Just for a bit of fun, as an offshoot from the "should I go caving" thread,
What's your worst (or most comical) non-caving, caving injury?
I'm thinking pre-trip, post-trip, in the club hut, in the pub, in the garage sorting kit, whatever you like, so long as there is a vague connection to caving.
My worst injury was a badly twisted ankle as I got back to the car. I survived the trip, I survived an hours walk off the fell in the dark, but trod in a pothole on the road, less than 100 yards from the car. :-[
Other classics have been taking the top of my finger off while cutting the insulting tape I was using to mark rope lengths and putting my head through a tube light bulb while dancing on the table at Bull Pot Farm (before it became so civilised).
I've also torn my hands to shreds on furniture staples while playing sofa rugby...
So what about everyone else?
