[QUOTE=FunkMetalBass]I was once slapping and popping so agressively, that I snapped my g-string (the one on the bass, not the one I was wearing). Not only did it make my fingers bleed, but it also whiplashed up and cut me right under my eye and a little across the cheek.[/QUOTE]

that happend to me once to, once i was checking the wiring on my amp because it was crackeling and it was still plugged in......i got shocked so bad that my hand went numb for a few minutes

Oh well, it's been bumped, might as welll make the most of it.

[QUOTE=Criss Frantic]At the local battle of the bands last year, I was up the front going nuts for a friend's band (after my band had played, so i was pumped up), i was pogo-ing and jumping around, then the bass player decided to come right up to the edge of the stage and start swinging his bass up and down. You can guess what happened....I jumped up, the bass swung down, and my eye felt the cold hard fury of the pointy bit of a MM S.U.B headstock. Cut through my eyelid, bled like a bastard all over the floor, and man was my head ringing! Luckily it was a nice clean split so I didn't need stitches. They're still trying to get my blood of the floor of the hall :cool:

I've electricuted myself more times than I can count. This one time (I'm in the school band) we were playing at a basketball game and the other team were taking free throws and it was a really close game. So I stood up and started smashed the metal chair I was sitting on into the ground. I did it for about a minute and when I finally let go I couldn't feel the right side of my body. Apparently, I was electricuting myself the entire time, but was too worked up in the game to realize it.

Other than that, nothing to major.

Once i jumped and hit myself in the head with my headstock.

Another time, rather more comically, i was jamming with a couple of friends in the attic in my garage. There's *** loads of boxes up there full of construction equipment (my dad owns a quarry). Anyway, i sat on a box, thinking it was full. It wasn't.
