Knuckles,
Hope you heal fast...

Mishaps:

A classic -catching my chin with the bar during a push-press..a nice gash, sore jaw and stars.

Even better? - changing the plates after a heavy deadlift - bent over, then standing up only to catch the back of my head on a power-rack pin...buckled my knees, blood, gash.

Topper? Home-made lat pulldown machine at age 18. Took a bar and bent it - drilled a hole in the middle, ran an I-bolt through it, attached a wire, ran it through a pulley in the ceiling to the floor with rigged up weights.
Doing pulldowns behind the neck - wire snapped - yanked the bolt smack dab through the top of my head...nothing like a good head wound.

I have a few keg tossing stories I'll save for another time!

Jerry
