No real harm done, but when I was a little kid I got a ball bearing stuck up my nose and had to go to hospital to get it removed.
One of those times when you're with a bunch of your mates and bored stiff. Then some clever dick says something like...." I bet if you push a ball bearing up one nostril it'll come out the other".

Other moments of shear genius which resulted in a trip to the docs included....

"I bet you can't cycle with your hands on the opposite handlebars"
"I bet you can't jump from one tree to another, like Tarzan"
"I bet you can't take your canoe down the waterfall" (about 2oft drop and at 45 degrees)
Playing cowboys and indians - cowboys got GAT guns, indians used long bracken spears

Bored with my subbuteo as a kid...Got the big flat battery from one of the floodlights (World Cup Edition) !!
Found some wire and some flash bulbs from an polaroid camera..
Anyway the flashbulb went off while i was holding it in my fingers...Felt like the heat of the sun ....
Spent the afternoon with my fingers wrapped in a load of cold wet toilet paper to ease the pain.
Lasted all afternoon...never told parents..

Me & a mate 'helping' my granddad dig the allotment we started pissing around with garden forks I chucked it into the ground only for go straight through my boot between my toes & missing my foot completely, my mate was laughing & twirling his around his head but somehow got it wrong & smacked himself under the eye with it, my granddad being full of compassion said "you want to get that looked at son" then cuffed me up the ear for laughing at my mate & being a dick

Justice on me for laughing at my mate a few days later we were helping unload a waggon load of used timber to make one of the older guys a pigeon loft I managed to stand on the only nail in all that wood, it went straight through my foot, after the normal tetanus injection & limping back from the hospital I got a cuff round the ear for being a dick

Painting the stairs not long ago I had the steps leaning up over the highest bit to reach, thinking its on that ledge a good quarter inch it will be fine ......... Nope! ..........Bloody cheap steps must have bowed a little as I put my weight on them so top to bottom I went

At least I didn't get a cuff round the ear that time although I surely deserved it

Using a nail gun to tack some moulding to a cupboard I shot a nail through the tip of my finger & was shocked so much I accidently pulled the trigger a second time & did it again didn't hurt until I tried to get the buggers out

Caught my thumb nail with a cross cut saw & ripped it off that hurt like hell but I was lucky not to lose the end of my thumb

One that happened to Bev, the stables at our last place blew down in very strong winds, Ian Robbo kindly helped with the clear up, we were burning all the wood that was no good, as the paddock was muddy we made a walkway with waste wood, Bev put a piece the wrong way round 6” nails pointing up, Bev went to throw some wood on the fire & stood on the nail, straight through her foot & out the top of her welly, she fell over close to the fire shouting “ow my foot, ahh I’m burning” eldest daughter & me could do nowt for laughing.
