While cleaning/ sanitizing... dropped my 8 gallon SS potlid off the counter and onto my bare foot (edge first).... cracked nail in half and wouldn't stop bleeding 12 hours later... 4 stitches and a removed toenail later... (I just removed a band-aid before taking this pic... haha sorry it looks nasty)
I finished the Black IPA and still waiting for results... Better be a good one!:cross:

Bottle bomb in my hand. You know that scene from the beginning of saving private Ryan? The bomb shell loud noise, a fading in whine/ringing, then back to 'normal'. That's a real thing. Luckily just a few stitches in my hand. Could've been much worse.
Be safe and stay thirsty my friends
Its called "shell shock"...VERY scary story!
Glass could have punctured your chest!
Good lord. What were you wearing on your feet?
In honor of the tragic accident I will name my beer "The Dislocator". Now I just need to come up with a gruesome bottle label.
A couple of weeks ago I was lifting my kettle into an ice bath and my had slipped off the handle. The kettle dropped down, hit the burner, and directed 200 degree wort onto my feet. I mostly had second degree burns on both feet and a strong desire to purchase rubber boots.

Burned my hand grabbing the bottom skirt of my keggle. I had used my CFC to recirculate wort down to 80degF for 10 minutes. Even 15 minutes after flame out, that skirt was still VERY hot.
Steel toe leather work boots are your friends

A friend and I where in my basement brewing, turn'd on the water for the coil chiller and had water flow to high. I was standing in front of the floor drain and the hose from chiller when the super heated water and stem shot out of the hose, Burning my foot, knowing that I had to get my shoe off I jumps in the air trying to kick it off and ended up on my back on the floor. All this while my friend was laughing and finnaly taking pictures of me on the floor.
Gotta love brew buddy's
I've been fortunate (knock on wood) and haven't suffered any major injuries yet. However, it seems every brew day I somehow manage to cut my hand on something stainless steel. Brewing equipment is SHARP! Whether it's the threads on a compression fitting, some frayed stainless filter mesh, a sharp edge of a worm clamp or my plate chiller, or even just a "paper cut" from aluminum foil, I'm always walking away with a bandaid on a knuckle. It's annoying. Anyone else have similar experience, or is it just me?
Mink oil. Usually comes in a small cylinder near the shoe polish, sometimes with an applicator pad. It's congealed at room temp, don't be looking for something liquidy as other oils. It works marvelous. In the rain after applying it (even weeks after) water will bead up and roll off. I have some 14" tall leather boots I oiled and I can walk in a foot of water with bone dry feet. I fell in love with the stuff and haven't even thought of using a different treatment since. Also moisturizes hands well.I think I'll be getting some rubber boots next trip to the hardware store. IMO leather steel toed work boots don't keep rain out so boiling wort will be no different.
