I picked up a loaded trailer from Buchans at Accrington a few years back. It had six reinforced concrete walls on, stood up on A-frames. So I flung eight straps over it, did a last walk round to check everything was in order. I noticed the chocks for the front A-frame were a bit loose so I got my 3 foot bit of scaffy pipe (usually used for the end of a warwick) and proceeded to give them a good belt to force them under the concrete panel. Anyway I woke up about 5 minutes later laid on the floor with blood pouring from my forehead. Apparently I’d caught one of the straps with the end of the pipe on the downwards swing, it had bounced back at a rate of knots and hit me dead centre on the napper. The firstaider from Buchans couldn’t stop giggling all the time he was treating me. I’ve still got the mark now, just under my hairline.
pulled up at a shop id never been to before, got out to have a look where i was going to tip, noticed an old steel lamp-post painted bright yellow and black that id have to miss, nothing else in way, turned round and walked straight into the bloody thing!!! blood all over, went into shop to get cleaned up where the manager thought id been run over. still got the scar.
It might better for everyone if we only left our padded cells accompanied by a nurse. 
I am constantly getting my foot caught in the loops of those ton bulk bags, and sendng myself flat on my face. I’m also very good at hitting my head off the crane when I stand back up.
Last thursday I fell on my arse getting out of the cab. I was expecting tarmac but some bright spark had lifted the cover of a drain I hadn’t noticed. Very embarrassing.

Now that is something for Health & Safety. Did you complain? Simply by “accidentally” falling into it meant that it was not correctly marked etc. Did you fill in the accident book 
err… no… I was more concerned with hightailing it before anyone noticed.

You’re not the only one 
Alas I do that often as well, but I try not to whack myself too much on the head!!!

Used to work for a roofing company 20 years ago,Me to
Anyway one day we’re stripping a roof out, and we have a shoot down to the skip, so there i’am trying to un block all this rubbish stuck in the shoot could’nt budge it, along comes Pete the tiler i was labouring for , “what’s rhe hold up” he says "its blocked "i reply "get out the way i’ll shift it " and with that he hops in the top of shoot and starts to jump on the rubbish, then disappeared down the shoot, we rush down to the skip and undo the tarpaulin to get him out, the site of this short stocky bloke emerging from the a cloud of dust with flat cap still in place still amuses me to this day, and his 1st words on emerging were “i forgot to crab the sides” well i never,.
One of numerous silly things i’ve done was to lift myself into the back of a tilt using one of the cargo boards, well it broke and i returned to earth with a bump
