    I dropped a hyspan beam on my foot (barefoot) just as I was knocking off from work one day.

    Was made worse by the fact that it was my birthday and was supposed to meet my mates at the pub.

    Happened to me but I lost a nail. I have this stupid reflex of putting my foot under anything that drops near me.

    i dropped an engine block on my foot at work, tore through the leather on my steel toes. I ended up cutting my leg open, but my toes r just fine.

    I'm in Australia, and we dont use lb's.
    I converted 37.5kg (the weight of the dumbbell here) to lbs, and it was 82.6lbs. I don't know what type of dumbbells you guys have in the States

    I dropped my keys into a box by the front door (in the dark) i bent down quickly to grab them out of the bottom of the box and stabbed myself hard in the eye, really deep in the socket. There was a dumbell bar sticking up.
    Does that count? It hurt

    It about 8 yrs ago, I was in the gym. I just got done with my last set of incline d-bell presses. I wasn't too coordinated after that last set and when I went adjust the bench to flat, it slammed down on my right thumb, split it wide open and blood squirted two feet away on the floor... Good thing I was done for the day anyway...That frigging hurt!

    What the hell? Was it a bare block or full of internal?? Hardly out of a car was it?

    I dropped a 75 pound dumbbell on my finger. I had to go to doctors on duty at 8am and i was out for about 3 months. It split open my finger and lost the nail.
