I was adjusting the brakes on my Splitty and so had the wheels off the floor at the rear. I grabbed the wheel at either side and spun it round quite fast to check that the shoes were not binding. The bus was pretty low with wide steelies and tyres on it and as I span the wheel round my fingers were wedged between the wheel and wheel arch stopping the wheel dead. I was sure I had done some bad damage as the pain was sooo bad. Worst thing was that the fingers were stuck half way along the arch and I had to decide wether to carry on turning the wheel in the same direction or go back the other way to get them out. Damn there was a lot of blood.

Hit the bone over my eye (under my eyebrow) on the skid plate while getting out from underneath my Thing. First came the blood, then the swelling, and later the black eye.

I had just gotten a rear safari for my 58 panel and i was finishing putting it on got it done and went to open the hatch and i was kinda excited and was not paying much attention and i lifted the door to the top and the rod that holds the door open was not all the way in the little slot so the whole cargo door fell straight on my face with tons of momentum and busted my eyebrow nose and lip open lots of blood everywhere now i allways check to make sure it is properly held in place
