worst accident whilst working on your golf thread

[jamie16v]

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.. 


Let the abuse begin!

Never been that stupid 
had the odd burn from exhaust or slipped off a tight nut/bolt and grazed my hand

Haha, this has got my name all over it...

Managed to slice into my leg with a Stanley knife, when trimming my rear valance

I finished the job after a couple stiches!

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..

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!
