FIRST Injuries

[joesmomh00haha]

Gonnosyphilitis (gonorrhea,syphilis,senioritis)

[Kat Kononov]

.... i agree with senioritis...but it's not associated with FIRST. i burnt my finger with a solder and it hurt a lot.

Two broken fingers on left hand; thanks to a mentor as well (No hard feelings though, it was an accident).

About two minutes after this picture I had my hands on the upper part of the lower arm holding it, and the mentor was holding the end up high and let go without warning; It swung down very fast and pinched the fingers on my left hand which broke one finger and hairline fractured another. It healed pretty quickly though and I'm broken fingers plenty of times so I'm not really upset with that mentor (plus he's a great guy).

And as for your injury; care to explain how you got gohneria, syphilis and senioritis on your hand?

This should be renamed the ode to Tytus thread

last year i burn my hands with the solder 5 times in one day

I don't have a picture, but i was cutting a piece of 80/20 and it kicked back and split my nail and the end of my finger. Now i know why to use a back board for cutting small things.

this wasnt for me but a kid droped a 5 feet long two inch wide steel pole on a mentors head from about 4 feet. he yelled ow! the loudest id ever heard any one. and yes he said Ow!

I have countless burns from welding. Sometimes, if you're lucky, it just sears off all the nerve endings and you can't really feel the burn. AND you get what i like to call "insta-callus" it melts the skin and makes a real nice callus. AND you can sometimes (if it's a real good burn (meaning almost any idiot should know not to touch there)) you can see the skin on the piece of metal. Then you can say you left a piece of yourself on the robot! Ahhhhh the joys o' welding. But I love it.

In 2002--which, for all you whippersnappers, was when there was a giant stack of storage containers on the top of a large HDPE ramp--I took a flying ninja leap at the stack and brought all 25 crashing down upon me. Got a couple nasty bruises.

I've done more damage to tools than gotten it from them, however. I've broken hammers and more than a few gamepieces. FIRST fears me

ooh, ive done that, it hurts so much!!!! remember, use a soldering iron stand!

to contribute to the thread, one time a mentor drilled her finger, i don't think all the way through but she went to the hospital

A few times solder globs landing on the skin left little marks. Our team has a good reccord for not getting hurt, worst thing thats ever happened is one guy broke his foot running into the wall when playing Buns up during dinner.

PICTURES ONLY PLEASE.

Watch, I'll show an example.

Our gear boxes hurt more than yours.
