Yah, I have quite a few Neodymium magnets from experiments i've done... the biggest I have is 2"x2" circular one like that.... and when I got them in(5 years ago) I had them sitting 3 feet apart on the table and I picked one up got a little too close to one and it pulled my hand right to another one, and BAM, I've got 2 fingers in between them, #$*#&@$*(@#&$**(!!! You can probably guess what I yelled out, yelling, and swearing... lol Took two other ppl and two giant screw drivers to get my fingers out, soo strong. It felt like they were going to fall off, literally!

Anyways those hold, IIRC, 350lbs... so my fingers had 350lbs of pressure on them.

That thing must be a half ton magnet, at least...

That's where I got my magnets from too, I recognize the picture.

You think that hurts? Try jamming a hot soldering iron under your finger nail. Or ripping a toenail off with the rotating head of a vacuum cleaner.

And yes, those have happened to me. Lots of expletives were said...

"expletives" LOL Good way to put it.

Yeah, I can beat that hands DOWN.

Grade 7, swinging in doorway, not watching, friends closed door on me 5 fingers, hinge side, door locked, expletives, expletives, "open the 'expletives' door", kicking door while fingers locked in, expletives... about 1 minute later (seemed like eternity) finally opened door, pulled hand out, 4 of the five fingers had the nails ripped from the back and peeled like a banana right off. My pinky didn't even get hurt, too small!

Get this, no broken bones, these are thick oak doors! Put 4 finger dents in the door!

Since we are on hand injuries... I once stuff a flat blade screwdriver through the center of my right palm till the handle touched my palm and about 4" of the bade was sticking out the other side of my hand. I was taking drum brake springs off an old lincoln. I did not scream or curse, just gazed in awe of what I had done. My dad had to pull the screwdriver out, I just could not do it. No stitches, just paper towels and masking tape and back to work!

I'm sure the adrenaline kept him from feeling anything. It's better off that way. Trust me. The worst thing that's happened to me is a dislocated shoulder- then again 6 months later- AND again about 8 months after that. Same shoulder each time.

Oh- running a close second is that time I dropped a weed wacker on my big toe, engine side first. Lost my toe nail a week later. It grew back though.

My Brother did the same to me with a dart - He didn't wait for me to get mine from the board before throwing his - Same kind of thing through my palm and and bulged out the other side of hand. No stitches etc

Also had hand trapped inside a volvo door lock - Only I was 6 and it was my birthday party - Everyone else ran inside and started the party and I was stuck in the driveway with my hand in the lock. Only took them 10mins to realize!

Don't have anything that bad, the closest I have to any of those is. about 1 month before summer vacation years ago (i was in 5th grade) was mesing around with an old close line pole that had an open end on both ends, I was trying to get a mason jar to stick on one end and pump water from the garden hose from the other hole, the jar kept popping off, so I decided to just sit it in the hole and give it a nice good palm thrust (the kind youd push somebody with you know?) any ways the jar broke a shard off glass shot straight back into second to last finger on my right hand, could see straight to the bone, went to the hospital got 4 stitchs, then had to go to surgery for it ended up with 25 stitchs and almost losing the use of the finger since it cut 75% of one tendon and 90% of the other, now I have scar that run from the under side of my knuckle to the first digit and also the same distance to the center of my palm, finger locks into place from time to time and feels weird when I apply pressure and then flex the finger.

I've never done anything to my hands, but I did cut my leg open on a umbrella. I spent the night at my Grandparents house and in the morning I went to Lowe's with my grandpa. When we got there I was getting out of the car when my right leg hit a hand held umbrella that was in the back pocket of the seat. It made a huge gash in my leg, but it didn't hurt, It just scared the crap out of me. We got back into the car and went to urgent care and I got 12 stiches. Then almost 3 weeks later we went back to urgent care and I got the stiches taken out. After the stiches were out it started to open up again, so the Dr. put a hole bunch of butterfly stiches on it to close it back up. Stupid Umbrella

i fell backwards off my mountain bike while doing wheelies on a recently paved (very high traction) road and hit head first. it split my head open, i was unconscious for about 10 seconds, and my entire shirt had soaked with blood as if you had jumped into a pool and blood was dripping off the bottom of the shirt. i staggered home dizzily and grabbed a wash cloth and put pressure on my head until the bleeding stopped. i just took it easy for a few days. i was too light-headed to do much.

now, the spot that i hit on the back of my head is a bald spot the size of a US quarter.


just though i would keep the thread going in the wrong direction


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
