stupidly slammed the blade of a stanley knife into the top of my thumb yesterday whilst trying to cut the plastic on my pss-590. god, i hate cutting plastic...
some times i think it would be better melting the offending bit of plastic evil but the fumes get a little, erm, funky.
I once slipped and managed to stick a jewelers screwdriver into the fleshy part of the inside of my index finger then out the other side, straight through my middle finger and into my ring finger!
Sat there in shock staring at this screwdriver nailing my fingers together for a bit and then yanked it out, didn't even bleed, which was diasappointing

That's one hell of an impressive wound!
I'd advise never soldering whilst wearing shorts. I managed to drop my soldering iron on my knee. It smelled a lot like burnt pork and hair.
I've also stuck some wire under a fingernail, i've drilled into my finger and melted the knuckle of my thumb in another iron related accident.
It's all fun and games.
I think pictures of injuries pertaining to bending would be a bonus... not which that's the first thing you think about after you sever/skewer/burn yourself.
stabbed self with dirty craft knife while making plastic hole for button bigger. bled stupid amount for such a small neat gash. have been reading about medics in vietnam. had no plasters. superglued wound and felt superior. 10 minutes later stabbed same hand more violently and deeply with craft knife. gushed more blood. swore lots, emptied half of superglue bottle into wound. felt smug and sore. 24 hours later - toxic shock as a result of non - sterile superglue. blue black hand. cute scar now.
also stabbed self with v pointy solder tip. such a neat wound.
Spent 2 hours in A&E last night because I cut down to the bone on my left index finger. And my girlfriend thinks the soldering iron is dangerous! I refuse to take painkillers however because real men don't use painkillers. Also I don't have any and I cant put socks on to go to the shops.
Not a circuit bending accident but in school a couple of years ago I was sawing some wood vigourously and slipped, the saw went through the top of my thumb and out through the other side, cutting the top of my nail but just missing the bone.
It bled a lot and I was in great pain sat in casualty for 3 hours. They didnt even do much, just put some of those modern no-needle stitches things on there and wrapped it up so I looked ridiculous.
Done the jamming-screwdrivers-into-various-places thing a bunch of times too... The worst one of that kind of accident, was when i jammed a phillips screwdriver into my hand and it got stuck in the bone. I had to yank it out, it was that stuck.. Very, very blody and painfull.. Killed some nerves too..
Whilst stripping some rather large copper wire, i managed to slip with my stanley knife (which had a new blade in) and i managed to remove the pad off the end of my thumb. Just sliced flesh is an interesting shade of white to pink to gushing red
Luckily, the doctor sewed the pad back on for me and i know have a nice scar
