Just leaving the emergency room after cutting my arm with a box cutter wrapping a game. Anybody else have any horror stories?
(The game is fine. I checked that first. Obviously!)

Quoted from Trekkie1978:Always cut away from your limbs.
Damn, I knew I forgot something! 
Quoted from wayout440:I wouldn't count cutting a box open as a pinball injury.

Not sure how to interpret your post? I was moving a -pinball- game.
Quoted from wayout440:You guys all need to put down the tools and step back away from those machines...just sayin'
Yep, I've been saying that for 30 years working on cars and bikes.. lol
Quoted from o-din:Working on cars most of my life I've had more gashes and stitches than I can count.
Nothing like the time I was around six or seven and decided to climb a rope in the garage, and the block and tackle bent the nail it was hanging from . That heavy hook went right into my forehead on the way down. Blood everywhere.
Yeow...
Quoted from Travish:Nothing a paper towel and duct tape won't fix.
Well that's exactly what I did this morning
Quoted from Frax:I had a game that did this! I still to this day don't understand HOW, because even if I would turn it off, leave it plugged in for an hour, unplug it, leave it powered off for HOURS...that motherf. would still shock the bloody hell out of me. It got so bad that eventually I just started using a foot and a half long flathead screwdriver to ground one of the coil tabs. Think once was enough? HELL NO...that damn thing zapped me right on the cheek after being grounded out when I brushed near a coil tab working on the game. I eventually figured out that if I grounded it, waited 30 minutes, grounded it AGAIN...then, and only then, I was safe.
Still, I've never had stitches or a broken bone...from anything.
Caps retain power ... big caps retain a LOT of power!
