No scar collection is complete until you've accidentally shot yourself with a nail gun. Which interestingly enough, barely hurts at all. Pulling the nail back out however.......

lol (i mean that sucks) Anyway i have had a dart throwen in my leg, i would imagine that would be much the same sorta feeling as a nail gun..

I cut my left index finger of (well almost off, its re attached now) across the knuckle with a knife when i was a kid (knives aren't swards kids) but no razor injuries as of yet.. and I'm planning on keeping it that way hehe

Although if we are comparing "non" razor related scars, i think my g\f would win this one. she has a 24" (give or take) scar from under her navel to around her back and ends just below her neck from a spinal fusion...

I can't match your GF's scar, though I did run a panel saw through my left thumb down through the nail when I was a kid. That kinda smarted. I still have that saw, too. I do have a scar under my chin from where I was hit by the spinning handle on a clothes line (Hills Hoist) when I was a kid as well. That one knowced my out cold, apparently.

I have done this too! LOL. When i used to build fences i was standing on the back side of a fence post and holding up one of the rails while using a framing nailer to afix it to the post. The nail missed the post an went through the 2"x4" and right into my stomach. Thank god the 2"x4" slowed it down or it might have been really nasty. I think my IQ was running in the 60's or something that day. Since then i have altered my technique when playing with nail guns.

I just added to the collection. just sliced my thumb clean from one side to the other just testing a new scale install for tightness. it was too tight and I was working it and ran the edge across my thumb. still bleeding as I type one handed... ouch!!!!!

While the part about not feeling it is true.. the MOST common theme is simply not paying attention.. I was just as bad too.. Distractions, pay attention, heh that's one of the main warning on straight shaving. But sometimes we get complacent and like the cobra handler can spend years with out a single bite, but just ONCE he blinks wrong, and POW.. the snakes gets one in. Just gotta be careful and pay attention and you won't get too many.

Don't be skeered... like EVERYTHING guys do there is SOME amount of danger. Had a Navy buddy who I went fly fishing with and some how the git managed to hook himself in the beans (we were fly fishing for northern pike so the streamer hooks were PRETTY big).. Needless to say when I got him to Medical and they asked how it happened, he had the most embarrassed look on his face and I just took one and said I didn't see him behind me. Just make sure when you are near those Blood hoses down the side of your neck to pay VERY close attention.. I don't even breath when i run a pass there.

Oouch! I've got my self with an electric stapler before but never a nailer. yikes!

The best (true) story I can manage is from my Dad. He was a carpet layer. One day he was out fixing masonite sheet to a concrete floor preping it to lay some vinyl when his concentration lapsed and he "fixed" his thumb to the floor with the masonry staple gun he was using. Being now somewhat limited in his range movement he called out to the owner (the lady of the house) so she could pass him simething to get the staple out of the concrete floor and free himself. She came into the room, saw the spreading blood stain on the floor around his hand and fainted. Dad had to wait till she came to so he could ask her to pass him a screwdriver.
