Ok for this one, you`ve got to own up. I`ll be the first to have the balls and show how i`ve been a tit..
on sunday i was making a bracket for my oil catch tank out of some angle iron. I was just about to finish where i was drilling two 4mm holes for some self tapping screws, i didnt have a vice handy so was holding my work piece with my left hand. it was at this point where the drill bit snapped and as i was being a tit and putting too much pressure on the drill, it went through my thumb nail and out the other side of my thumb.. :rolleyes: :embarrassed:

Worst I did was on Sunday actually!
I feel a right plum as its such a stupid thing to do too!
Replacing parcel shelf straps on the Rado, I needed to pull the old broken bit out with a pair of long nosed pliers, whilst cutting underneath with a pair of snips.
To cut a long story short, the long nosed pliers slipped off whist I was pulling it up, with my face far too close!
Queue a trip to the eye infirmary!

oooof, i hate eye injuries... looking at them make my eyes water.. :sick:
-
I was pretty lucky it was only the sclera that was damaged and have no impairment to my vision really. Got to put eye drops in twice a day now as there is a fair gouge out of it. Photos don't show the extent of the damage!

Was working on my ABF engine whilst it was on a stand. Underneath it un doing the sump nut, cue engine coming off stand because bolts not tightened (my mate thought i done them, i thought he did) and dropping 18 inches striaght on to my right hand.
3 broken bones and a nasty rip across the top. Now just a small L shaped scar from the stitches.
what a tit! :laugh:
-
oh dear...lol... that was a clumbsy one... :laugh:

Are you guys telling me you manage to do jobs on your cars without taking chunks out of your hands? I don't think I can change the radio station without bleeding somehow

stole my thunder dude, i did exactly the same thing years ago, trimming a cambelt cover down on my 1,6cl, had 5 stitches in it and it didnt even bleed, just started weeping with loads of clear plasma.....

Dropped a car down onto my fingers the other day guiding a coilover into location.....lets say my fingers were between the coils and car dropped a bit quick. painful.
Not on a golf, but was about 5mm from stabbing myself in the eye with a screwdriver trying to put caliper retaining spring onto a caliper of a megane.....lesson learnt not to try that again!

Worse thing I ever had was knocking myself out. I was under a 4 post and my total knob end of a boss let it down slightly while I was picking up the gearbox (we didn't have all the fancy hoists :grin:). I got up not realizing as the ramp goes down pretty quiet and smash my head straight on the sump. Managed to not drop the box and pass out.
I come round, say "is there any blood" "nope" go check mirror then find it's pouring. Went mental, apparently he said, compressor was on I didn't hear.
He never did it again though! Probably shouldn't have been lifting the gearbox on my own either from the floor but H&S was never followed at that place. :grin: Didn't have many accidents though tbf. Only the usual cuts etc.
I also was levering something, something says gearbox but I can't see it could have been, maybe an anti roll bar or something and the big bar slipped.
I have a black bump only small on my forehead. It's fading slowly but 3 years later you can still see it. :grin:
