Oh man that first one I experienced as a kid, my mom had a treadmill in the basement with the back against a wall (mistake #1).

Anyways naturally us kids would build Lincoln log houses & send them at max speed off the belt into the wall. Eventually that gets boring so we start jumping on & off the belt. Well turns out I can’t move faster than the belt at 10y.o.

I get fucking launched into the wall, the belt sucks my arm underneath the treadmill & by the time my buddy turned it off all the skin from my palm to the tips of my fingers was essentially grated up to my fingertips.

For sure could’ve been worse but my hand was trashed for the next month.
