Have you ever wondered how silly some people can be? Here are some holiday accidents I found:
1) Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cracker pulling accidents.
2) Three people die each year testing if a 9 volt battery works on their tongue.
3) Five people were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalextric cars.
4) Eight people cracked their skull in 1997 after falling asleep while throwing up into the toilet.
5) Eighteen people had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.
6) Nineteen people have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.
7) Thirty one people have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.
8) Fifty eight people are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.
(Incidentally, in Birmingham they don't even use proper screwdrivers. Instead they get out the 'Birmingham Screwdriver', otherwise known as a hammer.)
9) One hundred and one people since 1997 have had to have broken parts of plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
10) One hundred and forty two people were injured in 1998 by not removing all pins from new shirts.
11) Five hundred and forty three people were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
What is the silliest injury you've had in your house hold?

That really makes me wonder about the human race sometimes lol!
I can totally understand the one about having plastic toy parts taken out of your foot! I don't know HOW many I've stepped on and was surprised I didn't have to have them surgically removed :)
#8 is just inexcusable! Butter knives, people...butter knives!! LOL
#9 seriously, I think we have way too many toys for our children!
Some of these are just so sad!
