What's the dumbest way that you've injured yourself?

When I was 13 years old in the early summer of '91, I twisted my ankle by jumping off the front steps of our house. My brother had injured himself the same way a few years earlier, so apparently I didn't learn.

we were out in the sand pits shooting .22's at anything we could find. cans, bottles, that kind of thing. we found a bunch of bowling bells someone dumped, I took dead aim from about 30 or 40 feet away and plugged one as dead center as you can get. I saw the slug as it returned right back at me, couldn't do anything about it but I knew what was happening! Shot myself right in the chest, didn't break the skin, left a good sized welt, I kept the slug got it around here some where. Learned not to shoot bowling balls!

@GerOttman That's one way to learn.

@LordShadowfire I learned my scope was zeroed in!
