Pushed my rolling chassis while turning the wheel, and ran (pushed) over my own toes of my right foot just a couple of weeks back.

Many years ago I had a '61 A-H 3000 in which I had installed a 327 Corvette motor and transmission. The car was totally reliable after that expcept one time.

 

The starter refused to engage and as I was parked on a gentle slope I decided to push it off and bump start it. I got it moving pretty good and as I jumped into the driver seat, the toe of my left foot touched the pavement just long enough for the rear tire to catch up with it. The car had wide rear tires that projected about 1.5" beyond the body.

 

The tire forced the foot forward and down and ran over the sole of my shoe and on up my calf, fortunately exiting to the right before it hit my knee. My foot was smashed into the pavement with only a sneaker between it and the asphalt.

 

My world turned bright orange with unbeliveable pain. It took a few seconds before I could see and act again by which time the car was doing close to 15 mph. I pulled myself the rest of the way into the car and got my right foot on the brake and pulled off the road.

 

I had four broken bones in my left foot and some road rash on the knee. To this day, once in a while one of those bones will get out of place and I will be limping for a while until it works back in place.
