30 People Who Should Win The Prize For Injuring Themselves In The Dumbest Ways Possible
Accidents and injuries can happen in the strangest places and the most peculiar ways. And most of us can agree that they occur most often when we least expect them. Plenty of us have hurt ourselves pretty badly doing mundane, routine, everyday tasks. While we might brag about the huge scar on our faces having come from rabid velociraptors that we fought off with only our bare fists, only our closest friends know that we really slipped on a banana peel and crashed into our fridge handle.
When the Super 70s Sports account asked Twitter users what the dumbest freak injury in their lives was, people rushed to share their experiences. As it turns out, people can be really fragile.
Scroll down to read through our list of hilarious and dumb injuries, and be sure to upvote the stories you enjoyed. If the stories made you smile or laugh, why not share them with a few buddies to improve their mood while they wait for the weekend? And if you have any experience with dumb injuries yourselves, share what happened with everybody in the comments! After all, grief (or in this case pain and shame) shared is halved. And joy shared is doubled. Be sure to scroll down for Bored Panda’s in-depth interview with Ricky Cobb, the founder of Super 70s Sports.

This is true. Despite what happened to me (see above) my dad when he was 20 fell off a roof 3 storeys up skidded off the garage roof and landed on his feet unscathed. I think back then he was part cat. I fall 3 feet out of a window and destroy my arm. : /

Went to stroke my friends dog who jumped up and gave me a black eye. Fell over by being a wuss about crossing some ice and broke my arm - husband went first and just calmly walked across but I kept testing it and being ultra careful. Lost my balance getting up off the loo and head-butted the handbasin. 🤕 Large lump and bruising that lasted for a good couple of weeks. I have so many of these - I'm an exceptionally clumsy person.

Y’know how some kids’ bikes have a chain guard to stop feet from getting caught in the chain? I got mine caught in the guard and sliced the top of my big toe down to the bone when I was about seven years old. I also got severely bruised in my girly bits trying to beam walk on a flat top picket fence. Mum brought the neighbours over to check out the bruises.

Putting Christmas decor up while standing on a folding chair. Stepped back, chair collapsed and i fell backwards, butt first through my glass and iron coffee table. The sound of the glass shattering was like a Hollywood action movie. Natural instinct cause me to turn mid flight and try to catch myself. The glass shattered and i immediately knelt to check my arms. Thankfully no severed wrists. Move on all fours to stand up and my daughter says "uh mom dont move." "Why ". I asked as i looked over my shoulder. There was a pretty good sized shard of glass sticking out. Yes, i had been deeply stabbed in the butt!! I reached around and pulled the large shard out. Blood started pouring out. My husband comes running and he yanks my pants down while im still on all floors and say im going to the ER asap. I started to look and he stops me. I dont like blood. My daughter is fasinated by all this and bends down close to the wound and says "whats that white bubbly stuff?". It was my a*s fat. We throw a down over it and head off to the hospital. Towel was soaked by the time we got there. My pants had a 1" hole but the the triangular sharrd had went so deep it took 27 stitches! At one point while getting sewn up my lovely daughter pointed out a spot i missed while shaving my leg and went on and on about how much a*s_fat she could see. Post Note: if you ever Have to be stabbed the butt is the best place. The pain was minimum but having to wear sweats to the office because i had thick padded bandages was great. Now the best part...My A*s Itched for 6 months! I would leave meetings just to go stratch and i getting really good at rubbing on desk and wall corners. And finally, since i did it the Monday before Thanksgiving that i was hosting for about 40 people they all had a good laugh.

Mine are: 1. Missed a step while running up the stairs and landed on my shin, hitting the sharp concrete edge and cutting it to the bone. Hurt like a b***h. 2. Jumped out of bed and didn't realise my leg had fallen asleep. Proceeded to fall backwards onto the desk corner and got a nasty bruise from my shoulder to my lower back. Almost broke a rib.

I injured BOTH of my ankles at once on a school trip, when I tried to carry my luggage and several bags down the stairs all at once with sunburned shoulders. Tripped and ended up kneeling on the starirs; the impact forced both of my ankles firmly onto the corner of one of the steps. It was the most impractical injury I ever had. I was able to stand on my feet (with the help of crutches) and therefore theoretically able to walk... but it was with the tiniest steps. Walking even small distances took forever.

A few things you need to know before I tell you my story. 1) I can't see 5 inches in front of my face when I have my glasses off, 2) it was in the middle of the night, 3) I'm anemic, 4) I'm female and 5) my dog was dark brown. One night, probably around 1am, I had to go to the bathroom. I didn't put my glasses on and I walked out of my room and into the hallway. It was pitch black and I didn't see my dog lying in the middle of the hallway. I tripped over her and landed sideways on my leg. A few days later there's a big bruise on my leg and I had to go to the grocery store. Did I mention that this happened in the summer. Someone from the Women's Resource Center approached me, gave me her card, and told me to call her if I needed any help.

