RVAHC13: Worst Injuries?

RVAHC13 07.10.25	This gave my scar tissued finger nubs something to do while at the laundromat. Tell us your fun stories if you have any.
ToSmokMuzyki 07.10.25	sounds like you need to stay out of grocery stores and away from knives
Hawks 07.10.25	I've never had a single work injury. This seems like a lot lmao.
RVAHC13 07.10.25	Definitely won’t be using my $130 chefs knife to make dinner tonight lol
Storm In A Teacup 07.10.25	When i was 15 my first job was at jcpenney homestore and my first week they had put wood boards to cross the top of the back stock room shelves and a manger told a stock boy to cross it and the board broke and he fell 40 feet onto concrete and was in the hospital for two months.
RVAHC13 07.10.25	I changed it to general injuries so everyone can participate @Storm damn did the kid recover alright?
Relinquished 07.10.25	I only broke shit while fighting people, never at work cuz knowing how to perform physical therapy on yourself to fortify to avoid injury is key for longevity
arthropod 07.10.25	I could have got the technical terms wrong, apologies in advance. A blade in my lawnmower twisted (on a rotor it's screwed to, it didn't bend or anything) and I, because I don't have a screw gun and I'm an imbecile, decided to readjust it using two socket wrenches. My left hand slipped and got slit by another blade, and my right hand knuckles got scraped so I had my flesh there exposed for several weeks. Lots of fun indeed, I have a nice scar after a few months. There's also that one time when I fell out of bed as a kid (4yo I think). I hit a toy with my face and my right canine tooth punctured my upper lip.
RVAHC13 07.10.25	Aagh lawnmower accidents freak me out. My mom told me one time when I was younger I was playing in the yard while my dad was mowing the lawn and the mower kicked up a golf ball sized rock and spat it out at me. Whizzed right past my head and hit a tree behind me apparently.
RadioSuicide 07.10.25	In 31 years I have never sustained a single real injury outside of one extremely embarrassing incident that removed all feeling from my right thumb permanently and could’ve killed me had I been slightly unluckier
arthropod 07.10.25	@RVAHC13 Seems cool and scary at the same time. Though the injuries that scare me the most are the finger ones, so I'm glad I got cut only near the wrist. You know what, there was one more fun incident. I don't know how in the hell I managed to do so, but as a preschooler I ran into a spruce tree and one needle pierced my eye. Idk how I'm still seeing.
arthropod 07.10.25	@RadioSuicide that's... intriguing, but also mighty concerning. Would you like to elaborate?
budgie 07.10.25	yeesh finger injuries
budgie 07.10.25	multiple herniated discs and blood infection/pleurisy fo me
RVAHC13 07.10.25	u gotta stop thrashin so hard budgie
budgie 07.10.25	im very docile and boring these days for better or worse
RVAHC13 07.11.25	If docile and boring keeps us out of the hospital I’m all for it
Dedes 07.11.25	Damn brother 5 years in a deli and the absolute fucking WORST I ever got was like, knicking a small slice off the side of my thumb when I was cutting thick slices of pepperoni for an antipasto on the deli slicer. Tbh it felt like pins and needles but I get the energy that I have an absurdly high pain tolerance. Worst injury was when I was 14 and I was walking out in the countryside where I lived after going for like, a 6 or 7k run. An old man had his German shepherd by the leash but it went rabid and slipped from his grip. It kind of just barked in my face directly pissed for a few seconds and I kept walking, thoroughly believe that was its only intention. He then tried to latch onto me and as I propped my arms in front of my face he tore a fucking CHUNK out of my hand that exposed down to the bone. Had so much adrenaline that I felt nothing. Bolted away, starts chasing me across a field, fall cause the grass is wet with morning dew and cut my left hand deep enough to form a -small- scar, and whilst I nearly meet my demise, the surprisingly jacked 80 year old man tackles his dog to the ground. If not for that I would have been disgustingly mutilated or honestly dead. Idk the exact number but seeing as there wasn't much left that they could easily close IT it took close to like, 80 stitches lmao. Hand was casted and straight lost all mobility for a month.
