Default Who has got the best scar?????

Thought for a laugh i would start a new thread for all of us out there who have done something stupid and ended up with a big injury.
Short story of what happened and a pic/xray etc. of the injury.

Ill get us started......

Last year in Thailand on a boys trip I dove into a swimming pool with my hands by my sides showing off. Problem was the pool was only 1m deep and this was the result.
17 stitches and 2 broken vertebrae.
All good now!!!!

OUCH!!!!! That'll make you see stars.
I have a scar on my left inner elbow. I fell off a fence when I was younger, so of like tight rope walking. The fence was installed upside down so, the bottom part of the fence with the barbs was the part I was walking on.
Well, I lost my balance and fell off. I looked at my arm really quick, didn't see anything or feel anything. I did a double take and looked at it again, and HOLY CRAP!!! I had a gash about an inch or more wide. Could see my flesh, clear as day, all white. Bleeding pretty bad after that. Get rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and sitting in the emergency room, I had to wait for the surgeon to finish up an emergency surgery on someone before he could stitch me up. (The regular ER doctor could not do it after he looked at it.)
Ended up with 20 stitches outside and 8 stitches inside. I will post a pic when I take one.

Those really deep and clean cuts a weird how initially you hardly feel it!!!
I was hoping this post would generate some interest, or at least make someone stomach turn!!!!!

I think you should focus on building that car, surely you would be safer doing that!!!!! Rap yourself in bubble rap and no powertools!!!
250 stitches that is insane, but the shot in the back, thats ridiculous!!
