I've lit myself on fire in welding class before (actually like 3 times in 2 weeks, but that's beside the point). I guess when your hands start feeling really warm, your glove is really on fire. And when someone yells "hey dude, you're on fire", take it seriously.

Back a few years ago I was taking a string trimmer apart and decided to hold the engine in place between my feet, and turn the shaft and head by hand. The shaft came loose and whacked me in the face, giving me a black eye.

thats all I can think of for now, I'm too tired.

The following dumb things are expressed as lessons....

-Don't get shot in the back by your cloud BBmg even running at 2 bars.
-Do not hold a small caliber loud cannon filed with 1 gram of acetone peroxide., and wear earing protections.
-Do not use your mom's pillow as a back stop for marbles out of a 10 bars pneumatic, the pillow is crossed and the things behind too.
-Do not under-estimate the range of a blowgun pellet-gun. (I hit the neighbors garden house (100 meters away in almost straight shot.)
-Do not test you 16 gram CO2 adaptor at more than 16 bars. The pressure gauge may not be soldily screwed. (Got a bad purple-black bruise for ten days in the chest.)
-Do not fire whistling rockets out a short tube. (or wear earing protections...)
-Do not use a cutter to cut something towars your fingers.
-Do not shot your deodorant with your combustion pellet-gun, even if it doesn't seem powerfull enough to pierce it. Especialy in your garage.
-Do not use a slingshot attached to a tree to send a 200 grams flint. Especially when it land in your garden, braking one of the wheels of your ping pong table.
-Do not put a target over a chair and shoot it. Or take some glue with you :?


Here are the dumb things i did, as well as shooting a friend with some hot glue stick; shooting my brother in the ass with my airsoft AEG (he stole mine when i was having a shower, and shot me 20 rounds in the tibia as i got back upstairs...a 1,3 joules M4A1...)
well, the good point in making such stupid things, is that you do it only once!!!! :fart:

Don't ever go welding without gloves....

Did a bit of MMA welding for about an hour without gloves and Ive got sunburn all down the right side of my right hand.

Also never forget that you've charged up your pneumatic even if you've removed the barrel.

I managed to forget about it, pulled the trigger and got a 160psi air blast indoors about a foot from my ear.

I hate having my hearing replaced by a ringing sound even temporarily.

I got metal gear solid 3 as a pre owned game, and two of the disks had a tiny bit of that powery toothpaste residue on it. I always wondered how it got there and now I know!!
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

I just did somthing amazingly stupid a week ago. (never trust your friends with mobile phones and large bore air cannons)
Me and a friend were running out of things to shoot from a 50mm barrel. So he was like "lets shoot your phone, and you catch it".
I agreed, as i had a couple of beers in me, but i said 10 psi max. He was like "OK".
I stood about 3 metres back, He was aiming it sort of on a 70 degree angle, about a second after i hear the gun fire i see a black flash fly towards the concrete. He used 80 psi! FREEKON BASTERD!.
so now my phone is in singapore or some shite getting fixed.
