What are the dumbest ways that people have been injured in Augusta? There is nothing worse than being hurt. However, it's really bad when you get hurt in a dumb way. You weren't even doing anything dangerous, and yet you still end up hurting yourself. It has happened to the best of us at some point in time.

I bring it up because it happened to me the other day. I was sitting at my desk and I guess I stood up too quickly, and my back hurt for the rest of the day. All I did was stand up! I wasn't helping a friend move or working out or anything. My back was so stiff from just simply standing up.

It happened to Cody too, she hurt herself trying to jump from trampoline to trampoline at the trampoline park. When you're an adult in your mid-30s and you say you got hurt at the trampoline park, I don't feel like you're getting a ton of sympathy. If you get hurt, you'd like for there to be a cool story behind it. When there isn't, it just makes you feel dumb.

We ask y'all to submit the dumbest ways you've hurt yourself, and just like always, you didn't disappoint. If you want to check out all of the stories that didn't make it on the list, just click here

Check out the stories of the dumbest ways people have been injured in Augusta.

Sitting On A Steak Knife.

Cindy said she got a steak knife to open the mail and laid it down on the couch. She forgot it was there and sat on it. Straight in the thigh! It resulted in a visit to the ER and stitches.

Dancing At A Wedding.

Kayla tore her ACL and Meniscus on the dance floor at a wedding. She must've really been getting into The Cha Cha Slide!

Making Biscuits?!

Hope threw her back out opening a can of biscuits. I have a lot of questions about this one. How big was the can of biscuits? Why were you having to try so hard to open them? I need answers Hope!

Sleeping Wrong

How do you sleep wrong? I didn't even know there was a right and a wrong way to sleep, apparently there is. Brittney says she slept wrong in the car and now her shoulder, back and neck are all messed up.

Scared By A Cat

Robin broke her ankle in three places when she fell in a river after she got caught off guard by a cat.

Sneezing

Ricky sneezed too hard and pulled a muscle in his neck. This has happened to me before too! You know you're getting older when a sneeze puts you on the shelf for several days.
