The lucky ba*****d.
Some years ago, my then new girlfriend came to visit the site I was working on. Approaching the trench edge without looking, I stood on the head of a pickeaxe. Strangely, a pickaxe-handle turns out to be almose exactly the same length as my inside-leg measurement, and the consequences left me unable to walk for two days, and put a crimp in the early days of our relationship.
Luckily, the effects were not permanent, as my son would be relieved to know...
