I once sat on a pair of rogue scissors and got one of the points shoved pretty deep into my asscheek...

AHHHHHHH

Was it really shocking?

I was more shocked I was dumb enough to manage to do that... Luckily for me I've got a pretty absurd pain tolerance, but admitting what happened to my husband to get assistance was... embarrassing, to say the least.

I've been really careful as I've gotten older, but when I was little I tried prying a glued down glass object off of a another object. Needless to say it shattered all over and cut my hand up pretty badly. Other than that, I've been lucky! Just a few instances of needle pokes.

Looking INTO a tube of superglue while squeezing it, curiously wondering if it was entirely dried out or not. It was not XD It promptly exploded, sending superglue everywhere, all over my hands and face, not only fusing my fingers together, but it ALSO shot upwards into my eye, fusing my eyelid shut and getting superglue into my eye. And nose. AND MOUTH.

The glue didn't stick to my eye since the eye is moist, but it sort of formed crystal shards IN MY EYE/under my lid and scratched the surface of my retina, damaging my vision for a while til it healed. That prompted a very fun trip to the emergency room at 10pm XD aaaaaand was very embarrassing to explain to the doctor on call >_>;

Not nearly as bad as a "cut myself horribly" or "burned myself with hot glue gun" type injury (both of which I have done to myself too, I am super clumsy) but the superglue incident was both insult AND injury since it was embarrassing (WHY THE HELL DID I LOOK INTO A TUBE OF GLUE), painful when the doc and nurses pulled my fingers/eyelid apart, and damaged my eyesight for a while XD

I am an idiot and my boyfriend has never let me live that one down. And it was like 10 years ago LOL XD

Hope your hand makes a full and swift recovery! :D

OMG that's the worst thing I've ever heard >.<

It is a hilarious story now and we laugh about it, but at the time OH MAN XD

My mom was actually pissed at me at the time and refused to take me to the ER because I was an idiot, according to her XD

My boyfriend's mother once mistook the superglue bottle for a bottle of eyedrops. She's fine now, but she also had to take a visit to the ER. You're not alone! XD

I dripped glue out of my crazy industrial hot glue gun onto my thigh(was wearing shorts)
Gave myself a nasty 2nd degree burn.

I've also kicked an X-acto by accident, broke the tip of the blade off in my toe.

Oh and I have accidentally glued my fingers together(didn't know my super glue had leaked on me) and peeled the skin off my index finger trying to separate them.

I've done that with a glue gun but it was old and the temperature was out of control, peeled the glue off and off came a bunch of skin.

I sliced my finger with a razorblade I was using to cut a plastic eye. I sliced right to the bone, not through because the bone stopped the blade D:

I was cutting a piece of foam when the blade slid and sliced a nice gash in my left palm... ER had to glue the 1.5" long, 0.25" deep cut back together and put some stitches to make sure it doesn't open again... and with the nice "luck" I have, it managed to get infected =_=

I have two and I don't know which one is worse.

2 years ago I was cutting the glue off of some resin and stabbed an x-acto knife right through my hand. I screamed and didn't do anything because I was too stunned. All I did was clean it and put a band-aid on because I'm deathly afraid of hospitals.

5 years ago, when I started building my second head, I used to keep my hot glue gun on the back of my chair. I backed up into it once and got hot glue all down my arm. The hair still hasn't grown back.

Oh my god needles frighten me so much as it is, your injury jus scared the crap out of me lol.

Working on a cosplay several years ago, I was cutting some fabric as I was sitting cross-legged on the floor and when I decided to uncross my legs, the scissors went right into my knee between my knee cap. I could see bone. ;_; Now I got a nasty scar and since it's such a high movement area, the stitches left a scar as well. I call it a memory mark, lol.

Very bad resin rash from continued exposure. ;A;

Always practice safety when working with epoxy resin!!

Seems I don't learn that there is a easier way to wift hair then using my fingers and burning them.

I used a scrap of foam to pinch and twist the weft.

Ty I was hoping you had a suggestion

Sewed over my fingertips with a sewing machine.

Nightmare fuel!!!

I was working on painting the eyes of my fursuit on my bed and i rested my left arm out, not realising my hot glue gun was over there
I rested my arm on it and screamed like a banshee
the broad side of the nozel was against my forearm ;A;

I now have a permanent scar on my arm shaped like a awkward triangle

Dripped a glob of hot glue on my wrist and it essentially burned a deep crater in my skin. It eventually healed and scarred but it looks like there's a moat or trench is around the area haha

My man stuck his finger in the soldering iron once, which was set to 700F.

I have yet to suffer and horrific injuries on the job other than the usual hot glue burns or stupidly trying to catch a falling boxcutter barehanded, but I burn myself plenty. But that usually involves cooking instead XD

I don't have a good story, the worst that happened to me was I cut the webbing of skin between the index finger and thumb once when I was cutting string and it was basically just a big papercut. I've also set my hand down on top of a hot glue gun tip before and that wasn't pleasant, but it only left a small burn thankfully because it was on really low heat.

But I did hear a terrifying story of someone who used to hold pins in their mouth while they were sewing, and once accidentally swallowed one. She thought she swallowed it at least, so she went to the doctor and found out she actually inhaled it instead and it was stuck in her lung and she had to have surgery to get it removed, and if she had come in later, she may have died.

