In the past month I have managed to cut my head on my hearing protectors,
scrape my knuckle on the dust collector, and poke myself in the eye with my
safety glasses.
None of these were serious, but all of them interrupted the work--couldn't
see after the poke in the eye until my eye stopped watering, and the other
too bled just enough that I had to do something about them to keep from
bleeding all over the work.
Anybody else manage to damage themselves with their safety equipment or
should I just hang it up and check into a padded cell, where, no doubt, I'll
manage to smother myself in the padding?

Thanks. I remember now that I have not yet put a first aid kit in my
new car. Ditto for a fire extinguisher.

that's why you always keep an old figure 8 around if you had your hands
in the right doesn't mater the size of the rope. so says the climber
with 2 plates 7 screws form popping on a 5.6 - 5.7 trad climb, all the
pro in the world wont help if you don't place it, and no climb is so
easy that you don't need to bother until your 20'+ up.

I wish they'd find some other way to attach the tags and things. Those
staples are a pain to deal with. There's always two or more in just
about every board.

Most of the time I just trim the end of my finger
off with the knife during the "removing" phase.

Can't say that I have. How do you cut yourself with hearing protection.
Nearly killed myself three years ago when it turned out that my old rappel
device was too big for my new rope (next time I will check before going over
the cliff...), but that is rather different; the safety device failed to
protect me, rather than hurting me directly.

Interesting that you say that. My exciting rap was from bailing when I
found the second pitch was an unprotected 5.4 for about 50'. The guide book
didn't mention it and I wasn't willing to try it even as second.
I hurt myself 2 times in the past month with my hearing protection.... I
have large ear muff type, nice and cushy... except when you put them on in a
hurry, get the left side on and have the right slip out at full spring
tension.... The earpiece always seem to spin around and crack me in the
head... hurts like all get out..

When I do that my wife calls me a KLUTZ
LOL. This sounds like something strait out of the Three Stooges.

Dang if I know. Went to put it on, one muff slipped out of my hand and
whacked me in the head. I didn't think anything about it until I rubbed the
spot where it hit a little bit later and then put red fingerprints on the
board I was sanding (I wear the earmuffs when I'm sanding because the shop
vac attached to the sander is _loud_).

Glad you survived. Hope there was no lasting harm.
UH HUH... darn smoke stings too!!
No wonder they try to convince us smoking is bad for us...

My son and I went into Lowe's yesterday and loaded up 6 sheets of T1-11.
Noticing 2 staples sticking out of the edge of one of the sheets I promptly
pulled out my pocket knife to remove the staple as I knew that I would be
scratched by the exposed end before we got home with it.
During the extraction process the staple cut my thumb and I had to follow a
sales associate around for 10 minutes as he tried to find me a band aid.
Hum. An ounce of prevention was not worth a pound of cure.
