Oh my fucking side.
So long story short I tripped over the planter by the shed on Saturday and the trajectory took me into the side of the ramp leading up to the shed doors. But it's okay! My ribs broke my fall. So now it's Wednesday and my right side is still sore as shit but now it only hurts to cough, stand up, sit down, pick something up, put something down, and get into bed; as opposed to laugh, cough, stand up, sit down, pick something up, put something down, and get in bed. It's really not as bad as it was on Sunday but it's still an uncomfortable hassle. So what's my therapy? Alternating ice packs and heat pads, some delightful novacaineish adhesive pads, and this. My improvement has increased dramatically since I've been able to laugh through the pain at people getting spectacularly hurt, or rather stuntmen getting spectacularly hurt. My top 3 accident scenes:
3. Guy on a cherry picker trying to unhook a cable from a winch hook, the location of which is about two and a half feet away from where he raised the basket. Yet WHILE ON A CHERRY PICKER he insists on trying to lean over and snag the rope which is clearly out of his reach. Naturally he falls out of the basket, yet the designers of this stunt aren't happy with him falling 40 feet to a concrete floor. No, he has to...shit, just watch it.
2. Guy working on a table saw and some guy runs up behind him and yells HEY DUMMY! Hey dummy, indeed.
NUMBER ONE BEST ACCIDENT SCENE: Guy cleaning off of his work station just as some lady walks in. Lady gets a face full of compressed air and metal shavings. OOF
Honorable mentions:
The guy replacing a flourescent light fixture drops off one of the rods when someone is walking by and he clearly yells out (direct quote): "UM...WATCH OUT!" Like there was a moment of hesitation where this guy wasn't sure if he should say anything.
The retards at YouTube who flagged this video because they thought it was real people getting hurt for real in this. No, really.
