Did anyone else chuckle when you read this?

I know Safety is no laughing matter, but I'm sorry, I laughed a little...

From the Sentinel Safety Newsletter:

Bodily Injury
*Cadet did a back flip off pool edge and struck pool edge with front teeth
*Cadet injured finger trying to catch a football
*Senior member injured by falling crowbar
*Cadet injured shoulder doing push-ups
*Cadet sitting outside during ground team training, leaned forward and received foreign object in nostril

That's why cadets shouldn't be "sitting outside" during ground team training.  He should have been doing flutter kicks, push-ups or reciting the Rescue Creed or something

A little...

[JoeTomasone]

I don't read the Sentinel - gives me too many ideas.

I actually laughed out loud at that one.  I mean c'mon you don't see that object there?

[swamprat86]

I want to know what the "object" was.  Was it possibly self-inflicted?

[RiverAux]

I had seen it and thought of bringing it up here, but couldn't come up with a worthy enough punchline.

YOWEEE!!! I'd much rather get hit by that falling crow bar. And BTW, did it say "ACME" on it?

[JROB]

Im glad im not the only one who thought that it was funny

[RiverAux]

I don't think the injury was that funny, but the way they wrote it up certainly was.

I'd certainly point and laugh at you if you had a foreign object in your nostril.

How does a cadet injure himself doing push-ups? How?

Don't get me wrong. I have sympathy for the affected in the backflip and nose incidents, and hope they learned an unfortunate lesson in using common sense. In the case of the football, accidents happen sometimes. And for the crowbar? Bet it's from Acme.

But injuring a shoulder doing push-ups? That's incredible.

[RiverAux]

Why would that be so crazy?  You're asking muscles to do something and sometimes things go wrong.

Dollar says it was a finger...

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye... then it's hilarious.

The pool incident got a roomful of groans when it was read at our safety meeting.

I guess they forgot to mention the other poor soul got out of the way of the ACME anvil only to get hit by the crow bar

Cadet: "Last night I had a great idea for an activity, but this morning I can't seem to put my finger on it..."

Those write ups always crack me up.......now that being said I have a child that once went to a Dr's office for an object in one nostril and was back 5 minutes later for a sticker up the other.  He got the sticker at the Dr's Office.

[RedFox24]

Not very PC of NHQ, shouldn't they have said "international" object instead of "foreign"?
