What’s your stupidest injury? – Can it beat these 21?
They say there are no accidents, but I didn’t deliberately shut the car door on my own head, so what do they know?
When VeryBritishProblems posed a question about stupid injuries, we were happy to discover there are lots of others out there being clumsy, too.
It wasn’t quite this guy …
But it came close a couple of times.

I got a rugby boot to the face which made my lip bleed.
It was my own rugby boot.
Which I had been holding, until I slipped & landed on my back, watching the boot arc through the air in slow motion then hit my face.
This was about 20 mins before the game started. In a corridor.— Ashles (@Ashles3000) January 27, 2023

Despite knowing it was broken, I allowed a sash window to drop at full speed onto my fingers.
I yelled to my mum for help, but not being able to reach the volume on the amp, I had to wait until the end of Mahler 5 before she heard me.
