I tried scouring the forums to see if I could find a topic about this before I made it and I couldn't. Then again, it IS kinda hard to find specific threads and what have you.
The primary reason for making this is because, despite the person explaining the story not thinking it, others might find it somewhat humorous to see what dumb things other people have done that caused them to get hurt (hopefully not seriously, however).
The dumbest thing I ever did was when I was probably 13 or 14. It wasn't anything major, but one could argue that all common sense had left my brain due to what I did.
I lived near some train tracks and I had some friends over and we decided we would lay down some coins to get flattened on the tracks. Well, before we could really get in the process of doing so, there was a train headed our way and I was like, "HEY! Let's throw rocks at the cars as they pass just for the hell out of it." Here's where common sense was not present: The train was coming from the direction that we were facing and I somehow thought it was a good idea to throw rocks at an oncoming train. It never occurred to me that one JUST might fly back and hit one of us, especially myself.
Well, as you've probably already gathered if you've read this far, one did just that. The timing was just perfect for this type of situation. I threw the rock and it went into the gap where the cars are connected and BAM, it flew back and clocked me right in the forehead.
The lights temporarily went out as I fell to the ground grabbing at my head screaming. My vision returns shortly afterwards and I begin looking around hoping to see my friends coming to my aid. HAH. What I see are small images of bodies in the distance moving away from me rather quickly. Some friends, huh?
I finally manage to make it home and look in the mirror and notice the hair over my forehead is no longer laying flat, but instead sticking out about half an inch to an inch. I looked like a baby unicorn that was getting ready to sprout its horn. Trying to hide it from my dad was not exactly fun, but I won't get too much into that. It was mainly sentences containing the words "dumbass", "stupid", etc.
After that incident, I never really did anything dumb enough to cause any injury. Lesson learned, y'know?
What about the rest of you?
Edit: I forgot about something I did when I was even younger. Probably just as dumb as what I mentioned above.
After getting out of a truck that we had been driving in for about two hours, I decided I wanted to find out how hot the exhaust pipe was. I don't even remember touching it. From what my dad tells me, he saw me touch it and collapse immediately.
All I remember is waking up with gauze on my hand. :|
