Quite a few are just funny with no serious injury involved (although one or two are pretty nasty).

Here's a funny one; the other day I was using a grinder up on an a frame ladder and it caught something and flew out of my hands and went flying around on the floor (it was locked on) for a little bit till it shut off when the lock on disengaged. I only got a little scrape from a chunk of wheel that hit me, I had gloves on and had my hard hat w/ shield on, that stopped me from taking a hit to the face so safety does pay off.
