What's the dumbest way you've sustained an injury, and what was the injury? (lemmy.ml)

I'll go first:

Not even sure how I managed this one, honestly, but I accidentally took out a small chunk of fingernail from my thumb on the stud of my jeans.

Once again, no fucking clue.

I was in a zero speed motorcycle accident with the ground. All I had to do was let go of the handlebars, but I didn't. I had a death grip on the thing. Twisted my wrist pretty bad and it took months to heal. Somehow, twenty years later, I have re-injured it and have been waiting for it to heal all over again. No healthcare of course because lol america. Probably never healed right the first time. Probably won't heal right this time either. Life goes on I guess.

Takeaway: Don't try to "save" heavy things from the laws of physics. Just let it go!
