One of our guys managed to thread his pinky by screwing a nut onto it.

He's fine - albiet a little embarrassed.

...That was me. Our mentor told me that normally, he would offer me a bandaid, but screwing a nut onto one's pinky is pretty darn stupid and he wished me great and long lasting pain.

We had one of our guys weld himself to a battery by sticking two hex wrenches in the terminals. There was no need for a bandaid but he had an embarassing tattoo on his hand for a few weeks.

He is now a safety officer on the pit crew and vows never to repeat something that stupid.

umm...painful?! :|

Well I got cut with nose pliers when I was trying to pull out one of those darn terminals from the 2005 electronics panel. The cut was pretty deep, and long too...and I still have the scar on my finger. It's a pretty cool scar though lol...but that's the only injury I had. As for the team, just a couple of minor cuts here and there...nothing major.
