As a busy bartender recovering from a morning of mixing mimosas, Jake was
washing fluted champagne glasses with a suction-mounted brush in a sink.
After repeated plunges into the sudsy water, the glass stem base broke off in
Jake's hand. It slid across his index finger, peeling away the skin. It took eight
stitches to close the wound, but he still likes drinking and making mimosas.

When he was 4 or 5 years old, Dallas was playing in the sprinkler on
a hot and sunny day. He climbed a nearby fig tree, grabbing some
giant leaves to take them into the sprinkler. An unexpected reaction
with the sun, water, fig leaf oils and his skin left Dallas with what
looks like a chemical burn scar.

A neighbor's dog was once again harassing Jerry's cat on the porch
at 1 a.m. Frustrated, he ran outside – barefoot – and chased the
dog across the lawn. At full speed, Jerry's toe came in contact with
the sprinkler head, slicing open his toe down to the bone.

Thrown through the back window in a car accident, Bruce landed
about 75 feet away and broke his leg. The police officer at the
scene told him if he'd flown any farther, he would have needed a
"stewardess" with him. The scar is from surgery. They put a 15-inch
metal rod in his femur to hold it together.

His son gashed the top of his big toe on a mystery object on the bottom of
the local swimming hole. The emergency room nurse cringed at the deep
wound, and the doctor couldn't identify its odd color. The city tried and
failed to find the cause of the injury. To this day, it's still a mystery.
All that's left of the object is his son's scar story.

the pipe. It took away several layers of skin – and his freckles.

the spots on his skin that still have no feeling. Looking for a happy ending?
Dan's team won the game, and he hit a home run in his last at-bat
with his hand wrapped in gauze.
