Anyone else done this?

I'd just finished squats at my house, and went to get my curl bar from another room. I didn't have any shoes on and I'd forgot to put the collars on the curl bar last time I used it, so the weights were not locked on. I picked it up and moved a few feet then had to turn sideways to get around something, and the weights started coming off.

I dodged all but one, which hit my left big toe right on the joint. There goes my workout. Hurt like a bitch so I ran lukewarm water over it, then iced it and took Advil. Today, my toe has gone from black to purple, but at least I won't lose the nail. Anyone else have injuries they'd like to share? Especially ones out of stupidity like mine.

No injuries yet, but don't put 45# plate and a couple 10's on one side, and empty the other. Almost got whacked in the face.

I was doing resistance speed training with those "girly" weights (15lbs pink one to be exact). I kept punching and my hands started to get sweaty. Of course I wasnt wearing shoes, who wears shoes when they are working out? Well anyways short story even shorter, I punched too hard and the weight got loose from my hand. When I pulled it back to go back in my position it dropped out of my hand and landed right on my pinky toe. I swear I thought I was going to lose that toe, it swelled up so fucking big.

Oh and once when I was putting some weights on a bar I slid it on really fast and fucking smashed it against the other weight. It was all bleeding under the nail and turned all black and blue. It was nasty.

Yeah, my big toe has swelled up to about twice the size of my other big toe. Looks pretty weird.

Yes. . . back in high school I accidentally dropped a 35 pound plate on top of my right foot. I was lucky. . .it didn't bust up my foot, but it left a healthy bruise.
