Silliest Way You've Cut Your Hand REALLY Badly !!

I was practicing sinawali, the weaving motion you see people do with the 2 short sticks, but I was using 2 folding knives in a stabbing motion, and I let my pattern get too tight, and sunk 1 inch of the knife into my left hand where the thumb padding is on the palm.

I had to get 5 staples, and the Dr., stapling me was a member of the other wing chun school, he like like "you seem kinda tough, here's the staple remover, take them out yourself in 2 weeks".... needless to say that was more painful than getting stabbed.

that about takes the cake !!

:D

Let's just say the result is pretty much guaranteed considering the action !!

In the words of Richard Pryor - "My Dumb Ass"
 
My worst hand cuts have been from doing laminate work, 5 hp tablesaws and the fender well of an Aerostar trying to change out the back sparkplug. Pulled the tenons out of my middle finger while doing nerve damage up to my elbow on that one and made the Dr. puke in the ER.

At least my knife cuts are usually clean. Hope you are doing alright dude. Practice stitching (if it applies) while you have the chance.;):D
 
Well you were walking down the street and these 4 bad guys were picking on some chick, you jumped in and one of them had a knife and cut you. But you pulled your own and they all ran away. In the end you saved the chick. :D


How did it happen by the way?
 
I was sharpening a SAR5 late at night and nodded off. When I jerked awake, I sliced my left hand. I nearly had a much worse incident, when I nodded off and dropped my FBM SE tip down between my feet. On second thought, that was much worse, because I damaged the tip of FBM. My hand healed fine, but it took about 10 hours to fix my FBM.

Holy crap :eek::eek::eek:

Was it a knife or meat grinder that got you!?! :D:D:D;)
 
Tell them your wife cut you, because you saved a woman from drowning. When they ask what river was the woman drowning in, tell 'em it was your bathtub.

The silliest way I cut myself, not counting the times when it all started with a phrase "hey, look what I can do." Would be almost slicing of my middle finger with a leatherman wave while trying to separate two beads on the bead door thingy that were stuck together with clear coat. Lesson don't hold your hand in the path of a blade when the only thing stopping it from going there are two things stuck together, which you are just happen to be attempting to separate.

My old man came home one day a little drunk and with three condoms on his three figures. He was a biochemical process automation engineer, and they were designing some piece of equipment that worked like a press. Long story short, that press took out my father's finger tips, so the helpful coworkers gave him a drink, this was a while back and I don't remember all the details, but the condoms were part of the materials used to dress the wounds. Now his three fingers are equal length and don't feel as much.

And Jack you think your doc was mean, my parents told me to "walk it off" or "sleep it off" no matter what, 5 trips to the emergency room later they are still reluctant to admit their advise was wrong. When I broke my pinkie playing basketball or volleyball, and told my mom I should see a doc about this, she asked me to show her the finger, then when I did, she suddenly pulled on it, and moved fast side to side. When the shook passed and I was finally able to make a sound, I asked why did she do it and she said something like "If it was truly broken, it would have hurt so much that you would have screamed and maybe passed out from pain, but since you didn't do either you must have just pulled a muscle or something." My pinkie is still can completely open up, and they are telling me it was like that since I was born. The worst part is I guess my parents took me for a wimp, and if I didn't scream or didn't pass out then it didn't require their attention (except for two times when I've done something really incredibly stupid/dangerous, and was afraid I'd get my @$$ handed to me just for what I was doing when I got badly hurt.)
 
Skinning a squirrel nine stitches in my index finger using the blade to break the leg. It was a custom knife first time I had used it. Needless to say I was'nt paying attention as my neighbor walked up and said hey what are you doing. I looked up at him just as the knife went through the squirrels leg and into my finger. Went to the bone, that finger still does'nt have feeling in it where it got cut. But I've not done anything like that again. :thumbup:
Live and learn my friend. :)
 
@ volk
wow! ...lol "sleep it off" I need to remember that one. hahaha!

I feel ya, my father was a weird one, he'd give me the "you'd better do what the !@#! I tell you to, or you can just lay there and die!!!"

I think the Dr. was more messing with me than being mean since we were part of the same association, I don't think he expected me to take the remover and just be like "ok!" ..... yeah never doing that again ><

I actually cut myself opening Busse's I get it, I'm always trying to rip the way people package the knife's open just in a rush to see and handle the knives that I have cut myself a couple of times. I also cut myself doing photo shoots with the Busse, dangerous job. And the last thing I is preparing food cause I have a sharp non-Busse knife I use in the kitchen. Non of that is a good reason but I own up to it all the time. I don't think I would have any fingers left if I decided to play or mess around with my knives, they are just too sharp. Maybe if we didn't have Busse and had some cheap dull knives it wouldn't be a problem...
So you can own up to having the sharpest knives money can buy, and it's just so sharp you can't touch it without cutting yourself...
 
I opened an assisted opening knife and apparently I didn't have a good grip on it because it opened with such force that it flung out of my hand. Now, here comes the "silly" part. I actually tried to CATCH it! It was like it was in slow motion and I couldn't stop myself, and I knew that it probably wouldn't end well. I think maybe it was because I was in the garage and I didn't want to blunt the blade tip on the concrete floor, but I can't really say for sure. Anyhow, I cut my knuckle to the bone. It was such a clean cut that it didn't bleed for about 30 seconds. Stitches.

I've cut myself several times over my lifetime, but this is definately the silliest.
 
Brendan, I wish I had some good ideas for you. Hope you heal well, and I can't wait to hear the real story (you know it'll eventually come out ;)).

Probably the silliest way I've ever cut myself was long ago. I was sharpening a pretty big knife on some crock sticks, and had a good rhythm going. My girlfriend walked into the room and spoke to me. Without thinking I looked up at her and missed the crock stick. The knife came down across the back of my left wrist. Lots of blood, but not too bad. Got a nice scar, though, cause I didn't go get it stitched up and probably should have.