Stuck an Exacto knife in my leg thru my jeans while cutting on a stubborn piece of craft material.
Solder burn on my hand in the flesh between my forefinger and thumb about a month ago while fixing the wiring for Shaemus' muzzle fan. It's still healing. That was the second time I've gotten a solder burn. By the way, solder is about twice as hot as hot glue.

i jumped off my bed once while i was sewing and a needle had fallen on the floor, one of the bigger sized ones, it went halfway into my foot and i had to yank it out.
wasn't too bad, but that sensation will stick with me for a while.

Aside from the standard needle pokes...
My worst was when I was working on my first fursuit head. I was sitting cross-legged on the floor, glueing foam together, and wearing boxer shorts. I dropped a glob of hot glue onto my calf and my stupid immediate reaction was to wipe it off, which left me with a burn on both my leg and my hand. Thankfully only the one on my leg left a scar.

well, I have one where an exacto blade slipped and went halfway through the tip of my finger. I got very woozy, dizzy, etc... I think I struck a nerve.

also I accidentally burned my sister with a hot glue gun because she decided to touch it while it was still hot :{

Burned both hands in one hot glue accident. the burns to my pinky were 3rd degree. burned through my nail and down to the bone on the last knuckle

Omg I'm wincing reading every one of these so far.

The worst thing I've ever done wasn't a fursuit - related crafting injury. I was in a sculpture class and we were carving plaster blocks. Mine was really thin on one side but still big (super heavy). It fell and crushed my hand when I was trying to move it. Nothing broke, but it was still really sore and weak for a while. :P

sliced my thumb and forefinger open, all because my mom was saying i was cutting the wrong way -was using an exacto- and should be cutting away from self, rolled eyes and cut away from myself.. sliced my fingers open. I will only cut towards myself now since I have better control over it thanks to be a lefty XD

I forgot i accidentally knocked my bowl of needles and pins over the previous nightand was too tired to pick them up. So i sat down and started working on my cosplay. listening tousic caused me to move my feetand for aome reason i didnt notice the needles stabbing almost all the way into my feet until i stood up and that caused a fun emergency trip to the hospital 8D there was.one pin that was completely shoved into the side of my left foot x.x people in the next room thought i was dying with all the screaming omfg

I just have a couple of 'could have been worse' incidents.

I plugged in my glue gun (one of the cheap small pink glue guns from WalMart) and it exploded and caused the power to go out in the house. The only light was a stream of flames coming from the glue gun. Lol. Luckily I was barely holding the handle when it happened and didn't get burnt. Now I make sure I'm not holding the glue gun when I plug it in (same with hair straighteners, my friend plugged his in while holding it and it exploded, burning his hand).

Another time I was holding a block of foam in my hand and carving it with an electric carving knife. I have a bad habit of cutting toward myself and have had a lot of close calls. This day I ended up cutting right into my palm. Luckily I stopped before it did any real damage, but it did give me a gash across my palm.

Hmm...I Don't Suppose HotGlueing Ones Leg To The Floor Counts As An Injury?...It Dids Smart...;<

Lol, how much of your leg?

Not a crafting injury, but i burned the skin right off my knuckle one time when it accidentally touched a 450 degree oven... It hurt for like a week

Sorry to hear about your hand :/
Hmmm the worst I have done is glued my hand to a table with epoxy , I was working on an airplane model , and I have pinched and stabbed myself with jewelry pliers, usually in the hands but never enough to deeply wound myself. I have a fear of getting metal shards in my eyes when I make earrings. When I finish making an earring I cut off the extra metal with my pliers and it sends a small piece of metal flying, and I can just see that bouncing and stabbing me somehow, so I try to aim down but I have still hit myself in the face with it before X3. Not quite an accident luckily.

there was one time, i was cutting something, plastic or cardstock or something, to make a wall of a building in think it was, with a brand new number 11 exacto blade.

so anyway one of my fingers was too close to my steel rule is was cutting against.

and i noticed there were these little drops of blood on it. and it took me a few seconds, quite a few actully, but figure out where it was coming from.
you know, because it was so sharp i didn't feel it, and i was so concentrating on what i was doing that i didn't notice.

but then i saw this purfect little disc of skin.
and then i realized what it was and i picked it up and put it back in place to stop the bleeding. well i rinsed both parts of me off first. or i think i did.
any way i kind of stuck it back on and put a bandaid to hold it in place and in a couple of days it had grown back together, but i didn't get the alignment purfect.
so the finger print on that one finger is a little different then what my prints were that were taken when i was born.

even still i can look at that finger and see where there's this circle in which the print pattern is rotated a little bit.

i've had one or two other minor injuries fixing stuff, but that's the only one i can think of from when i was making anything.

there's one scar on my right hand, from a stuck sliding door, and the handle broke off jagged and slashed open by the knuckle, that took about a week to heal completely.
acc'd a bandaid in place to hold the two sides together on that one.

over the lots of years, there's been minor scrapes and burns. really nothing threatening any of them.
slivers, bug bites, black berry thorns, all that sort of thing. loosing a nail from crushing a finger in a door. that hurt. regrew. no bones broken.

Yikes girl! Ughhh i hate neeedles! My mate doesn't let me around pointy or sharp things anymore, i think i've stabbed or cut myself with everything in the house .
