I was thinking about all the weird random injuries I've had over the years, and I was curious as to if anyone is as accident prone as I am/was...
My best:
Rollerblading last year down this big, long hill. It wasn't steep, just long. Toward the end, I picked up a fair bit of speed and so (seeing as how I don't know how to stop and those rollerblading little brakes do nothing) I skated onto the grass....unfortunately, anyone who has bladed before knows that skating onto grass makes you trip...so I grabbed onto a pole to prevent myself from falling (into the mud). The only problem was that the pole was made of concrete, resulting in a veeeeerrrrrry nice gash (several in fact)from wrist to elbow (on the inside of my arm). I skated like that for about another hour and a half and then went to student services, just as they were closing. I showed my injury to the receptionist who was like, 'Oh! Oh...dear...okay...you just...sit...and I'll....oh, sit...take off your rollerblades...oh no...I don't ....oh, help...oh" She had NO idea what to do.
I wore a bandage for like, a month or so. Not fun.
2nd runner up: Spilling boiling hot tea on my legs as a child (I was so stupid, trying to lay down while holding the mug of tea. 2nd degree burns, niiice.
For the record, I am since scar-free. Thank goodness.
