santela Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I just did. I was playing with my maxijet and I don't know why I had my finger right at where the vault is. I also have no idea why I decided to press on the trigger at the same time. It was only a split of a second, but let me tell you, that **** hurts! On a related topic. I heard Michael Jordan cut himself with a cigar cutter one time, and one of his index fingers is practically dead. Amazing how it didn't even effect his game. Be careful with our toys people!
LordAnubis Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 This reminds me of the time i tack welded a "wing" onto a nut (too cheap to go and buy my own wing nuts). This thing was red hot. i proceeded to lift the welding mask, look at this re hot nut, tried to grab with gloves but couldnt pick it up cos it was too small.... so made the concious decision to remove said glove and pick up the red hot nut with my bare fingers. That wasn't a wise chioce.

Tino Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 At a wedding last year, quite late in the evening, attempting to light a Hoyo Petit Robusto. Didn't notice I had my Xikar torch upside down. Clicked the side, torched the palm of my hand. I took that as my cue to stop drinking!
JoeyGunz Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Managed to torch the end of my finger only a couple weeks back, but it hit right under the thumbnail, lovely place, was not comfortable for days. Also followed in Anubi's footsteps and picked up a red hot bolt, imprinting the thread on my thumb and forefinger for a few weeks.
Popular Post MostlyHarmless Posted July 23, 2014 Popular Post Posted July 23, 2014 Alright, i admit it, sometimes when im lonel..oh wait..torched..nevermind.. 8
Pedro2486 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Best I've done is drop a lit zippo while driving down the freeway at 110kmhr. It dropped off my lap into the top of my boot. That was fun...
madandana Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 My lighter is also easy to light upside down. Happens to my friends if I'm not keeping an eye on them when they use it.
tmac77 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 After far too many beverages and into the wee hours of the morning completely missed the cigar while lighting it and torched the tip of my nose instead. Had a perfectly round red burn on my nose about 4mm on diameter for about a week. Fortunately it didn't hurt too much as my pain threshold had been elevated proportionate to the amount of alcohol consumed during the evening.

That was fun...Ah, I did this as a young lad playing with a zippo and trying to learn tickets. I flipped, flicked, lit, and proceeded to accidentally drop in between the seat and door.
Drapatrissor Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Haha, Aimed a bit wrong while cigar still in mouth, since i was almost done with it and it was quite short i shot myself on the upper lip... ouch.
polarbear Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I burned the palm of my hand once when I tried to cup a triple jet lighter like a would a soft flame. It was turned up full blast so the flame was 3 inches long. Burned the **** out of my hand. Took a couple of weeks until the blisters died down
mikek Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I burnt the hell out of my hand at A B & M,just bought A cigar from my friend who owns it,sat down on the chair he handed me some super space age lighter and I lit it upside down! Tripple flame right to the palm!!!
Habana Mike Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Used to have a Blazer MT 3000 that had a 2500ºF blue flame that shot about 6" Was using it one day in bright sunlight, couldn't see the flame and nearly melted my thumb - ouch! Have also lit handheld torches at a bad angle as well as frying nose hairs or eyebrows when doing a touch-up on the nub....
Ghabanos Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Sometime I'm afraid of torching my eye brows off when relighting a nub in my mouth... Lol Damn just read habana mikes post. Anyway ditto as I hate wasting... When the sick is good, you just don't want to toss even the nub...
ogus Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 You know what I hate? Did you ever put your thumb in front of the torch lighter flame? Yeah, I hate when that happens. https://screen.yahoo.com/know-hate-night-watchmen-000000299.html 1
Grahamsant Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Yep! I used a blowtorch styled lighter which spit the flame out sideways. Was lighting a cigarette and by force of habit put my hand around it to shield the flame. Sadly I didn't shield my hand!!!
hulklogan Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Yep... but only on weekends. WAIT! I thought the thread title said "touched"... never mind 2
610 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I would've traded a finger burn for the full cup of coffee I managed to dump on myself this morning. I had just placed coffee on roof then proceeded to roll down windows then -unfortunately- the sunroof. Of course the neighbor came out right afterwards and asked how it was going. Should have replied "Oh, your supposed to drink it?"
santela Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 LOL, for some reason I'm really enjoying reading all you people's mishaps...
... Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 About 25 years ago, as a kid, I was at a family dinner party surrounded by wined-up adults and bored witless. Me and my brother were the only kids and the evening seemed endless. Adults were smoking some small cigars, probably cigarrilos, and at one point one of my uncle at left his go out. I looked at my bro and decided to roll the cigarillo's end in a candle's molten wax to coat a bit of it, thinking it would be funny to watch my uncle trying to relight unsuccessfully. Of course, nobody was paying attention to us brats Lo and behold, he put the one inch and a half long stick into his mouth and proceeded with the relight... The wax coated wrapper caused the cigar to produce a soft flame as if he had been sporting a small candle in his mouth! Me and my brother were laughing so hard, with nobody else understanding why! My uncle, in his drunken state, realized what was happening only once he had slightly roasted the tip of his nose No worries, he wasn't badly hurt. Writing it now about 25 years later, I still chuckle at the memory... 1
