Attention: TDR Forum Junkies By bodily damage I mean to your personal body Ie limbs fingers etc. This happened to me twice now. I know I know stay the heck away from me while I am working on my truck as bodily harm may befall you.
First time was when I put on my MagHytec front diff cover. Got her all buttoned up and jump up off the floor and took a sort of jumping step to get to the lube on the bench and tripped over my floor jack handle. Did a major face plant on the garage floor. Saved my face by putting down my hands but broke one of my hands in the process. The wife literally laughed at me and called me a DA and said thats what you get for working on your truck so much. Then later as the pain was getting worse she took me to the urgent care clinic for the tell tale xray and splint.
Then just about a week ago I was changing out my radiator/heater/and charge air boots. While doing the last ones; changing out the two heater hoses taking off the old ones and to get the pliers up to the fire wall to get the clamps off. I was on my tip toes standing on a milk crate stretched out just as far as I could be one hand holding up the insulation so that I could get the pliers on right and the other one working the pliers when all of a sudden the milk crate slipped right out from under me. Which has happened many a time (so dont use milk crates) but usually I can catch the crate with one of my feet to stop it before it goes to far or catch myself with one of my arms. This time being outstretched so far and on my tip toes no go. Came crashing down on my ribs and at a minimum bruised them if not cracked a couple of them.
Both of my DA experiences have been painful and to make matters worse I knew the milk crate was dangerous as it has slipped on me many times.
Am I the only DA on here or are there others as well?

. I think the truck was satisfied that I was screwed up enough without adding to it, or it figured I had enough advil and vicoden in me that I would not care
