Post your biggest RC blunders, mishaps, and mistakes

I never got a RC against my legg or something, but does it really hurt that hard?

Once I also saw a RC car which crashed into a shin on youtube. I think it was a Rustler doing speedruns or something. I can't find it anymore... Does somebody know which vid I mean?

My biggest mistake:
Buying nitros.

Some others:
Was filming a video of my rustler with a sw/5700 combo on 2s, . My friend was driving and he had his idiot little brother with him, I think he was 11 at the time. I was filming. Well, this was in a parking lot and there was a 4' ramp leading to a small upper parking lot, which if you hit the ramp at a good enough speed, you can fly a long 60 feet to the other side of the lot, the truck being ~4ft off the ground. Without me knowing (I was on the back side of the lot, where your car can fly to, at full throttle.) I was taking a pee, but that's not important. Anywho... he floors the rusty up the ramp and I was looking away, it takes flight, and flies 60 feet into the back of my neck. I got knocked out cold and woke up in my friends house, on his couch with my destroyed rustler sitting next to me, 3 hours later...

Driving my truggy with a 75mhz radio, glitched, and floored into me at 50mph, 12lb truck don't feel too good on your ankle!

February socal bash. Tuclai (member here) (I think?) was driving his baja 5t off a jump, and it hit me in the calf at 30mph.

Making a servo actuated on switch for my MMM, but forgetting that you can't actuate the servo if there's no power going to it...

Trying to make an e-savage durable.

Picking up a white-hot welding rod.

Yeah, It sure as hell doesn't feel good. I got hit with a rustler VXL doing 58mph when i was radaring it, It was doing 58 in front and was still accelerating... that wasn't fun.. Couldn't walk for a day or two and my foot was swollen for a decent amount of time.. This picture was two days after.

he has four feedback received. 1 of which is a negative.. 3/4= 75% positive.. His score is only 2 because a negative cancels a positive. Quite simple

Yea, I had sandles on.. The funny thing is I was lucky enough to react and lift my foot up just as it hit so it just grazed me and wasn't so bad. But you can still see what it did. The best part was my sandle went further then the rustler and all its parts.. I took the front end of that car down..
