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 keep weight belts in prominent easily accessible and easily seen places, so I don't lose track of them and have no excuse for not using one...when looking to move any gear over 50-60lbs or so.

Have a friend who was electrocuted to the tune of 120VAC into the temple, due to an open AC connection.

He was experimenting with AC motors for his turntable.
Something along the lines of him thinking (flash thought/reaction) about possible damage to his Kiseki Cartridge (!) ...as he went down.... ( Mein Leben! - Wolfenstein)

He is a known audio manufacturer and it’s his story, so I can’t give a name....

As for the LP12 Valhalla board, yeah, mine has got me more than a few times...
