Stupid ways to get injured Part 1 - Walking the Dog

[HawkeyeMS]

There I was, happily walking one of my dogs last night, minding my own business and totally oblivious to the cat under a bush about 10 yards away.

Unfortunately for me, my dog wasn't so oblivious to the cat and made a sudden lunge towards it. To make matters worse, my dog is a 47kg Bernese Mountain Dog and let me tell you, if one of those changes direction without warning there isn't much you can do about it.

The net result is the index finger on my right hand has doubled in size and is a nice bruised colour. I'm fairly sure it isn't broken and don't have any plans to play golf at the weekend but my range session tonight is out of the window.

I guess I should count myself lucky it isn't as bad as it could have been but frustrating none the less.

What is the most stupid way you've been injured?

I sneezed and headbutted the steering wheel of my car.

Surprisingly so, it's a little known fact it's known locally as the himalayas of Surrey

Broke a rib leaning over the back seat of a 4x4 in the Moroccan desert trying to reach a camera in the boot when it hit a bump.

Put my back out getting out of bed, I knew I was getting old that day!

I played Leatherhead and Wentworth in that area and remember tying ropes to each other as we went round - nothing to do with the golf, you have to get your fun where you can!

Missed opportunity.
You should have had the lead attached to your knob you knob

Is that when you ask the doctor for something to take away the pain and leave the swelling?

Stretching while sat on the bog one morning! did my back in, and still gives me jip now 18 months later!

 

[Imurg]

Tripped off the front door step. Shattered my ankle to the point where it was being held on to my leg by tendons, ligaments, muscle and skin.

Severely sprained the other one and couldn't play for almost a year!

Lame excuse - no legs didn't stop Douglas Bader! and he played off single figures with no legs

[Imurg]

Exactly. No legs therefore they didn,t hurt!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Stood behind my manager at work once helping him with a problem with his PC and he suddenly rolled his chair backwards while sitting on it and managed to run over and break my big toe

 

[Matty]

Lifted my golf clubs out of the back seat of me car and pulled a muscle in my neck! (Still played the round though)

Un-usually, I am stumped for a reply!

Hurt my wrist cutting cheese

It still hurts on the follow through, and it was about 3 months ago.

As a 16 y/o apprentice I was stood behind my boss holding the voltmeter while he was testing a control panel, he gets an electric shock and his arm instinctively flys backwards, the elbow connecting with the bridge of my nose - 3 stitches required

I hurt my back carrying the cat to the vets which is just around the corner. Funny thing was they said the cat was over-weight and needed to go on a diet! My poor back could have told them that!

Done my wrist in several times, most recent was shaking a T-bag before putting it in the mug

Normally takes 3-4 days to recover.
