Bouncing towards victory
One time I left a chuck key (basically a big T-shaped thing that you tighten/loosen the chuck, often on a lathe) in the chuck without noticing (it was out of my field of view stuck in the other side of the chuck) and was promptly slammed in the face by a flying chuck key when I turned the lathe on. I got REALLY lucky, my entire face could have been very seriously hosed up but I got away mostly unscathed.

One time I had just dumped an entire magazine as fast as I could shoot at a farewell get-together with a friend and his friend in the military who was going away due to transfer. I then proceeded to take off my gloves because I wanted to eat a snack. I took my left glove off first and proceeded to go and put the rifle up against a tree so I could take the other glove off, but unconsciously I swapped hands without realizing it and grabbed it by the steaming hot barrel and burnt the poo poo out of my hand. :supaburn:

Thankfully that is the worst firearms thing that I have ever done, it's pretty mild.

Also I managed to wreck a volvo 240 during a power outage when I got confused (it was dark and raining and the traffic signals were out) by getting T-boned but it was mostly my own fault. :saddowns:
