Last year with 247 we had a pair of non work related injuries.

Chris-
At the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Chris was unwillingly put up for a crowd surf to a less than mediocre house band. Well.. he ran out of people to hold him up and two girls broke his fall at about stomach to shoulder level. He ended up landing on his neck, nearly breaking it. After security said "Have him sit out a few songs and take a breather" our mentor called an ambulence.
Chris had severe hemoraging in his neck and lost all vital signs twice during the night.
He's fine now though. If it hasn't been said enough already, his family and he thanks the FIRST community for their support after the incident.

Trevor aka T-Funk-
Trevor was an excited kid. While he cheered our bot on during the first round of eliminations he jumped up, came down, and well.. didn't jump right back up again. He tore his ACL cheering for us.


On the job injuries?
Well for me twice I had a piece of our robot that is actuated by pnumatics hit me. once on top of the head, the other time it cut my neck right next to my throat. Scary stuff.
