Worst accidents you've had?

I’ve had some pretty gnarly accidents on my bicycle. I recently skid it out on base of the of the hill. I’m on and hit a picnic table. Bruising my arm pretty badly and broke some of my ribs. Still healing from that and it was over a month ago.

The worst accident I ever got in was when I was biking drunk through Queens from Williamsburg and face planted. I lost one of my teeth. It was a humbling experience. Don’t drive drunk kids!

What’s the worst accident you’ve ever been in?

My daughter kept leaving pieces of LEGO on the floor when she was young. I’d always find them in the dark using one of my feet.

I was in a major accident when I was 17 or 18 going to lunch with a coworker. He was driving a “International” jeep thingy with no seatbelts.

He slammed on brakes when a vehicle in front of him stopped and it caused him to veer into oncoming traffic. We were hit by a Mack truck and spun around to face the other direction.

I hit my head and dont remember but apparently I held myself from flying out the window by holding onto the door.

When I woke up I was partially hanging out the window, with our vehicle facing the other direction. Had a lot of bruises and needed ear stitched, but easily could have died in that accident if I wouldve went out the window.

I was scootering around Goa, in India, and went around a hard right turn in the tall grass fields. I couldn’t see anything around the bend and I collided with another scooter coming my way and got thrown from the vehicle I rolled on my hands like a sausage in a bun lol. I can’t believe that I didn’t get hurt at all. I didn’t even have a scratch on me

I’ve probably told this before I was hit by a fully loaded gravel truck while I was stopped waiting to turn.

A prep cook turned on an oven next to my workstation but didn’t check for a pilot light. Sucker blew as I was walking past and the door came loose and punched me halfway through the opposing wall. Broke my back and damaged my right knee, hip, elbow, and shoulder. Cracked skull, too.

I totaled a car once. I swear the light had to have been red by the time this guy came flying through the intersection, but yeah he slammed into me as I was pulling out of a gas station.

He ended up hitting mostly the rear driver’s side door, spun me out, that window exploded, couldn’t open the driver’s door afterwards.

All I got from it was a few chipped teeth, just three tiny chips missing, and some scrapes and bruises.

Oh yeah, then the incident with the circular saw a week into the foundry job in 2017 lol. Jeez, that was bad, but it could’ve been so much worse, got a few stitches instead of losing part of my finger.
