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.

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.
