Stupid things you've done..

What's the most stupid thing you've ever done? Me? Well I'll just say this, DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TOUCH A TERRANO FAN WHEN ITS SPINNING. Even if you're curious

It hurts!!

Climbing an unsupported ladder with its feet on a wet kitchen floor.

It put me in a french hospital for two weeks.

Puts me in mind of a comment (by Badger I think)... If you are curious about the performance of your viscous fan...use a carrot, not your finger.

Or any other suitable vegetable.

I can testify to that, reminds me when at Dover Raceway couple of years back, put electric fan on my banger (we always have trouble keeping them cool) but I could not see it very well and was not sure it was running, so put my hand between engine and fan preparing for a force of air into the engine bay but I had wired it wrong (all to do with the multitude of things to do when racing) and my hand was sucked into the fan instead, two nicely cut fingers, but it was not all bad, I got to visit the nurses station and got pampered, Swifty will not allow me near fans now, Rick

thought the blade had stopped

Picture taken after it was fixed at the local plastics at Chelmsford

OOPH, was that a chop saw related "I thought it had stopped " ?

My old Elu didn't stop very quickly and nearly caught me a few times

My Metabo beasty has some serious electro trickery braking

I had a router bit explode on me once after it found an old screw in a worktop core. Bits went through my trousers and just missed the crown jewels

Bloody he'll. What's actually going on there

kitchenman · 24-08-2011, 09:13

Circular saw, fluo lighting, strobe effect, blade looked as if it had stopped, extractor fan masked sound of blade spinning, OUCH

picture is xray of top of thumb, ripped off more than cut off, anyway that how it looked, plastic bag, for bit, frozen peas to keep it cold, hospital 5 mins walk away, jump the queue, saw a doctor within 1 minute, blues & twos to plastics

The guys at the plastics hospital spent 6 hours trying to join up the plumbing

pipes too small, they could not re-establish blood supply.

Hospital was Broomfield in Chelmsford, all staff bar one were foreign, surgeons looked/sounded like Arabs, saw all the work on huge flat screen monitor, service was 5 star plus.

Had my own en-suite room, nothing was too much for them. 3 days.

I do not understand people knocking NHS, a few months before I was in Southend hospital with gastritis, brought on by gall stones, also 5 star plus, perhaps I am lucky living in Essex, either way my experience with NHS is nothing but excellent.

I agree my experience with the NHS has also been fantastic........Not been in a hospital for years

You would still be on a waiting list around here,for such a small scratch

.I hope you had good pain relief.

96terrano · 23-08-2011, 23:30

Yeah, I cut my hand in to places. It didn't make to much of a mess of my engine bay
