I keep thinking about falling onto a ledge and having to rmove the sodomy tool from my arse, they are rather sharp and pointy. I'm amazed it hasn't happened yet.

Maybe you should try keeping it somewhere else.

I keep mine clipped to my harness. No problems so far.

I had a fubar moment when I was learning to lead and had one tear a hole in my shorts. Never actually impaled me but did leave a pretty nasty graze that bruised quite nicely.

Yeah but I bet he doesn't keep his in the same spot Mikl does.

I was once descending from a climb and the nut tool caught on a rock. It threw me off balance and nearly sent me sliding down the gully.

~> You wouldn't like my thin aid nut tool. It has been extra sharpened to be able to remove #00 - #1 RP's after they have been bodyweighted, without damaging the wires...

... Nearly impaled myself with a cheat stick once. Does that count?

Good thing that you don't use a GriGri.

Hell yeah! I'd have had to pull on the handle

Is that some kind of variation of the 'waist belay' ?

hahahahaha

Is it unwise to ask how the hell you managed that?

It is not that difficult to achieve, particularly when you are belaying your second directly from your harness... second weights rope, ropes pulls tight and compresses sticht plate and hey presto... that stuck gear that your second was trying to remove suddenly becomes insignficant compared to the searing pain radiating from your crotch.

Of course there are more dangerous, potentially emasculating, sports, like golf..

"Based on a bet by the other members of his threesome, Everitt Sanchez tried to wash his own "balls" in a ball washer at the local golf course.
Proving once again that beer and testosterone are a bad mix, Sanchez managed to straddle the b all washer and dangle his scrotum in the machine. Much to his dismay, one of his buddies upped the ante by spinning the crank on the machine with Sanchez''s scrotum in place, thus wedging them solidly in the mechanism.
Sanchez, who immediately passed his threshold of pain, collapsed and tumbled from his perch. unfortunately for Sanchez, the height of the ball washer was more than a foot higher off the ground than his testicles are in a normal stance, and the scrotum was the weakest link. Sanchez''s scrotum was ripped open during the fall, and one testicle was plucked from him forever and remained in the washer, while the other testicle was compressed and flattened as it was pulled between the housing of the washer, and the rotating machinery inside.
To add insult to injury, Sanchez broke a new $300 driver that he had just purchased from the pro shop, and was using to balance himself. Sanchez was rushed to the hospital for surgery, and the remaining threesome were asked to leave the course.
NOTE: This last one wouldn't normally count, because the idiot didn't die. But because he cannot reproduce as a result of his qualifying act of stupidity, we have allowed it."

I headed down a descent once, slipped fell and started sliding to the edge, halfway over my nut key snagged an edge and kept me there. I was dangling over the edge with my nutkey acting like a skyhook keeping me from falling.

I am still waiting for the part of the recent TR that describes the rescue of egosan from a tree imbedment.
