I was adjusting something on one of those big overhead gas heaters like this one:
I lost my balance and started to fall off the ladder so I grabbed the heater from the bottom with both hands to save myself from the fall. Problem was, it was heating at the time and this one had exposed sheet metal covering the heating element. I burned all the fingers except my thumbs and it hurt like hell for days. Huge blisters developed on every finger and I looked like one of those frogs with the big suckers on his appendages.
Prints eventually came back after everything healed and I retained my license to do more unsafe stupid tricks.
