240sx injury *blood warning*

[Anand]

Sweet!

I injur myself everytime I work on my car... even if it is just chaning a fuse....I don't know how.. but I always cut myself somehow

[alkemyst]

I honestly don't know, but I DO know that the brake fluid broke down the dye in the gloves and trasferred it to my hands. Not a pretty sight (at least its almost all gone now)

I had a pair of black weight lifting gloves that stained my hands....and as a kid some pumas that did the same to my socks.

so where the stitches really necessary? It looks like a band-aid fixer upper. However, sometimes muscle comes out through the wound.

Yeah thats something I did not want a mental image of. I'd think if he was using enough force to need a breaker bar, stictches were necessary.

somehow, a wrench always seems to slip, a razor blade always seems to make it way to my hand, or my hand always seems to make its way towards a sharp part on my car.

when my neighbor was changing the brakes on his van, he, for some reason, went under it, anyways the van rocked of the jack or stand or whetever and the axle crushed his head, his pregnant wife ran over to our house and my dad and 3 other guys got him out from under there, but it was too late. not even a week later his wife gave birth to their second child. sry about the sad story but i just want you guys to stay safe! be careful!

good info there d1. When jacking up a car, always shake it with your whole body pushing against it before you get under it. That way, if it falls, it doesn't happen on your head.

[jdmfreak]

Damn man that **** is rough.

[Mr1der]

it happens.

in the words of Fark though, Darwinism Surrenders...

Hey SloS13, don't feel bad man, I gashed open the palm of my hand on the same part about 3 weeks ago while I was changing my caliper. It really sucks. It happened when I tried to get the caliper off and well.........I obviously shouldn't be messing with the dust shield to get that part off. I was just glad I didn't get the corner of the freakin thing.
