It just shows though that one momentary fuck up can fuck you up for ever.

I recall my 7th grade teacher we nicknamed 'Rip Lip' - he had this messed up lower jaw that had been re-constructed after he tangled with a chainsaw that went rogue and slipped its chain. Really did a number on him. I still remember the visual - and to this day I'm still a little leery whenever I use my chainsaw in the yard.
As you say - it just takes a momentary fuck up to do some real permanent damage. He was cool about the injury at the time...used to joke about it a bit. But it was quite disfiguring and he always talked like an NHL player that'd taken too many pucks to the face.
