Ouch!A friend was once given a biopsy by a sleep-deprived junior doctor.
They needed a sample of his colon, so inserted the long bendy jaws-on-the-end thingy, located the suspect area and... he shot through the ceiling. Doctor had forgotten to administer any anaesthetic.
What was your ouchiest moment?

I've got a couple of brake testers...... specifically for testing guillotines and hydraulic presses. There's a sensor consisting of a motor, a spring like a tape measure and a bit of string which attaches to the chassis of the press and the actual moving part, and another actuator consisting of a motor and a shutter that breaks the beam. The idea is that you press a button and it waits for a moment then breaks the beam, and times how long it takes the blade to stop.
I don't actually test guillotines, I just picked these up when a calibration workshop was having a clearout and decided that they had too many nice 7-segment LED displays and counter chips to waste.
