I stuck my finger in a fan...

next time, get a super giant fan, spining at the same speed, or faster, and try to jump THROUGH it! It'll be a sure fire way to be eligible in the darwin awards!
 
I stuck my finger in a regular fan, you know like 12 inch and it was pretty bad. There was a layer of skin that came off, strangeky there is no scar, my bro scared me and told me I was gonna need stitches, wasnt that bad. This was an accident, I thought it was going to fall and I grabbed it, it fell and my finger was in it, it was one of the older ones with the wider bars, I was scared to use fans for like the rest of the summer. 🙁
 
Last year my landlord stuck his hand under a running lawnmower.

It was the most disgusting sound I have ever heard in my entire life. I'll never forget it.
 
I've been electricuted 4 TIMES!!! The last time (a couple years ago), I was changing out a truck battery with a wrench, and the wrench hit the two terminals at the same time. The next thing I remember is waking up on the ground a couple feet from where I was standing. There was an arch weld on the wrench where my hand was, but I was fine.
 
Years ago I was sleeping and rolled over on my side and my hand somehow went right into an old table fan that was on the desk next to the bed. It was the worst way to wake up. The fan was the old kind that had metal blades and not plastic. DAMN did it hurt!!!!! :Q
 
Learning by trying, wonderful concept until you get a car......or gun.........or knives........or (insert things you shouldnt lick, put fingers into,eat,put on fire,throw around,blow up,put into bath when youre in it with alot of water, etc etc etc)
 
Whilst drunk i pissed from a bridge, not realizing that there were train tracks(electric power) going under the bridge.

I was very lucky that my piss missed the high voltage wires
 


<< you guys must all have wussy fingers. I've poked many fingers into high speed fans and never gotten more than an annoying buzz.... q]
Yeah, me too. I've accidentally stuck my fingers into several fans ranging from old slot 1 heatsink fans over a VolcanoII to the 7000rpm fan on a DragonOrb, just to mention the 60mm ones, and never been hurt, just got a buzz, especially with the 7000rpm fan!
I guess I've got very good reflexes because I usually move my hand before getting hit by a fan blade, or at leat hit twice.
 
A month ago my brother and I were screwing around and he tripped me and my foot went the other way and I heard a "CRACK!" I couldn't even move it and I was in a lot of pain. I go to the doctor the next day and I tore a ligament and tore a couple tendons. :Q He said it was just going to take awhile to heal. I still can feal it and I can't fully use it, I can't run either. 😱 My brother is going to pay!!!!!!!!!! 😀
 
When I was ~13, I stuck my hand in a running snowblower. The bones in my thumb literally shattered. It looks funny now, and it's hard to open jars and stuff. Some of the bone fragments never healed.
