Dumbest injury ever? you be the judge

[rivkat]

I just stabbed myself in the webbing between my middle and ring fingers with a meat thermometer that was in the sink to be washed.  Typing = double plus unfun, though honestly it's nowhere near as painful as I probably deserve. At least my tetanus shot is up to date?

I'm sorry you are hurt. However, I cannot award you the prize for dumbest injury.

As back up safety officer at my previous job, I had to fill out the incident report for a senior scientist who broke a finger. He was either running or quick walking down the handicapped ramp, tripped, caught the railing right where it attached to the wall, and broke his finger. No, there were no obstructions or slick spots on the ramp. The solid concrete ramp was long, so in the middle there is a short flat area to allow a person in a wheelchair to rest. He tripped over the change in angle on a ramp he'd been up and down before.
