i used to work in a glass factory seen some nasty things but nobody died .seen a lad get stabbed in the stomach with a shard of glass ,another lad lost an eye pulling out rubber bungs with a pair of plyers .a driver jumped from his wagon on to a celler cover with a glass a frame resting on it ,all the glass fell and squashed him ,but again walking wounded .and the worst one was a mate called lee who was a drummer in a band but almost lost his thumb after being squashed by about a ton of glass .right stopping there i am traumatised lol

I broke both ankles ON a trampoline rather than falling off it snapped in 3 places

on a shut down at sutton bridge power station, a steeple jack fell through the grating on the stack 130ft on to a hand rail, i was inside the exhaust doing an inspection and the noise echoed right through

I saw what I "thought" was a bin bag being thrown in the air, turned out to be a young lad who'd been hit by a car as it was speeding the wrong way down a dual carriageway as I was travelling in the correct direction.

Blocking the traffic, telling people what to do, basically taking control, that's the easy part: sat in the middle of the road holding his hand telling him that everything is going to be fine whilst your shoes are covered in his "grey matter" and knowing that he has minutes left, that stays with you.

pretty tragic that

OUCH!

Thankfully nothing that bad, but this one guy I used to work with was a little accident prone. The amount of false ceilings he brought down with him when he kept falling off his step ladders.

I dropped a drill when i was standing on staging in fazakerly Hospital. I tried to catch it and it drilled through my palm. Because i was ''employed'' by the hospital they couldn't sort it and i was sent to Walton hospital

We used to stick pins in seats, so when fellow workmates sat down they'd sit on the pin. It went on for weeks, and people would throw their drink in the air when they sat, it never got boring.
I set one up for my mate and my boss came in and sat on it. He went ballistic.