Two come to mind. 1. The night before my 12th bday my sister had to go to the ER because a door fell on her and broke her arm. We were there until 5 am and I was asleep. Mom woke me up to go home, I took one step on the floor and ended up just faceplanting, breaking my ankle that wouldn't heal for a year. People always look at me funny when I say I broke my ankle at the hospital on my birthday, which happened to be a Monday. 2. Was on a high school band trip to Minneapolis and we got to use those coach buses. Well my phone was dying and there was a plug in against the side of the seat. Went to bend down to plug it in and bashed my head on the cupholder on the back of the seat in front of me. Ended up concussed and dizzy the entire trip, but u didn't know that so I went on a bunch of rollercoasters and then I told my mom on Monday when we got back that I didn't feel good and she took me to the doc. She was so mad. she kept yelling that I should have told somebody & I could have died 😅

I was maybe 6 and decided I was going sledding. I grabbed my little home-made wagon I created out of those old Home-Depot kid-built crafts things, climbed to the top of the tallest armchair, and slid down. It was fun for about 0.8 seconds. Then my face smashed into the glass table and my front teeth ripped through my bottom lip. Somehow, though, the table was unharmed and still survives unscathed to this day.

I got out of my shower and bent over to get my towel off the floor. The edge of my shower curtain went into my butt crack. I didn't even notice until I walked away from it. It scared me so bad, I lurched forward, slipped on the tile, smacked my head on the counter and split the skin open. I don't know what I told people as to how I got that injury, but obviously I wasn't about to tell them it was a shower curtain to the a*s.

I was using my arms to lift myself out of the pool (as a kid) slipped and broke one of my front teeth on the concrete. A few weeks later, slid into the back door face first and broke the other. But I think my coup de grace was bruising the absolute s**t out of both kneecaps in my late 30's. Got irrationally frightened going back to bed in the middle of the night from the bathroom. Decided to leap into bed to avoid the wiley boogeyman waiting for me. I leapt too short and whacked both knees on the footboard.

My oldest daughter had the strangest accidents, between the ages of 2-5, she hung herself upside down by her clothes climbing a chain link fence, needed steri strips for the cuts, threw a laundry basket down the basement stairs, but forgot to let go, got a concussion, rocked too hard in a little kids chair, flipped it, broke her nose, climbed the pole of a swing set in a public park, didn't know how to get back down, so she let go, needed surgery to reattach her broken foot to her broken ankle, didn't know how to stop on her scooter, so she deliberately ran it into a tree, had to have upper and lower lip as well as front teeth sewn back in place, I think she could probably share a bubble with the fella that says he deserves one.

Was watering the plants in the yard and when i went to coil up the hose I leaned over too far and hit the shark edge of the hanger that you put the hose on (didn't think I had bent down that far) with my forehead. Came down on it so hard that I saw stars and thought I was going to pass out. Checked in the mirror, wasn't bleeding too badly but I had just missed putting my eye out by about a 1/4 of an inch (the brow bone). Have a scar and indent for life :) That's just one of the many and I have the scars to prove it!

Years ago, whilst playing badminton, I thought that I'd do an underhanded power serve. I hit myself in the calf so hard that I ended up with a goose egg sized bruise. That bruise did not go away for weeks. And, another time, I crashed on the futon to watch television. I was wondering why my outer thigh was sticky. I was bleeding because I had somehow managed to land on my thumb, with my thumbnail piercing the skin of my thigh. I was already an adult in both cases.

This is me. I’m constantly breaking my toes. I’d say every other month I end up accidentally kicking the edge of a piece of furniture and breaking some toe. I went to the ER for a foot X-ray and the doctor asked if I KNEW about all my broken toes. He could see all the healed fractures on the X-ray. My response... Yup, I’m clumsy.

I have several dumb injuries. Sprained my ankle after jumping on gigantic gym mat. Stabbed myself in the left index finger with an exacto knife in math class. Got a black eye from my cat while retrieving her from outside, did get her in the house. Recently, broke a molar with saltwater taffy and moreso later with a tortilla chip. Had it extracted today for an implant later.

Working in an amusement park I was helping at the boats. There was a family of 4 entering the boat when the father lost his Birkenstock shoe in the water. I reacted really quickly, reached over and captured his shoe before it went down. Getting back up, I lost my reading glasses, they drowned even quicker than the shoe. The man was apologising, and I said: o don't worry, they were only 2€ glasses. He reached in his pocket and gave me a 2€ coin. In reality, I paid much more for the glasses. But hey, I rescued a Birkenstock shoe!

Fell over by being a wuss about crossing some ice and broke my arm - husband went first and just calmly walked across but I kept testing it and being ultra careful.

