yes, in my youth I tripped and fell on a vacum cleaner attachment, that unfortunatley was still attached to the vacum cleaner 
That took some explaining, I can tell you!

when i was in my late teens i tried to make some ramen one night, and wanted to put some lunchean meat,it was one of those tins where you have the key slot it on the side and wind it, anyway got to near the end the key was in an angle that i can't turn no more, i just needed alittle bit more so i used my finger and thumb wrong move
i pulled and had a deep cut on my finger, blood all over the kitchen floor table etc.
i was put off ramen that day,
funny enough everytime i think of it my finger tingles
another time was maybe a couple of years after that i cooked some ramen, and rushed some chicken (boiled) in it, i think the chicken was uncooked, cos after my 3rd bite i puked it all out , i had no control whatsoever.

Genuine...
I was a butcher many moons ago and one time I'd gone to help out at an unfamiliar shop. I'd forgotten to take my own knives with me and was using their rather sh!te spare set. I was out the back cutting some lamb shoulder when I came across a particularly stubborn tendon. The 6" boning knife was blunt and refused to cut in the traditional 'sawing' style so I flicked it over, hooked the blade under the tendon and pulled upwards. It took a lot of effort to cut through and when it finally gave I slammed the knife into my face.
It sliced my bottom lip in two and wedged firmly between my bottom teeth. There I was p!ssing blood up the walls, unable to give a shout for help, in an unfamiliar cold room set-up. I eventually stumbled out into the sales area at which point a woman passed out on the floor. Apparently I looked a right mess

Once went to a guy who ran over his own leg with a lawn mower...
Another guy who put his elbow through a double glazed window (and nicked an artery...) - WTF thought double glazing was stronger than that...
Another pissed up guy who tried to kick the top panel of glass in a door and did quite a bit of damage to himself...actually he was in quite a bad way...think he survived though
6 year old who stood on a candle stick
The absolute classic is the pissed 60 year old bloke who fell over in the street. He was convinced that he had hurt his left hand...on closer inspection his right hand little finger was at 45 degrees to were it should be (imagine first joint below the nail pointing outwards)...still makes me squirm thinking about that one
No guessing what I do for a living

A few years ago now i was doing an afterschool job of waitering at a local hotel in their function rooms. One of my tasks was to polish the wine glasses using a polishing cloth. I would hold the base of the glass in one hand and use my other had to polish the glass. I was applying pressure to one particular glass when all of a sudden the stem broke due to an imperfection in the glass and went straight through the nail of my middle finger and embedded a number of tiny glass shards in the finger. After a number of botched attempts at getting the shards out with the nail in place the doctors gave up and removed the nail......it's grown back now but as WWP8 has found, it tingles anytime i think about it!!
