What music related injuries have you had?
Someone dropped a piano on my toe once and it made me wonder how safe it is being in the music (or removals) business

What music related injuries have you had, like being electrocuted or poking yourself in the eye with a drumstick or blasting your ear drums out?

Love to hear the details

I've had my pride and self worth injured many times when I could tell somebody thought my music sucked.

I used to get frequent pains in my neck and shoulders from playing a Les Paul electric guitar which is a very heavy guitar to hang around your neck for extended periods of time. I have greatly reduced the amount of time I spend playing this guitar and alternate with a Gibson SG which is much lighter guitar. I also use a Fender Telecaster when necessary and that is the lightest guitar I've ever played. I've also customized the SG so that it sounds very much like a Les Paul. Using a padded guitar strap cuts down neck and shoulder pain too.

I was playing in northern Wisconsin. I rather large woman was dancing and consuming way too much of the available libations. She of course kicked off her shoes which left her in her pantyhose covered feet on a hardwood floor with excessive dance powder on the floor. Of course we where playing Wipe Out.
She fell into my mike stand and knock out a tooth on Me.

I have never played Wipe Out Since. That's a good thing.

I have had many injuries while on tour. But the worst musically related injury was when I was twelve years old I suffered a case on pneumonia. At the time I was playing Sax in a jazz band. So, instead of missing the gig we had I continued to play and wound up collapsing on stage. They told me that I had permanent scars on my lungs and that I should never play sax or trumpet again as it could kill me. Needless to say, I didn't take that advice to heart and still play both instruments in the studio but seldom live. That's because I tend to push too hard on solos live and it hurts my lungs.

Played on a rotten stage once and put my right leg through the floor up to my knee.

I DJ'd at my nieces wedding with someone else's equipment. Afterwards I helped to load up the stuff and the speakers were tall and slender and very heavy. We had used a hand truck to move them around. Got them to the back of the truck, and I turned to pick up something else and someone bumped into one of the speakers knocking it over on my foot which was on the edge of the curb. It broke two bones and when I took my shoe off later, blood came out of each side of my foot. Wound up in the hospital for a day or two.

Scaleitis. And an acute case of riffism. All guitar related.

Wish I had a dollar for every time my lips were electrocuted on a microphone. Ouch!
