Truly a candidate for a Darwin award.

Total loss for words. :X

[SignWave]

I am not knowing

My guess is that he made a ppe bmb. It went off in his face and that was that.... The pic was entitled "fireworks accident" Im glad that wasnt me cuz' that would REALLY suck. If he did use bird shot rather than buck shot , Maybe he should try again and try reading the side of the cartridge first....

cant even suck his dinner through a straw...

[Anti-GMAW]

I saw this a while ago. What's the story behind it? No doubt entertaining and worthy of said award. I've just always wondered what happened?

I'm geussing he was dumb enough to try birdshot instead of buckshot.

No winner

Well, there is no winner, because none of you sent in your votes
It's midnight here, though I could see by the time on my last post, the time is kind of screwy...I don't know how Miller makes that "clock"...
Which is all good, because this thread, like all others, is for teaching others about welding, safety and just to have some fun, and no one was expecting to win anything by submitting their story but sharing a laugh and teaching the young guys about the dangers of welding...(with Signwave being an exception)
Hey, at least all of us got to see what TacMig looks like, right?!!
thank you for playing along anyway...

Dave, thank you SO much!!! I wondered what TacMig looked like!!!
Being a MAJOR animal lover myself, I appreciate him taking his picture in the mirror like that
btw, yes, your niece is entered. but STILL, nobody has voted for there best!

You guys ARE cracking me up tho.......

again...3 hours left.....

My mistake, please forgive me. I thought she was just a youngster! He!! yes, sign her up. That's a dandy and the intelligence required to engage in such an act is truly worthy of serious consideration.

My apologies,

TacMig

That's why I asked. I figured she was young, as well.

[tacmig]

My mistake!

Just turned 26 last month

Oh man...

I should have my Niece sign up so she can win the prize, she did something really stupid a couple of weeks ago. She has a pit bull and it was being attacked by a neighbors pit bull in her front yard. Dumb as she is, she tried to get them apart. When she reached down to grab her dog, she slipped and her hand went into her pits mouth. She is now minus the tip of her ring finger. The enclosed picture is not for the squeamish! All others enjoy

The injury is an unfortunate 10. This also gets a "break my heart" award. This really stinks. Stupidity is not a factor as I can bet she was only trying to protect her dog. Loss for words here.

In Jan of 07 had a ladder slide back wards when I was 19ft up. Just set my tool bag of the roof(I do commercial HVAC). 4 days in the hospital. 5 hours in surgery. Broke both thumbs and messed up the left wrist (will have to be fused in the future). Have carpal tunnel now. 7.5 months of comp. Thank GOD someone was working with me that day.

On the upside I can tell you if it will rain tomorrow better then the weather man

Won't mention any others.

[tacmig]

Wait-wait-wait...

I just fund a picture of SignWave that was flooting around the internet...This should clinch his position!
