Okay...I've got two

Senior year of high school...working on the bot, making some lightning holes...using one of those rather large industrial type drills, with a second level cantelieved off the side of the thing so you can hold onto it more firmly....the bit gets caught and I don't let go...nearly rips my right arm off. for the next week i could barely move my arm

last year, our head engineer was working on our arm, and was intriqued by something getting stuck. middle of a decent snow storm, decides that he wants to check "one more thing" before everyone leaves for the night. He tells coll to operate the extension on the arm, and two seconds later he flies off the chair he's standing on and hits the floor. apparently he didn't read the rules of don't put appendages in slots where extensions move, making a makeshift guillitine....severed his thumb almost completely off.....was able to get it sewn back on...and luckily has feeling in most of it...very close call.
