I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

There seem to be an awful lot of amputation stories under this question. My grandad lost two fingers but not exactly in DIY... he worked in a factory and put his hand on a conveyor belt to see if it was still warm just as his mate switched the machine on for some kind of test. His hand happened to be under a large blade...
