What have been the worst (serious or humorous) handyman or handywoman
accidents that you've experienced so far (or someone you know, or saw
it happen to, got to experience) and please elaborate on what
unfortunately went wrong.

This happened to my boss some years ago ...

Ladder up against the house; leaned over too far and ladder slid; he fell.

Then the worst part ... he landed on a picket fence and drove a picket up
through his chin and out his mouth. He survived and was back at work
in a week or two, though his face looked pretty gruesome for quite awhile.
