5 Weird Accidents and Injuries That Could Happen to You

Approximately 130 million Americans visit the emergency room each year. This brings doctors a mixture of ailments to treat.

While some visitors need care or illnesses or rather typical wounds, others hesitantly go in for strange to downright embarrassing injuries. Read on to learn 5 of the strangest accidents and injuries that could land you in a doctor’s care.

1. Forehead

One of the seemingly safest sports around can actually turn dangerous when people do not pay attention or follow protocol. Though not super common, a head injury on the golf course can land you in the emergency room, or even result in death!

If you stand in the wrong area, or golfers ahead swing before the coast is clear, you can get knocked in the head with a speeding ball! Head injuries can also occur from standing too close to somebody teeing off.

Prevent weird injuries on the golf course by following rules and always paying attention. If you get injured by an inattentive golfer, do your research on how to receive the proper compensation.

2. Hot Pocket Burns

People often make convenience foods like Hot Pockets or Toaster Strudels for a quick burst of flavor. But, when they get too impatient and do not wait the 2 minutes after heating to eat, as directed, they end up with gnarly Burns.

During the first bites, the gushy liquid max seeps out and sticks to the tongue, cheeks, palate, and throat. This often causes the skin to peel off. The burns may also create dangerous swelling in the throat or esophagus.

It can also bubble onto the lip or corner of the mouth, leaving a scar that lasts a while. For bad enough burns, you may need medical treatment.

3. Challenged Lips

When the Kylie Jenner lip challenge began, teens everywhere thought they found a free way to make their lips look bigger and better. They simply suctioned their lips into a tiny opening of a bottle, creating a vacuum that enlarged the lips.

While most kids only suffered swollen lips and minor discoloration, others did not get so lucky. Some suffered broken blood vessels and others actually burst their lips open, creating permanent scarring.

Though the challenge targeted teens, some adults actually took this to their beauty routine. But, this beauty tip can leave you busted.

4. Cellular Injuries

Don’t worry, your cells are probably fine. But, many people show up to the ER with injuries from their cell phones!

Would you ever admit that you broke your nose dropping your phone on your face while laying down? Yes, this can actually happen while texting or playing games in bed!

Most commonly, cell phone mishaps result in lacerations. They might occur from texting and walking without awareness of the surroundings.

But, some of the worst phone injuries occur from distracted driving. Text and talk safely!

5. Traumatic Intimacy

Some of the weirdest and most embarrassing freak accidents occur during intercourse. When things get a little rough, a man can actually fracture his penis, causing intense pain, swelling, and humiliation at the ER. Other strange sex injuries include allergic reactions from lube, a torn anus, and stuck foreign objects!