Putting Christmas decor up while standing on a folding chair. Stepped back, chair collapsed and i fell backwards, butt first through my glass and iron coffee table. The sound of the glass shattering was like a Hollywood action movie. Natural instinct cause me to turn mid flight and try to catch myself. The glass shattered and i immediately knelt to check my arms. Thankfully no severed wrists. Move on all fours to stand up and my daughter says "uh mom dont move." "Why ". I asked as i looked over my shoulder. There was a pretty good sized shard of glass sticking out. Yes, i had been deeply stabbed in the butt!! I reached around and pulled the large shard out. Blood started pouring out. My husband comes running and he yanks my pants down while im still on all floors and say im going to the ER asap. I started to look and he stops me. I dont like blood. My daughter is fasinated by all this and bends down close to the wound and says "whats that white bubbly stuff?". It was my a*s fat. We throw a down over it and head off to the hospital. Towel was soaked by the time we got there. My pants had a 1" hole but the the triangular sharrd had went so deep it took 27 stitches! At one point while getting sewn up my lovely daughter pointed out a spot i missed while shaving my leg and went on and on about how much a*s_fat she could see. Post Note: if you ever Have to be stabbed the butt is the best place. The pain was minimum but having to wear sweats to the office because i had thick padded bandages was great. Now the best part...My A*s Itched for 6 months! I would leave meetings just to go stratch and i getting really good at rubbing on desk and wall corners. And finally, since i did it the Monday before Thanksgiving that i was hosting for about 40 people they all had a good laugh.

I injured BOTH of my ankles at once on a school trip, when I tried to carry my luggage and several bags down the stairs all at once with sunburned shoulders. Tripped and ended up kneeling on the starirs; the impact forced both of my ankles firmly onto the corner of one of the steps. It was the most impractical injury I ever had. I was able to stand on my feet (with the help of crutches) and therefore theoretically able to walk... but it was with the tiniest steps. Walking even small distances took forever.

A few things you need to know before I tell you my story. 1) I can't see 5 inches in front of my face when I have my glasses off, 2) it was in the middle of the night, 3) I'm anemic, 4) I'm female and 5) my dog was dark brown. One night, probably around 1am, I had to go to the bathroom. I didn't put my glasses on and I walked out of my room and into the hallway. It was pitch black and I didn't see my dog lying in the middle of the hallway. I tripped over her and landed sideways on my leg. A few days later there's a big bruise on my leg and I had to go to the grocery store. Did I mention that this happened in the summer. Someone from the Women's Resource Center approached me, gave me her card, and told me to call her if I needed any help.

Two come to mind. 1. The night before my 12th bday my sister had to go to the ER because a door fell on her and broke her arm. We were there until 5 am and I was asleep. Mom woke me up to go home, I took one step on the floor and ended up just faceplanting, breaking my ankle that wouldn't heal for a year. People always look at me funny when I say I broke my ankle at the hospital on my birthday, which happened to be a Monday. 2. Was on a high school band trip to Minneapolis and we got to use those coach buses. Well my phone was dying and there was a plug in against the side of the seat. Went to bend down to plug it in and bashed my head on the cupholder on the back of the seat in front of me. Ended up concussed and dizzy the entire trip, but u didn't know that so I went on a bunch of rollercoasters and then I told my mom on Monday when we got back that I didn't feel good and she took me to the doc. She was so mad. she kept yelling that I should have told somebody & I could have died 😅

Fell out of the bed onto the edge of my dresser with my elbow while trying to turn off the lights. Ended in hospital and couldn't work for weeks. And once I was washing the dishes. A glass broke in my hand and got stuck up to the bone. Also ended in hospital.

A friend of ours who's elderly had bruises that looked like he lost a fight - he had jumped out of bed while having a particularly realistic dream.

This is me. I’m constantly breaking my toes. I’d say every other month I end up accidentally kicking the edge of a piece of furniture and breaking some toe. I went to the ER for a foot X-ray and the doctor asked if I KNEW about all my broken toes. He could see all the healed fractures on the X-ray. My response... Yup, I’m clumsy.

I have several dumb injuries. Sprained my ankle after jumping on gigantic gym mat. Stabbed myself in the left index finger with an exacto knife in math class. Got a black eye from my cat while retrieving her from outside, did get her in the house. Recently, broke a molar with saltwater taffy and moreso later with a tortilla chip. Had it extracted today for an implant later.

I broke a molar tooth eating Subway sandwich. Never worked out why that happened.

I have to say--at least after you've made sure the person in question is ok other than a bump to the head--witnessing someone knocking themselves out cold is possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Last month I was using an apple slicer, pushed down too hard, and sliced about halfway through my thumb.

My friend's friend broke her arm tripping over a soccer ball. A couple days ago I got scratched by a cat, A football player at my school was climbing something and a brick fell on his head, I tripped over my freaking euphonium when I was looking for it (pissed me off, but I was fine).

Working in an amusement park I was helping at the boats. There was a family of 4 entering the boat when the father lost his Birkenstock shoe in the water. I reacted really quickly, reached over and captured his shoe before it went down. Getting back up, I lost my reading glasses, they drowned even quicker than the shoe. The man was apologising, and I said: o don't worry, they were only 2€ glasses. He reached in his pocket and gave me a 2€ coin. In reality, I paid much more for the glasses. But hey, I rescued a Birkenstock shoe!
