Car PC related injuries.

**spoonraker** · 01-04-2007, 07:04 AM

I had a toolbox fall directly onto my head from the very top shelf in my garage, maybe 10 feet up. I was incredibly lucky, the toolbox managed to hit my head facing absolutely perfectly straight forward and contacting directly in the center. So basically I dented the toolbox with my head and was stunned. Had the corner of the toolbox been forward, I might have had some severe injuries, sharp corner plus no weight distribution is not fun.

One time my work area in my room was messy and I triped over my ampie case and I was already having a bad day so I kicked my bed in rage and hurt my foot.

Drilled one of my fingers when moding CarPC case.

Also I cut the middle finger of my left hand with a razor blade (left it in the carpet floor and when using tools to take the seat out I applied to much pressure to the Wrench, inserted the whole blade in my finger **you can see the bone and all**) the night before of the florida meet so no time for stitches just some band aids and finger splint.

Thanatos.

Damn - whats with all the finger cuts,

I have got stabbed in the crotch with a screw driver, only went in
to my leg just a little, just missed my nuts buy a hair

,

got a good shock and skin burn from a LCD inverter, soldering iron
burns, peeled the skin off my knuckle when I got my finger to close
to the alternator fan and belt, another time the belt came off and
slapped me - my mom used to hit me harder

, drilled into my
finger 2 or 3 times, I use sheet rock screws a lot, they seam to go
in to sheet metal easy and I have a lot of them, drilled one into my
finger, I sprayed under coat under my car - with spray cans, got a
drop in my eyes, then burnt my hand on the tail pipe trying to get out
from under the car, etc etc etc, lots of small things

I lost my legs writing Digimoto.

Unfortunately I had to make something up because, as a geek, I haven't had much opportunity to do any real damage.

Almost every pin went in to the hilt. Hurt like hell. Was really hard to pull out too, with all the pins it was in there very snug.
