31 Accidental Injuries That Left One Heck of a Mark

‘FIND HER EYE! FIND HER EYE!’
31 Accidental Injuries That Left One Heck of a Mark

The old adage famously advises against bringing a gun to a knife fight, but Redditor bluekemuri24 learned there’s yet another thing that should stay far away from blade-based duels: young children’s fingers. While fighting over a knife with their cousin in their childhood kitchen, the then 5-year-old only realized their spat had taken a turn for the gory after they were suddenly drenched in blood

“The one thing I vividly remember is the color red all over my hands, on the floor, on my clothes, and this screeching sound of pain and agony coming from my cousin,” they recalled. “Turns out, I had cut two of my cousin’s fingers off by accident.”

Medical professionals were able to reattach the once-severed fingers, but they couldn’t erase the memory of this gruesome accidental injury — nor the traumatic experiences of fellow Redditors. Their wildest stories include basketball mishaps, drills through hands and missing eyeballs.

 e 12y ago 330 lbs and playing football with some friends. In the middle of playing though I tackled someone head on right into their chest area. Well unfortunately someone got him from behind at his legs causing him to hit the ground very quickly, making all the force from my tackle go right into neck/shoulder area.

Someone rushed him to the hospital and we continued playing. 20 or 30 minutes later I tackled someone

 12y ago Do you remember those detachable swinging monkey bars that used to be on backyard swing sets? They were the ones in the U shape. Anyway, when I was like 5 or 6 at an after school daycare, I detached it and started swinging it around on this hill. There was another girl about my age who was coming towards me while pushing another, smaller child in a wagon, so she was face down. I essentially gave her an uppercut to the eye with a metal bar. Blood started gushing out everywhere, and the babysitter came over and
corylew 12y ago Aw I wish I got to this one earlier. Hope this doesn't get buried... In 7th grade we were drilling holes in wood during shop class because that's what you do in shop class. I was partnered up with this new Indian kid who didn't speak English very well. Не offered to hold the wood while I drilled it on the drill press. At the time, this sounded like a fun team building activity, only he had his hand squeezing underneath the wood as I was drilling. I drilled through the wood, and right into his ring

taekwondo4ever 12y ago Ten years ago when I first started taekwondo, I kicked out a kids' two front teeth. We were in sparring class and he wasn't wearing a mouth guard. I launched a tornado kick and got him right in the mouth. My foot got infected and I was in the hospital for a week. Had surgery, and then had a pick line to my heart for the rest of the month. The kid got one tooth capped and the other glued back in. - 14 ...

 12y ago I used to have one of the basketball hoops with the base you fill with water. Me and my brother used to empty it so we could have one of use grab the rim and the other jump on the base so we would go flying up. A neighbor visited and we tried it on her son a few times, but then got the idea to have us both do it while he grabbed the rim. Не basically flipped in the air and landed flat on our concrete driveway. Не fractured his skull and was unconscious for
ChirpChirp247 12y ago Edited 12y ago Backed an off-road style golf cart at 30 MPH into a tree, while my now once removed step brother was sitting on the back seats, that face outward behind the cart. Не went flying off the back and rolled into another tree, breaking his arm and pulling a rather extreme amount of skin off of his arm. Bro gets up and just says damn, I hate it when this happens. Then with a cringed face, just casually walks back to the cart. I didn't know what to say. I thought he was dead on
supadupa82 12y ago When I was young, my dad bought me a chemistry set. I never really cared for it, until the day all the neighborhood kids got into a water fight. It was suspected that the local weirdo kid was peeing in the balloons and throwing them as us. My prepubescent brain came up with the idea to put that chemistry set to good use. Now, I will say in my defense, I remember carefully reading each label to look for anything scary (severe burns may result, etc..) and not using those. But never gave a thought to how
bluekemuri24 . 12y ago . Edited 12y ago I was fighting over a knife with my cousin in the kitchen when I was around 5 yrs old. I don't really remember why we were fighting over it, or how we got the knife in our hands, but the one thing I vividly remember is the color red all over my hands, on the floor, on my clothes, and this screeching sound of pain and agony coming from my cousin.

 12y ago Newlywed couple. Taking a shower together. I bend over to pick up the soap. I couldn't see, I had water running in my face, and my husband thrusts up against my face. I tried biting him playfully on the leg. Не was not thrusting his leg at me. Не ended up with a huge bruise on the top of his member. I felt really bad and apologized a lot, not that it helped much. Took a few days before he could use it again. 730 ... straydog1980 12y ago If you mistook THAT for a leg, you're
Drake02 12y ago I was 14 at this girls house. She was around 13. Her father was really into golf, so we were out in his yard hitting plastic golf balls. I swung and hit one and on the back swing I nailed her little brother. I turned around in horror at the large gash on his forehead. I thought her father was going to kill me. They took him to the hospital and now he is forced to bear a Harry Potter scar. I felt so shitty. - 193 ...

MostlyBullshit 12y ago I went snow tubing a couple years ago in the mountains, and at the bottom of the slope you have to drag your tube across the other tracks to get back in line. When I was going down the hill, I saw a kid just standing in my track next to his tube with his back to me. I was going way too fast to stop so I ended up crashing in to him sending him flying. I felt so bad, I messed up that kid real bad. His mother kept yelling at him, too, for being
