build injuries

Post by Smithy0013 »

Some building events do require the blood of a virgin to work well. So what injuries have you sustained while working on team stuff. I was scraping Glue off of a lab table once with a pair of scissors and it closed on my finger and i got eleven stitches out of the deal

1. Helicopters, grabbed a broken heli in the wrong place and the wire cut my finger a few times spinning.
2. Tower, I was wearing goggles but the tower tipped over at failure and hit my forehead.
3. Woodworking, splinters.
4. General weights, smashed fingers.
5. General blades, cuts.
6. General heating elements, burns.

I stabbed a pin into my finger a centimeter or two when trying to make a helicopter rotor.
It hurt :3

Hahahaha. VERY FIRST DAY of Science Olympiad in sixth grade I used an exacto-knife for the first time. Promised I wouldn't cut myself while I ended up cutting myself accidentally mid-sentence.

I didn't really go much afterwards that year... :?

I know sounds of music is kind of in between but someone in our team got injured from that xD
And i was helping out my friends who are doing boomilever and stabbed my finger in the process.
Luckily it was blunt and didn't leave any blood stains.
