Around 11 years old or so. I wanted to make one of those soccer balls with a rubber band.
But I had no rubber band. Or a way to properly fixate anything to a ball.
So I took some nylon string for kites, tied it around a 2cm nail and stuck the nail into the valve of a soccer ball.
Tied the end of the string to myself, kicked the ball, the string made "twang", and the ball rolled off.
I was annoyed that it didn't work. So I followed the string from the end that was tied to myself.... and found out the nail was stuck a cm or so into my upper arm.
Pulled it out and it didn't really bleed much or anything. Never told my parents about this.
I was very stupid and very lucky that day
I had a similar “stupid but lucky” experience where I stuck the ends of a copper wire into the electrical socket. Thankfully I was stupid enough to use one wire and not two, or I wouldn’t be here typing this. Instead, I got severe burns on my hands for a few weeks.
Thinking about it, this and my other comment, I was a majorly stupid kid that should have not lived past my teenage years. I’ve fallen out of trees, been run over by cars (twice), had my face inches from a tractor trailer on an expressway, held at gun point while hitchhiking, caught a forest on fire and put it out with my jacket, stuck down a storm drain, accidentally made mustard gas cleaning the bathroom…
I’m either lucky, cursed, or possibly a cat. 🐱
That is quite the collection of misfortunes, wow
