ramming my foot on a rebar after a playfull nudge by a friend on a dammed area near waterfalls and trying to figure out underwater what's getting my leg stuck..and an hour on the rapids with same leg stuck between 2 hidden boulders sideways with 2 guys pulling and the other pushing as not to crack my shin waiting for the rescue team which by that time i must have drunk bout a drum of water and had risen to neck high...nice experiences though[}:)]![]()
firiebob nice furry arms
no wonder you keep on breaking pb's
those look nice angled broad reaches![]()
goto agree with elmo and king, i don't think anything can beat cobbler pain....
its so painfull you make up new swearwords.....
some ugly experiences here...quite a few walking accidents amongst us
(note to self:dont sail anywhere near elmo again.. ever
)
most of my pain memorys or accidents have been from fishing- IMO -the most extreme sport!!
-done the cobbler thing
-put a hook through the hand when i went to unhook a monster coral trout from its lure and it flapped into life.. thus impaling the hand and then having it thrash madly while hanging from the hand and the skipper struggling to remain conscious because of the blood and my mates rolling around laughing.
-snagged up some mooring lines while bream fishing around the yacht club,as i reeled in the excess line the mooring rope started to come out of the water while i was looking down at it. A split second later the line snapped sending the shot size sinker flying back at mach 2 and hitting me straight between the eyes knocking me backwards flat on my back on the jetty....once again blood everywhere and mates laughing![]()
-similar situation to the last...mate was casting a squid jig in to the water and getting a couple of touches when he got a good hit he whipped the rod back like a whip thus ripping the squid jig from the water at light speed and said jig hitting my throat as i was standing next to him...same response as the last time...me on my back on the deck clutching my throat struggling to breathe and yes......mate was laughing again.
other joyful memory's included tripping over a beach towel while climbing over a fence made of 8mm reo mesh and falling face first on to a rusty 8mm piece that was left protruding and having it penetrate the white of my eye....ouch...no 1 laughing then![]()
kidney stone (aliken to childbirth they say) they take you to hospital and give you constant doses of morphine till it's over.
having my wifes best friend live with us for the last 6 months...and not seeing a single pillow fight.
am outta line on this thread...i've been trying hard to figure what a "cobbler"is![]()
no problem to all you blokes am no ozzie![]()
cobbler - a fish with no scales and 2 poisonous barbs on either side near the gills.
when stood on causes excruciating pain.
not nice things
having a thumb slammed in a car door gets things throbbing for a while, alchol was used to dull the pain, however waking later on a beach, (during a fishing trip) in the middle of nowhere, with no panadol, water etc, just stones green ginger wine and coopers.....ahhhhghhhh that was a long night....
However, as a kid winding a finger into a boat winch (boat off the trailer, playing around in front yard) then realising the only way to get finger out is to wind it in a bit more so as to release the ratchet, with the same hand, with no one home......after that getting infection after the surgery and hospital and having to have a massive penacilin jab in the bum every day for a week......
Im dreading the cobbler, however the red hot nut up the nose can not be beaten, that is classic. Im in tears thinking about pulling it out with the long nose pliers.....
Agree Cobblers probably the worst - only times were in my teens when launching sailing dinghies a few times - after the second time learnt to wear wetsuit boots - funny that there don't seem to be as many around now days - or am I just becoming old and think things were more prolific in the "old days".![]()
10 year old - falling of a jetty while mucking around with a mate - grabbing the foot wooden railing as I fall in and scrambling with my feet to get some purchase on the verticle wave breaking wooden boards (barnacle encrusted at water level) - needless to say all my toes and the front balls of my feet were shredded - infections and pain for weeks. What a stupid thing to do ![]()
Hit from behind in the back of the head by a brick at a school camp at 13 following a testosterone induced argument with a total dropkick, knocking me out for a few minutes - result many stitches and re-occuring headaches.
Rear-ended in car collision at 21 - I was stopped at giveway sign, the other person didn't notice me stopped, he reckoned. Bad back ever since.
Rolling a car in the country and having a tool box I had behind the passenger seat gouge the back of my head - more stitches - atleast it just gouged and didn't land square ![]()
Funny how most occurred when I was a young teenager.

The worst I've seen is the result of someone getting tyre ringed when I was working away. They fill the inside of a tyre with petrol, jamm it down over the top of you, which locks your arms, then light it - I think this would be one of the worst ways to die.
Nearly threw up at the sight of this one occurring when I was about 14 - mooring a boat at Rottenst at the jetty with a strong easterly - one of the crew had hold of a rope and also the 1x19 wire sidestay - large wave = spliced finger into sidestay - flesh all mangled and squashed apart - not a pretty sight. Needless to say top half of his finger was lost - too mangled to repair.

PS: Mark's with the red hot nut up the nose is an absolute classic - can't imagine the pain of that one. Either worst luck possible or a likely winner of the Darwin awards. ![]()
Walking up stairs at Ulludulla, took a chunk of skin off the ball of my foot - bloody nail sticking out. It was a hike back to the van so my wife helped my along with my t-shirt wrapped around my foot. She put her back out and couldnt move her left arm without bad pain. It was a 2 hour drive home, but I couldnt press the clutch and she couldnt change gears. So she drove, but I changed the gears.

Picked up a piece of matal after welding it, only to find there was a hole in the glover - goodness!
Nut up the nose gets my vote tho, I'm gonna tell people about that one
My only regret about this post is that there are no pictures of the red hot nut up Mark's nose.
I know its not funny to laugh at people's misfortunes, but that has had me laughing for days ..... everytime I see the thread at the top of the list I start uncontrollable smirks and giggles.
aaaagh well, just shows the sad and sorry nature of some people ![]()

That one where you are riding your skateboard down a hill, picking up speed and either
A) you get death wobbles and crash
B) you hit a tiny, tiny pebble and crash
When you get better you can crash like this:
Not too painful compared to some others (Marks a classic, still giggling, sorry) but more stupidity.
Ran full tilt into a tree near sideline at footy practise on end of backline. Lump on forehead the size of a plum, out cold for 10 minutes.
Jumped on my board in shorebreak and at the same time a fisherman cast and his hook went into my Achilles tendon. One foot on board and foot 3 feet in air until he let the line go, that one hurt.
Toddler daughter threw a straight right into my jatz crackers, still hurts when I think about it.
Landing from a great height onto the nose of my surfboard, exploding my boardies and budgie smugglers and having to explain the big hole to the emergency department at Manly hospital while all the nurses laughed their heads off!!
8 stitches and I was too embarrassed so I got my dad to take them out a week later.
