a tennis ball out of the pool during the winter.
 
Partially tore a ligament in my left wrist doing (way too) heavy hammer curls.
Healed now but I was seriously restricted with my workouts for a month or so.
 
Just bought a beaut new knife sharpener and dutifully sharpened all the knives with it .
I have this big cleaver like knife that is great for scooping up the chopped veg after you have chopped it.
Was chopping rather gnarly out of shape carrots on Saturday and it rolled off and I just about cut off the tip of my thumb. Luckily I wasnt pushing all that hard but it cut through the nail and I bled like a stuck pig. Luckily the better half is a nurse.
 
wasting my time and energy on worthless crap and mentally ill people

How did you manage that one? Forgot it had to come back down?

I was a little kid following the actions of my older brother and his friends. They threw rocks in the air and ran out of the way.

I picked a jagged rock that took two hands to lift, threw it in the air as hard as I could, ran forward and ran beneath it.

Ahhh, gotcha. I thought it was recent, so it made me laugh thinking of a grown man busting his head open with a rock they threw themselves. A little kid doing it isn't as funny. Still is, but not as much.
