After hearing of an incident involving a mast, a mast extension and a very sensitive piece of the male anatomy .
I wondered just how bad can you hurt yourself, before you even get on the water.

I sliced a fin through my shin to the bone !!

Downhaul rope slipping on the winch resulting in a deep cut on the skin between thumb and index finger.

Not as bad as the other downhaul accident mentioned?? Ouch..

Dislocated a shoulder hoiking a handful of sails over my head when walking down the side of the house to load them into the car. Put a prompt end to that session before it began.

Jumped over the sail when rigging and caught my pinky toe on the foot of the sail, dislocting it Didn't realise it was so bad 'till I got in the water and it felt all floppy

Left my board on its side in the garage with the fin still attached after a good session and ready for the next day - The "Misses" walked into it, resulted in a trip to hospital and many stitches.
That really hurt with all the consequences!!!! I still get it replayed regularly.....

Worse injury is definitely being slapped around by the wife and told that you can't go windsurfing...the latter being the most painful.
