One time I was chopping wood with a wedge axe. These were big chunks of wood so it got hard stuck most swings. I'd leave the axe stuck on top and hit it with a sledge hammer to force it through which worked 95% of the time. (This is just how I was taught to do it lol)

Well one particular chunk of wood was lop-sided and I couldn't get a good hit with the axe, so I held the axe near the head while I swung down hard with the sledge to try and bop it.

It was probably the cold or maybe the gloves but the sledge went juuust a little short and right onto my thumb. It took a second or two for the pain hit to register but mentally I saw it happen in slow motion.

Oh noooooo! Oh I cringed, that sounds so painful
