Hey Pandas, What's The Dumbest Way You've Gotten Injured?

like a month ago i wanted to see if i could do a backflip off my roof onto the trampoline. a backflip. of the roof of a two story house. onto a trampoline. note: i have had trampoline related injuries before (fell off of one when i was 6 and split my head open) and my idiot brain decided "oh yeah. this is going to be awesome." i am a JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL. i have a 3.5 gpa and i still somehow thought that this would be safe. Luckily, i did land on the trampoline, and i landed on my back. i was sore for a week and i havent gone near the trampoline since then.

I had a Ham injury. {not hamstring just ham} Thanksgiving three years ago I was taking the Ham out of the fridge at my daughter's house. It was a big Ham and there were three inches of juice/marinade in the pan. The problem was I'm short and the rack the Ham was on in the fridge was right at the top of my head so I had to take it out, over my head, and keep from spilling the juice all over me or the fridge.

I managed to get it out safely (the Ham was safe, I was not) but felt a hot, stabby pain in my elbow. Bothered me for months but wasn't too painful I didn't have strength in it while opening a jar, etc. Finally made a Dr.s appt. and found I had torn a tendon in my elbow and had to have a release surgery.

I crashed into a bush/tree while sledding. Me and my friends were sledding on a path through the woods out into a field. There was a part where the path split with a big bush in the middle. My friend was complaining that her sled wasn't steering right, and I figured I would try it to prove that the sled was fine. The first part of the path was fine, but when it got to the split, it wouldn't choose a side. Obviously, I hit the bush, and sprained my wrist. My friends were all laughing

I jumped over 3 chairs to prove to my guy friend I could do it better. Sprained my ankle really badly and didn't walk right for a few weeks

When I was five we were having a barbeque so I decided to pick up live coal and burned my hand... introduce facepalm

Broke my thump while making tea with honey

I cracked a rib trying to take a dog poop bag out of a recycling bin.

I dropped the bag in the wrong bin, which was completely empty, so I reached in to get it. It was just of reach, so I stretched farther and farther and farther, and just as I grabbed the bag I felt and heard a gristly crack. I’m a dog walker, and I did that on the first walk on the schedule. That was a long day.

Have several but these are the 2 that comes to mind. First I had to walk around with a patch over my eye for a few weeks after injuring it by tripping and landing with my eye on a pool cue. My whole body weight was held by my eye and the cue.
Second was by opening a door too quickly because I was close to missing my bus. A splinter located a couple of inches under the handle went under my whole nail and all the the way up to the first joint. Even the emergency doctors looked a little uncomfortable when they saw it.

I once had a painful tear behind my ear because I couldn't judge how far I had to stand before slam closing my car door.

Maybe above shouldn't be in past tense. This is not a past, I knock my forehead regularly when taking things from car. It's been years.

I chased a pigeon in seventh grade(so I was twelve) and then I stepped in a hole in the grass and sprained my ankle.

iI dislocated my shoulder once hugging my younger sister

When i was 6, i saw a pigeon and i was lke hey, lets pet it. You might havd guessed. It backfired. The pigeon pit me and blood was oozing out of my hand. Not a very fun experience. Dound dum now that im waay older, but in my little empty 6-year old mind this was a smart idea. 🤣 feel free to laugh i wont mind and hv a nice day!😀

I was making something with sugar and then the sugar spilled and landed on the ground without me noticing. I then stepped on it and it got in a cut and was buried there for a while. I put my foot in a tub of water and dissolved it but it really hurt.

I was taking my food upstairs , and I have a weird problem of day dreaming. So , Idk what bull s**t I was seeing in my dreams , But I ended up falling down at the last step. All my food was on the floor. My parents are strict , so instead of seeing the big bruise on my legs , I cleaned all the mess by myself and then saw I was bleeding ! I cleaned it up , and pretended nothing happened but my dad ended up knowing everything because he heared the big *dhum* sound. Instead of helping me , he made fun of me amd laughed all day. You know , The way my father reacted hurted me more than the actual bruise. And now , Its been a month or two but that bruise is still recovering

Fractured my ankle on the last day of school (8th grade) competing in an inner tube race. When I arrived at the finish line I attempted to jump out of the double stacked inner tubes but, didn’t quite make it. Landed on the side of my left foot. The crack of the bone was so loud, it echoed across the gym.

Ended up spending nearly all summer in a non-walking cast. While I missed out on many fun things that summer, I do recall enjoying all the attention I received while “sporting” my fancy cast!

In the early 70's, cutting the bottom of the legs of a pair of jeans at the hem in order to fray them. We would cut the very bottom hem off and then take a safety pin and pull at the threads to make the cuff look 'shaggy'. Held the pants on my leg, used a box cutter, cut right through the pants and into my thigh. Still have the scar and it makes my smile.

I have two main ones.
1. I was 6 years old, and I hit my head on a table while running…in the other direction.
2. A month after the first happened I was running away from the house we were staying in for a family reunion, I got stuck in a fence. We didn’t have anything to get me out so my cousin just yanked me out. Former white fence now bloodstained.

I was walking and tripped over myself…it resulted in a fractured ankle

I put my hand on a hot burner. 9 years old. I knew it was hot. I wanted to see what would happen. Guess what happened? I got burned.

sitting on the floor, doing math on a clipboard the clipboard fell and the metal part hit next to my eye.
OR A year ago, me and my brother were riding down a hill on our scooters without our hands (I would like to emphasize that this was HIS Idea) my scooter hit a pebble, I did a FOOSH (Falling Onto OutStretched Hands) didn't break anything, but both my wrists were hurt, and one of them needed a splint just to be safe. We were moving states a week later.
