What were the worst incidents you had while trying to /diy/ something?

Some dumb shit I did:

>Electrocute myself while trying to change a smoke detector cause the power was still in
>Watertight sealant on a new drain, only to find out it was still in plastic once I was done and let it dry for 2 days
>Drill into electric cable
>Attach pipes that turn out to be leaking a few days later

Not sure if it applies, but I was adding a bltouch to my custom 3d printer the other day. I fucked up the wiring and killed the board.
Once I replaced the board and wired everything correctly, I realized that I do way better bed leveling by hand (it's a small voron v0 bed).
Feeling like a retard.

One time I had a computer psu with the lid off , for some fucking reason I grabbed the end, plugged it in and zapped myself real good

My worst injury: I ripped off a thumbnail when I was trying to pry on something with a flathead and it slipped and my other hand was unfortunately positioned

Worst I've seen: A guy at work got his ring caught in a roller chain and it degloved his finger... oof. Still makes me cringe

Runner up: My bro in law was working on an ATV, he had the spark plug wire pulled but the end of the wire was still touching metal so gas shot out, and caught his arm and part of his face on fire