Feather 07.11.25	For any young men in this chat. For the love of God, take care of your back. Stretch before and after lifting and running. Focus on form. Throwing it out sucks and once you do it once, it’s infinitely more likely to happen again and drains the joy from your life for at least a couple weeks.
Feather 07.11.25	My favorite picture of my grandfather (rip) and I is him and I on Christmas, I’m about 6 and we are both smiling and holding up a peace sign to the camera.. except his peace sign fingers are both heavily bandaged because he cut them off on Christmas Eve messing with the lawn mower.
budgie 07.11.25	god damn dedes, fuckin DOGS. my aunt died in the hospital after being attacked by a dog that fucked her arm up. i see people here in this neighborhood walking their pitbulls without a leash and it pisses me off so bad, if i had a kid in a stroller holy guacamole
budgie 07.11.25	"For any young men in this chat. For the love of God, take care of your back. yeah, most importantly: don't do manual labor/trade jobs, it's not manly, it's a fuckin trap. get a white collar job and go to the gym
RVAHC13 07.11.25	@Dedes hot damn dude how does your hand look nowadays if you don’t mind my asking? @Feather I will say for all the stupidity in my life I’ve always been very mindful of my back having worked in warehouses and more recently event staging. Sorry about your grandad’s fingers. Damn lawnmower strikes again
brickhed 07.11.25	worst one for me is early December when some asshole decided to get me in a headlock and break my foot over a game of basketball. broke 4 of the metacarpals in my foot (the tendon looking bones in your hands/feet). spent my chirstmas week getting and recovering from surgery, was in agonizing pain for many weeks popping painkillers too. easily the worst pain in my life. still going to PT after 6 months and going to get the metal plate in my foot taken out from the first surgery on the 31st. guy also never apologized, was never punished, and i haven't really seen him at all. my family wanted to press charges but i think we'll work on that when i'm somewhat back to normal after the surgery. normally im a pretty forgiving person but a line's gotta be drawn.
Valzentia 07.11.25	If scurvy counts as an injury, then that is the answer. Worst shit i've ever experienced
Dedes 07.11.25	After reading this list I've come to conclude that 1)-there's nothing more deadly than an unwieldy lawnmower 2)-damn yall get fucked up a lot 3)-people who don't leash their dogs cause "he's not like that he's a sweetie pie :)" are braindead Also @RVAHC will get pics when I'm off work tbh the scars are big but easy to miss if ur not lookin and ALSO @Valzentia I didn't even know scurvy was possible in this age when everything is vitamin fortified unless you're in a REALLY impoverished country
RVAHC13 07.11.25	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl5NIVRQ4eQ
RVAHC13 07.11.25	@brickhed that’s brutal, I hope your foot surgery goes well. I’d definitely take his ass to court too
Valzentia 07.11.25	"I didn't even know scurvy was possible in this age when everything is vitamin fortified unless you're in a REALLY impoverished country" I have liver problems and the scurvy was how I found out
FrozenFirebug 07.11.25	I slid a 275lb sleeper sofa over my head to carry it onto a truck, but lost my grip, and one end of the metal underside bashed the back of my neck, while the other fractured my left foot. I never got help for the foot, because I'm stupid, and never sought help for the neck, because ironically it alleviated a chronic cramping issue I had with it, so it doesn't strain as much/need as much popping now.
Trebor. 07.11.25	When I was 18 I got hit by a car while crossing the street in a crosswalk. Dumb ass did a left turn on a solid green and didn't look. Bumper shattered my knee and tire ran over my foot. Had knee surgery and I'm lucky I was so young because my knee is only sort of fucked. I was couchridden for a couple months and had to relearn how to walk and this is why I started posting on Sput like 10 hours a day lol
Dedes 07.11.25	Yeah that is exactly what convinces me that a license is absofuckinglutely meaningless I can't pretend like I haven't had my share of bad driving incidents but it's hard to miss a person directly on front of you unless they like, bolt out into the middle of a highway or something
RadioSuicide 07.11.25	“Would you like to elaborate?” Was packing a bong in my parent’s attic, which is pitch dark, and went to put my bowl in the stem, but it was extremely dirty with resin and wouldn’t go. Like the rational 22 y/o I was, I shoved it in. When I did that, the stem shattered and my wrist went directly into the point, and a cartoonish amount of blood started shooting everywhere. They told me I missed a major artery by a pinch and could’ve bled out pretty quick. Genuinely the dumbest injury ever. Clean your bongs, kids.
