I broke both ankles ON a trampoline rather than falling off it
snapped in 3 places
on a shut down at sutton bridge power station, a steeple jack fell through the grating on the stack 130ft on to a hand rail, i was inside the exhaust doing an inspection and the noise echoed right through
I saw what I "thought" was a bin bag being thrown in the air, turned out to be a young lad who'd been hit by a car as it was speeding the wrong way down a dual carriageway as I was travelling in the correct direction.
Blocking the traffic, telling people what to do, basically taking control, that's the easy part: sat in the middle of the road holding his hand telling him that everything is going to be fine whilst your shoes are covered in his "grey matter" and knowing that he has minutes left, that stays with you.

OUCH!
Thankfully nothing that bad, but this one guy I used to work with was a little accident prone. The amount of false ceilings he brought down with him when he kept falling off his step ladders.
I dropped a drill when i was standing on staging in fazakerly Hospital. I tried to catch it and it drilled through my palm. Because i was ''employed'' by the hospital they couldn't sort it and i was sent to Walton hospital
We used to stick pins in seats, so when fellow workmates sat down they'd sit on the pin. It went on for weeks, and people would throw their drink in the air when they sat, it never got boring.
I set one up for my mate and my boss came in and sat on it. He went ballistic.
Just before I was 18 I cut my finger off opening a tin of Heinz Winter Golden Vegetable soup...luckily managed to save it at APH...never eaten the stuff since. I used to work in a cafe and took the tips off my fingers a couple of times cleaning the meat machine, slashed my fingers/hands washing up when glass had smashed in the sink, cutting string when I was 6 and had the knife facing towards me, cut through the string (wrapped around the blade) and stabbed myself in the head...cue one hysterical mother when she saw me with blood pouring down my face :0)
Oooooo I went away to camp with church when I was about 10 and we were playing this game, there were 4 groups of people and you had to get the other groups flag pole, we had this flag pole and were running down a hill with it but the girl in front (I think her name was Lisa) was going too fast and let go, she went flying down the hill and snapped her leg in half halfway down her shin bone, her leg was ripped open and she was just sat there picking the leaves out!!!

not witnessed but turned up after wards and thought better get a pic of that so here goes
This happened on one of the boats I was on when we were on a "long trip."
One of my messmates, Griff, was duty cook, took the plate carrier to the galley. While he was away someone took the hatch cover off to get down in the engineer's store, Griff came back from the galley with a stack of plated dinners in the carrier, swung through the bulkhead hatch and straight down the engineer's store hatch (about 12 ft drop) and ended up at the bottom with a broken collar bone. The skipper wanted the cox'n to put the "displaced" collar bone back in but he refused and we had to leave our area and get Griff picked up and taken ashore to a military hospital. We had been at sea for about a month, without washing and the nurses and staff didn't want to go near him but fixed him up eventually. It was a good job the cox'n stuck by his guns. The same boat actually claimed 3 sailors' lives during its lifetime so it was regarded as a bit of a jinx.
someone in r office when im going work exp managed to get there whole arm stuck in the massive photocopier and had to get fire men in to help her get unstuck was so funny.
