Worst Household accident you have ever had and what kind of injury did you get?

It sounds like you have had a painful experience and I hope you have fully recovered. We were moving house a few years back and I was on a stool in the kitchen on a wet floor trying to clean the cupboards and my hubby was kneeling below cleaning the cupboards when I felt the stool slipping, no sooner than I said timber and I was down. Luckily hubby absorbed some of the fall! I did something to my back and still had to pack, boy was I in pain for weeks. Now I am really careful on stools!

Hi,there!The worst among many was when i was on a ladder cleaning the lights in my ceiling fan in my kitchen,i was moving around not really paying attention to where i put my foot safely,i skimmed the edge of the step and fell off hitting the table with my butt,falling on the floor with the bucket of water falling on top of me.My butt was sore for a couple of days and i was lucky i never broke any ribs instead.

Okay as a small child of 9 years old my dad had refinished the basement. Of course as a young lad I had the tendancy to love jumping and or running. I ran down the basement stairs jumping as many of the steps as I could. Near the last couple of steps I jumped & hit my head on the steel beam of the ceiling. The gash required 13 stitches to close. Now as an adult... I live in Minnesota a snowy state to say the least in the winter time. You always hear stories of keeping the roof clear of snow to prevent an ice dam which can ruin a roof. So one snowy day I noticed about 2 feet of snow on the roof. Dummy me gets my ladder out. Climbed up with a broom & shovel to remove all the snow. I got about half of it done when I hit the edge of the roof falling back first onto the ground. Luckily there was a couple feet of snow on the ground which broke the fall and no injury was sustained. But I don't climb the roof anymore. Let it build up. I'll worry about damage if & when it happens. I am actually looking at buying a snow rake this fall to do the job properly. Okay I am done babbling on. HAHAHA! Thanks. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Well lets see. When my son was a few months old we moved in to a new house. There are those metal grates one the floor, vent covers. I went down the hall and came back and caught my pinky toe on it. It hurt pretty bad. I went and sat on the couch and saw I was bleeding BAD!! well I didnt have a phone, no car, and didnt know any one..So what now? I went to the house that had a car home. Just so happend that lady was a nurse and she cleaned me up. I called my mom and went to the hospital. I got 4 stiches in my Little Toe!!! Almost cut the darn thing off!!!

I fell down the last two basement steps right on the concrete floor, and very stupidly tried to break my fall with my hands. All my weight fell on them, but mainly my left wrist. I had to go to the hospital, my left wrist was broken and I was in a cast for a couple of weeks. It still is sore, especially the right side of my hand and I can only write for a short time before it hurts. My write wrist was all right, it just needed a stiffening bandage on it, but was I ever annoyed by the tellers who thought that I could easily slip from writing with my left hand to my right.

The worst household accident was getting hit on my head by the door. It was an old traditional door, that was attached to the roof, it was open that day. Actually we had to climb up using the ladder onto the first floor, i was on the ladder and someone pushed the door, it hit my head and bottles of blood oozed out. Luckily it was'nt a serious injury, it was just superficial, nothing deep and hence my brain was safe. I just tried my best to explain you how the house is constructed, its a bit difficult to make you understand as its constructed peculiarly. Its an old model house in my native place, almost a century old..LOL

My worst household accident was when I fell off from a bicycle which I stood on in the garage. I was just eight years old when it happened. I didn't know why I stood on the bicycle, it was so stupid when I thought about it later. Actually the bicycle was leaning beside a post at the garage. Maybe I was thinking of climbing the post and standing on the bicycle might be a good idea to start. Lol. What happened was as I stood on the bicycle, the bicycle moved away and I was left at the post while I was hugging it. I fell down still hugging the post. The post was not a round one, it was rectangle and you just imagine how sharp the sides were. I cut myself so deep and I could see the inner side of my skin which is white in color. I could also see part of my bones. Until now I still have the scar.

As i expected i fall with the three by three foot thinner in my ground floo home , I fell and caught by the fencing thereby causing bruises in legs and knees while throwing out a waste water to the back portion of my house... horrible.

Ouch! Poor thing. I had a household accident myself not that long ago. I was washing a glass that you drink out of, and as I reached the scrub inside the glass to wash it, the glass broke on my hand. It ripped off a piece of my hand that is above my index knuckle and I started bleeding profusely. I got so scared I didn't know whether to go to the hospital or what; but I didn't. When I woke up the next morning, I was STILL bleeding! It took forever to heal and I still have the big ole scar. :(

My worst household accident was not what happened to me but to my house. I was making a unity candle for my youngest son's wedding in 3 days...and I mistakenly set my pot of wax on a burner which I thought had been turned off but was on very low. I went to the Donut Place to have a cup of coffee and while I was gone...it exploded and caused a "flash fire" which engulfed the whole house...with those little black spider web type thingys which hung from the ceilings and everything in the house...the explosion completely melted all of the microwave and stove buttons and handles on my stove and even put black soot in my upstairs where all of the wedding garments were hung. It was a mess...and I was having a party after the grooms supper here in two days. The insurance company sent 5 women who cleaned up good enough so that people wouldn't get soot on their clothing and we had the wedding and it turned out beautifully....I made new unity candles, too. Afterwards, the cleaners, painters and insurance company...got my home back in order, replaced everything that was uncleanable. We moved out for a week and I figured that the unity candle only cost about $12,000....that was the bill for the cleanup. That was the biggest bobo that I ever did. Big, expensive lesson learned.

I had a similar incident when I was like 4 years old. My older sister( 6 years old at that time) was trying mom's high heels on and left it on the first step down the stairs. I didn't know this and as I was putting my right foot down to the first step, my foot went through one of the high heels causing me to lose balance and fell with my head first rolling down like a wheel in the marble steps down to the first floor. To my surprise, I wasn't injured or anything! I was about to cry when I saw 2 visitors staring at me in shock. I was so embarrassed and ran up the stairs to my room and hid. lol

My worst accident at home happened when I was in a hurry to answer the phone, forgot the babygate in the door way from the kitchen and living room was there, hit the tension bar that holds the gate in place with my foot. My foot hooked up under the tension bar and I flew like super woman about 6 feet across the room, landed face first and slide another 3 feet. I luckily didn't break anything but a toe. My knee and right arm had some of the worst bruising I've ever had, as well as pulled a muscle in my arm somehow. Hopefully that will be my one and only attempted flight, the first one didn't go well so I'll leave flying to the experts! :o)
