The what have you smacked yourself in the mouth with thread...

[Slvrmple72]

The steel clip on the end of my steelcore lanyard gave me a nice fat lip last week. My buddy tried to do dental work with the biner on the end of his rigging line saturday.:taped:

Been ##### slapped by an ill-concieved rope shot or 2(hundred). Got pissed off once and took it out on the wedge I was driving into the tree I was felling. Hit it so hard it popped back and gave me 14 stiches in the lip. Only stitches Ive ever had in my life and they came from a fricken wedge. :msp_sneaky:

LOL, I smacked the crap out of my lip with a dead stick about an inch in diameter yesterday. It came out while I was pulling another limb out with the pole saw. Thought it knocked a tooth out at first. Bled like a stuck hog. My lip is still fat. I was showing off my sexy pouty look to my new GF this afternoon...

Them flip lines are shockin at teeth removal, I been lucky hit plenty but nay damage. Wire core seem to be the most evil, gets the extra bit of energy as they rotate over the branch on way to ya face.

I was pulling my hand saw though a limb and keeped it going into my face down the eye nose mouth. I was 15 foot up outside a hospital window a nurse watched me as I roped down bleeding a lot. Twas just nick but to embarrassed of my stupid act to make any way with a sympathy treat from nurse.

Had a piece of wood eject out of a chipper feed in a way that defied laws of physics, hit my arm then my face put me off the job for the avo.

All these things have as yet not harmed my male modeling career, nope not one bit when they want scared n ugly they get in me :msp_biggrin:

My exwife's wedding ring found its way to me lip one time .
I had it coming to me,,,,,,well,,according to her anyway.

But as far as biners and snaps I have always managed to react just quick enough to miss the face,but not enough to miss me old noggin.

However,let me advise all here to never stretch an old bungee cord toward you at eye level.''DOH''

took a rope snap to the mouth once or twice and a good shot with a hookaroon that was stuck in a log until I gave it a good kick... A little too good, still have a scar in my mouth from where my tooth almost went through to the other side.

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

Carabiner on flip-line as I was pulling it out of the toolbox. Crazed the enamel on an incisor.

Lord knows how many branches, had a few slide down polesaws over the years too. Know a guy who lost 4 front teeth that way.

Had some debris from a stumper smack me in the kisser the other day, we were reclaiming some gardens space from buckthorn/raspberry bramble. I was outside of the 45* danger zone....

I was feeding a good 9" limb into an 18" Mobark about 15 years ago. The limb was prolly 6 or 7 feet with a good crook in it. When the feeder grabbed the log it pitched it up undercutting me right under the chin. I saw pretty colors that I didn't even know existed. Had to get 9 stitches. Doc said I was lucky I didn't bite my tongue off...

Took down a maple a couple of years ago. I left the chipper overnight to clean up the next day. When I got there in the morning the 76 year old HO had stacked the brush directly in back of the chipper. There wasn't much room to stand and feed. One piece hit the feed wheel, rotated and clocked me in the mouth and nose. I had a bloody nose and and tore the hide off my upper lip. I had to get a family photo that weekend. Wife wasn't happy. I just told her that tree work is a violent world.

Loading the log dolly ya know throw that first 90 log on the pan and top shoots atcha cracks ya right in the face and chipped front tooth breaking a bolt loose towards me cresent wrench right in the mouth!

 

[beastmaster]

I had a ficus limb tied off once and it some how snapped back into my face. I saw stars. I finished that job early because I had school. After school I looked in a mirror and noticed I had blood all over my face and scalp. No wonder no one ever talks to me at school.
The worse was a slam I took from a little promark stump grinder, the ones with the cutting wheel in the back, it jumped back and hit me pretty hard in the mouth with the handle almost knocking me out. I have a nice scar from it. beastmaster

 

[Groundman One]

The chipper and I have a love-hate relationship and that bee-yatch has slapped me aross the face with branches so many times infinity itself pales in comparsion.

 

[zopi]

on an SRT rig a few weeks ago and my line must have settled in the crotch or something, my ascender got a little slack and came over and popped me in the jaw..gonna have a nice little scar from that one.

Not real fond of SRT...

[trailduster2]

12 oz throw balls, flip lines, monkey fists, I had a good one today, I was climbing a not so tall ponderosa pine littered with missaltoe, I made my cut did a clean drop ( I thought ) with said cut branch. The branch fell about 6 feet bounched off a branch below it and boinged back up with a hella force that just about took me out of the tree! Right in the left side of my jaw! SMACK!!! Good thing for groundsmen, thay were nice enough to tie my helmat onto my climb line so I could have it back!

Dead locust is the flippin worst in a chipper. I've been smacked in the mouth and groin a few times chipping it. The worst tho was taking a peavey in the chin. Rolling a log during a timbersports practice, the dog caught in a hole in the log and sent the handle into my chin at about 60mph. 7 stiches in my chin, 5 in my lip and spent the next two weeks pulling my beard out of the wound.

 

[Rftreeman]

I smacked myself in the mouth with my mother's hand a bunch of times when I was a mouthy kid.....

 

[ronnyb]

I had the rope break on the recoil while starting the saw in the tree. Punched myself right in the nose.
