Ladders, and Gravity
The most painful experience to date was taking a fair sized spill off a ladder at work. I'd been about to run some cable over the suspended ceiling, and was walking up the ladder as you do, when the ladder decided to give way. Landed heavily on the carpet tiled, concrete floor, taking half a rack of parts bins with me. Oww. Had about 8 stitches to my head, which bled like hell as head wounds do.
The thing that really irks me, was one of the other chaps who was serving a customer while this happened, saw me fall, and then buggers off to help the customer!
All the time, I'm on the floor wheezing as I've had the breath knocked out of me, trying desperately to swear!

Anyway, one up on you lot, I have it all on video!

Yes, I know. Funny isn't it.

Fantastic! *click!*
...oh. Sorry- I meant "Oh dear. Glad you're okay".
(needs more comedy sound effects though).

Yeah...
...common reaction. Most people then go "play it again! play it again!"

Watch carefully on the video...
... at about 14seconds, you can see the large, heavy, metal cased ac to dc psu that runs the cctv cameras reach the end of it's cable. About 2ft from my head. Nice...
