Marine related injuries

[Nos4r2]

I nearly ruptured myself laughing at Doggypaddle falling off his boat into 6 inches of water in Mylor.


I felt a bit guilty after though as the next day he found out he'd broken his wrist.

Mrs PD got a fishing hook in her thumb once in France. The hook entered through the pad & the point was behind the nail. Hospital job

Whilst winching a big heavy boat higher up it's trailer, the pawl failed and the winch handle wound back and cracked my watch into a hundred pieces. The pain in my wrist was so intense, I nearly feinted. Hurt for weeks aftterwards.

I geddit now! The Chief BS had said something recently that I didn't undestand

Was regluing the hypalon to the hull on my RIB, using an angle grinder to remove the old glue from the aluminum. Holding the hypalon down with one hand and maniplulating the grinder with the other. Didn't take into account the rotational friction, and as I made contact, the wheel ran right across the top of my free hand. Inspected the damage (painful, but not severe), changed from holding the hypalon with fingers to thumb, and did the same damn thing again, across my palm. Would have been really pi$$ed (and in pain) bu I was laughing too hard at my stupidity. Hard to explain how I angle ground both sides of my hand.
