Your Worst Injury
Mine was knocking over a pint of PVC glue with a 2" sweep off the extension ladder step and having it splash upward and into both of my eyes. Obviously I was in a hurry and hadn't closed the bottle before attaching the 2 pieces of conduit. I was rushed to the hospital and went on disability for a month and it really hurt to open my eyes for about 3 days.

I'll just say, a bottle of clear liquor, a really fast four wheeler, and a parked 18 wheeler don't mix   .

Broken back when that giant mousetrap snapped just as I was getting the cheese. It pushed the knives in my back right out through my chest. 
Seriously..... broken ankle in a motorcycle accident. Left my teethmarks in the trunk of a car.

I've had a few. Torn rotatator cuff, severed bicep tendon and the like pulling wire. I once was teaching a robot and was reaching down to pick up a piece of metal that had fallen and severely cut my hand because I did not have gloves on. Of course it was the companies fault. tsk,tsk. I am a good union man but I know when I am wrong. I was FIXED and nothing was said.

My worst injury was jamming my impact gun with a phillips bit into my thumb [while it was going], when i was pressing WAYY too hard on the screw trying to get it to start. That was some substantial pain. took forever [4 months or so] to heal.
