I wont put any part of my body under a car with only a jack supporting it, could you imagine if he had been trying to change his oil instead of a ball joint.

worst thing that happened 2 me was when i was cutting the metal for my radiator conversion with my dremel and i guess i hit a wrong angle and the cutting disc shattered and a piece shot into my arm. it burnt a little and had minor blood loss but nothing that bad.

hahaha, yea I know, I didn't plan on going under the car, or doing really anything, then I decided I'd use the impact and throw on an ew balljoint in like 5 mins. everything would have been ok if I didn't put my feet in the wheel well, it was a stupid mistake.

aside from the usual mashings and crushings of fingers, hands, arms, and knees... no. but I did slice my hand open with a box cutter while toying with my computer. even have pictures of the stitches.

yes pokin urself in teh eye hurts liek hell, but its hilarious when someone else does it!

last time I worked on a car I broke a bolt loose and the ratchet came off pushin all of my strength into a corner of metal under the car. It hit a nerve and hurt for like a week.

Plus I end up missing a lil bit of skin on my hands every time I work on a car. So many scars from that ----. I have one scar goin all the way up the top of my pinkey from when it got slashed open by a gasket!

I work on cars all day long. After about a month of hurting yourself everyday you learn how not to hurt yourself. I get scrapes everyonce in a while but not the gashes and smashed fingers that I used to get. I cut the top of my nuckle off once. I should have gotten stitches but my dad said just put a band-aid on it. It was ok. But now I have this half round scar on it. Weirdest scar I have.

worst car repair injury:
porting out my manifold and the dremel jumps out and hits me in the stomach locked on full speed...not much blood loss, but scared the sh#t out of me and major hole in a perfectly good shirt.

worst bicycle repair injury:
1. sprocket tooth punching through finger print to bone.
2. punched scredriver into the soft area at the base of the thumb to the muscle. no blood, but i did get to see exactly what my muscle looks like. my co-worked didn't appreciate it when i showed him while he was eating lunch.
