Worst Audio Injury !!

Anyone ever get physically injured because of your stereo? I was installing interconnects a couple years back and stood up quickly and hit my head on the corner of one of the shelves.I got a half inch gash on my forehead that seemed to bleed forever.When I switched from digital to vinyl I was used to the easy storage of CD's.I had my LP"s on the floor and one day went to bend down to get a LP out of the crate and tripped and hit my knee on the cornerof the crate.My knee still isnt right.And you?

I burned my thumb on a hot valve in a tube amp last week.

Have hit my head multiple times trying to get up from behind the equipment rack (the sharp edge of a fireplace mantle is right there).

Haven't (badly) hurt my back yet but it's probably just a matter of time with 130-pound stereo speakers, a 110-pound solid-state amp (with dangerously sharp heatsinks), and subwoofers that are well over a hundred pounds each. I guess the trick is to never move anything. :-)
