People Are Sharing Their Stupidest Injury On Twitter (20 Tweets)

We all have that one injury that has a spectacular story attached to it. You’re probably thinking of yours right now.

That’s why NFL analyst Mina Kimes is currently going viral: she tapped into those memories we all have.

A few days ago, Kimes tweeted asking about people’s “stupidest injury”:

What's the stupidest injury you've ever occurred?

I'll go first: I popped my jaw last week by brushing my teeth too vigorously. It still hurts 😖

— Mina Kimes (@minakimes) March 21, 2021

Kimes’ injury happened very recently, when she popped her jaw brushing her teeth too vigorously. Hey, we’ve all been there.

Kimes followed her post up with another injury:

“One more: I have a dent in my thigh bc I was tapping a keg on a fire escape and the whole structure collapsed. Not my fault but kinda hard to explain.”

People began flooding to the tweet, with Kimes receiving 6.4K replies and 10.1K quote tweets – the majority of them were people sharing their own stupid injuries.

Here are 21 of the stupidest injuries from klutzes of Twitter.

1.

I broke 2 toes in the hospital on a hospital bed getting my new born son out of the crib. But because we were in a children's hospital I could get 0 treatment @Al_Carter17 https://t.co/q1Nj0sH6NZ

When I was young and horsing around with my cousins at our family cottage I Tarzan swung on a vine in the forest, let go by accident and plummeted 15 feet into a huge pile of cut wood.

A large branch almost impaled me but I lucked into a nasty gash up my torso instead. https://t.co/hR6FhlVIFS

On a ferris wheel with a girl I liked, stopped at the top, I tried to impress her by unscrewing one of the ride's lightbulbs. It exploded in my hand. I spent the rest of a VERY slow ride in pain, with a black hand looking like a cartoon bomb went off. SHE WAS NOT IMPRESSED. https://t.co/C2sPyssDE7

I jumped into my couch headfirst to celebrate the Timberwolves making the Western Conference Finals.

My neck was in a brace for three weeks. https://t.co/UxXvlbXssb

I re-broke my toe by accidentally kicking a bedpost while demonstrating to someone how I accidentally kicked the goalpost and broke my toe https://t.co/vVMaMYIPwK

Yeah go ahead and ask the girl who’s had 7 concussions what her stupidest injury was

Misjudging the distance to the ceiling while jumping on the bed and knocking myself out is for sure a top contender.

No one ask how old I was when this happened though https://t.co/cnBaQ3nG4L

I'll tell you the stupidest injury I've ever avoided:

I once almost ran over myself while driving a riding lawnmower. Don't ask how. https://t.co/mZKkFYpHzP

I have many, but the stupidest self sustained injury might be…

Dislocating my shoulder putting on a jumper. https://t.co/CBIZMFmrhr