ToSmokMuzyki 07.11.25	omfg the amount of times i've nearly been hit from some dumbass on a left turn i just turn towards him/her and spread out my arms like 'u fucking see me now bitch?'
Parallels 07.11.25	When I was 18 a car cut me off while I was going forward on a street on my bicycle at a pretty good speed. Dumb ass did a right turn after speeding in front of me and slamming on the brakes. I flew over the car and hit my head and skid on my hip and got a nice wound that looks like I had a C-section lite™ out of my right side. Because there was no fog line, they tried to claim it was my fault and that I was technically a car. I was bedridden and slept almost non-stop for two weeks, only waking for food and drink and bathroom breaks, and as I started to come to, I started posting on Sput incessantly so many years ago not unlike Trebor's fucked up story.
budgie 07.11.25	jesus christmas radio
Parallels 07.11.25	sorry to steal your post format trebor but also imitation is the sincerest form of flattery soooo
Parallels 07.11.25	also im drunk soooo
Feather 07.11.25	@RVAHC Your poor fingers tell a recurring theme
DoofDoof 07.11.25	Broken collar bone - NHS said don't pin it so it's like a lifelong deformity
Dedes 07.11.25	Don't tell me you were off fighting cave bears again!!! Or was it something less epic Doof??
Chippe 07.11.25	Easily when I was 15, hit by a spinning baseball bat while playing (the most longhitting guy dropped the bat). Crushed cheekbone with a part of it sticking down in my mouth , four teeth lying on the lawn, six teeth broken off in varous degrees and my upper lip in shreads, swollen to a ridiculous size. Took me four years fixing it. If I hadn't turned around when I did I would have been hit in the back of my head... Guess I was lucky, lol
Chippe 07.11.25	Lol, forgot that I among various cuts cut my stomach wide open when I was 4, crashing headfirst through a glass door
DoofDoof 07.11.25	'Or was it something less epic Doof??' Chopped down in a pre season football friendly when the ground was baked solid during a heatwave. Tried to keep playing but heard these pop and crack noises...
RVAHC13 07.11.25	@RadioSuicide not to make light of your situation but that’s a pretty funny story. So you really do not have any feeling in that thumb? Was it a damaged nerve? @Feather my sushi master told me it was a right of passage to mutilate yourself on the job. That knife didn’t hurt as bad because it was properly sharpened. The worst cuts are from dull knives.
arthropod 07.12.25	wtf chippe
RadioSuicide 07.13.25	@RVAHC13 correct, killed the nerve there. My brain will sometimes mimic sensations when I touch things with it though, kinda cool. @Chippe I played baseball for a looooong time and I have never even heard of anything half that brutal. Loose bats are no joke
RVAHC13 07.18.25	As someone who’s take a metal bat to the head I can attest baseball is no joke
jrlikestodance 07.18.25	Got really drunk at a ska show in high school and continued to skank the majority of the show. Woke up w a purple foot and broke it in 3 places. Also been spin kicked in the face twice at different shows but that's more funny than a serious injury
RVAHC13 07.18.25	Noooo not your skankin foot!
mkmusic1995 07.18.25	Got a concussion from slipping and falling on some dried-up oil while pulling a pallet with a manual jack. That was fun.
chemicalmarriage 07.18.25	Got my feelings hurt on sput. Logged out. Then I logged back in to type and rate things my way
RVAHC13 07.19.25	@mkmusic1995 Damn that blows. I hate those manual jacks, I used to push around and ride them like Flash Gordon down the hallways in the back when nobody was watching
s0nicx 07.19.25	Worst injury I ever had was self inflicted stupidity. I was in 1st grade and decided that it was a good idea to start jumping off the steps of my bunkbed trying to land on a pillow at different distances in the room. This eventually culminated in me attempting to jump from the 4th step (the highest one) across the room to the pillow. Unsurprisingly I did not make it. In fact, I only got about halfway across the room before landing on a manual, spun around on it and landed hard. My foot and ankle were sore as hell and while I don't think i broke it, I got pretty close to it. More than likely just twisted/sprained it. Oh yeah. The manual that I landed on? Operation.
