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.
