My head made contact with the corner of my open Forester tailgate today :shake:

I haven't seen so much blood since my cannula came out in hospital last month (but that's another story).

If it hasn't happened to you yet, be warned!

Yea, it's a real headache on my '99. Certainly a piss-poor design.

Nasty.

Bet you don't do it again!

 

[joey_turbo]

I do it nearly every time I'm working on the car. As im a slaphead, I've taken to wearing a hat for a bit of protection.

 

[Pindie]

Get a helmet to keep your head safe too.

 

[Guest]

Yikes. Head and scalp wounds bleed a lot, certainly a surprise when you cut your head for the first time and there's blood everywhere.

 

[Scc28]

+1 for that, its even worse when they are lowered you can fully "connect" with the tailgate!

 

[MiloX]

Keep it quiet, you do not want EU to have all of us wear car helmets!

Hehe, i smashed my head in the roof, when getting out of the front seat once. Stood up to early. I almost fainted. That was comic

By the way, my "you won't do that again" comment was borne out of experience. Not sure that came across having re-read what I wrote.

I clonked my noggin in a RHS car park. Not sure the average punter had heard language like it before, certainly not on a day out to look at well kept gardens!! :lol:

Try slamming a car door on small childs fingers

I feel your pain


PS No child was hurt in this (well not much)

Many years ago when I was running my own gardening business I was asked to maintain a garden for a friends parents. Was warned that the up-and-over garage door didn't fully open. I must have walked into that garage 50+ times with no problems. But on the 51st, I forgot, smacked my head against the bottom edge of the door and ended up on my back. Didn't do it again

Must try this, sounds fun :banana:
Am only joking, in case theres any child protection people reading the forum

My finger nail is still blood shot after shutting it in the Audi's door 5 weeks ago!, I tell you, they're heavy buggers as well.

 

[Fleetwood]

Dam that hurts!

I really feel for you as I did this last year whilst taking rubbish to the dump.
Loads of blood... and the recycling centre guys gave me this weird gel type plaster thing which made it look even worse as it was transparent!

 

[ratboy01]

best was a bullet ricochet, tiny scrape but lots of panaking [ no i cant spell lol] as it pled like mad.

Funnily enough this happened at a shooting range ...

I had a first aid kit and people to patch me up but my hair is still cloggedwith petroleum jelly - not a fashionable look!

 

[ratboy01]

There shouldn't be any ricochets if the range is designed properly :icon_eek:

If it was someone mucking about I hope they were thrown out.

this was the reason the mating at the back [stops small bits of metal and air gun pellets coming back] got replaced.