Sharenge 07.19.25	I've been pretty lucky had some stitches took some head blows tippy of finger missing slipped on ice and sliced hand open went flying off my board a bunch someone didn't liked me but all good no big deal there's always tomorrow what's next
arthropod 07.19.25	someone didn't liked my pal he was being dragged on school stairs with his head banging against the steps a cat bit me a week ago, finger impaled on both sides by the nail's base, was swollen for a few days and now I have a nice looking bloodstain under the nail
Asdfp277 07.19.25	was ran over, low speed, only broke one bone lol
RVAHC13 07.20.25	@Asdfp277 what is low speed? I feel like that would hurt worse
botb 07.20.25	Got my teeth knocked through my bottom lip to xibalba one time. Drove myself to urgent care and got stitched up like 5 mins before they closed lol.
Emim 07.20.25	I once stubbed my toe while watering my spice garden, and only cried for twenty minutes.
unclereich 07.20.25	fractured my left arm so severely that the back of left hand touched my left elbow.
budgie 07.20.25	why would u WRITE THAT
ToSmokMuzyki 07.21.25	went a bit too deep and got stuck in your mom once.... that week we were away? yea it was no glamorous rendez vous...
Flashmobba 07.21.25	got smashed in the nuts two times within 5 seconds at a soccer game, and also got a cleat right next to my eye got a huge cut on my finger which bled profusely leading me to faint and then cut right above my right eye and bled a lot more somehow, the worst one is still an infected ear
Asdfp277 07.22.25	RVAHC: It didn't hurt at all lol, thanks adrenaline + modern medicine! The IV antibiotics did hurt tho (it was a person trying to park, lost control, I was over mud. Imagine it was rural)
RVAHC13 07.22.25	Aw yeah I can picture it. Had something similar almost happen to me trying to push someones car out of the snow
Asdfp277 07.22.25	out of medical reasons i've seen grown men cry actual tears of pain from, ear infections lead the scoreboard so far
RVAHC13 07.22.25	I’d gladly chop off another fingertip before having oral surgery again. Tooth pain turns me into a big baby
Asdfp277 07.22.25	oooh yeah I forgot, tooth ache is horrendous too. I guess I don't see it too often but I've seen grown men cry over irreversible pulpitis too. Can't sleep, can't rest, can't even think
Dedes 07.22.25	Tooth pain is mega dog dick I remember as a wee teen I had 4 adult molars pulled put to make room for my braces. A singular molars took like 15 minutes to remove. Once the numbing wore off sweet goodness fuck I was choking back tears lmao
Veldin 07.22.25	My wife just broke three ribs and punctured her lung a few days ago after falling. Thankfully the puncture is “trivial” and didn’t need tubes. We were at the hospital for about 21 hours woof. My worst injury was probably when I was like 8-9 and I jumped from the top of my friends staircase to the bottom and broke my foot. I was also in a car accident (passenger in my friends car) and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt (stupid I know!) and got propelled forward and knocked unconscious. Thankfully I was pretty much ok outside of some minor injuries. Definitely gave me PTSD when driving though.
Dedes 07.22.25	Most people should have driving ptsd Swear to god it feels like half of my area is filled with people who steer with their feet or were born without eyes. Glad to hear your wife is doing relatively fine ngl that sounds like a mortifying injury
Veldin 07.22.25	Lol yeah I’m not a huge fan of driving, especially on highway during rush hour- such a stressor. Thank you! Yeah it was honestly horrifying, because after she fell and hit her chest she was gasping for air and I didn’t know how to best help her. I’m just grateful she’s doing better. We just bought our first house and our dog passed away, so there’s been so much change and then this happened.
RVAHC13 07.23.25	Hope she makes a full recovery!
Veldin 07.23.25	Thank you! :3
Asdfp277 07.23.25	Hope she makes a full recovery! [2]
arthropod 07.23.25	[3] though... all that from a fall?
Emim 07.23.25	I slipped down my back steps and felt like I was staring at the night sky perfectly parallel to the ground for about 5 sec before I landed and drove the last step right into my kidney. Bruised the hell out of it and it was unbelievably sore for like two weeks.
