Tonight I’m going with dull cheese grater. 
 

Belt sander?

Wire wheel?

Stuck lug nut?

What ya got?

70 mph Colorado dirt is my most painful skin removal experience.  It was so hideous, that a Texas Highway Patrolman ordered me out of my vehicle about 3 weeks later, and was really pissed at the lack of speed in which I unassed, but was so disgusted and felt bad enough, that he just said, "damn, that looks painful, hope you heal up ok.  Sorry, for making you get up.  Just slow it down."

slide down a razor blade into bottle of alcohol .     i had my truck battery blow up on me ,  alot of acid on arm hurt pretty good .  some might not believe this but i had a tooth pulled and not replaced  awhile later 

i had a bone spur grow out the side of gum , got to hurting on weekend so i took my dremel tool and sandpaper wheel and ground it down. i have  weird genetic mutation cell thing going on where you can grow extra bone  ,  like having an extra set of wisdom teeth grow in ,

Hot tar and fabric. Ask your SO to show you how to wax things.

 

I scared my wife when I casually mentioned that I now have the recipe for the Sugar paste for waxing..........

I really do, and I saw a video once when it was done for the first time on a "young woman".

The scream was frightening.

However, back to the subject at hand.  I have northern European heritage and as a result, I don't tan, I just repeatedly burn.

So as careful as I was in life, my arms took the brunt of the sun damage on my body.

My skin  on my arms is like parchment, thin and fragile. 

So my contribution is that, I can only use fabric bandages now. I can soak the fabric in Alcohol and it soaks through to release the adhesive so I can remove the band aide.

The first time I used a plastic "sports band aide on my arm.  A day later when I went to take it off, my skin tore and started to peel then came off with it.  Now, I have a 1/2 inch of skin peeling off my arm down to the muscle and I had to stop.  I had to use Alcohol to soak the adhesive till it released slowly from my skin.

This self torture lasted a good 5 minutes at least, until the whole band aide came off.

It hurt!

Race track crash on a 1000cc SuperBike. Without leather my kneecap would have been bye bye...

Caused by cold tear in Dunlop N Tec race slicks. When you are right at the edge of grip, at apex, with your tiny contact patch, a small gap like that is enough for a low-side.  Went back to Pirellis and gave up my Dunlop sponsorship.

Where to fix a race bike when living in a luxury condo? Living room. 15th floor.

How to sand fiberglass fairings after a crash? In the shower. Naked.

Road rash doesn't really get fun until you have to scrub the asphalt and such out of the wounds.

My sister was a very good athlete (horse-girl strong).  She once took a mean wipe-out during a track meet,  on the cinder running track (knees and elbows).  She spit on it and walked it off.

Later,  we learned that she passed-out at the hospital,  when they took a wire brush to her.

There are a hell of a lot of raw, really pissed off nerve endings in a wound like that, that don't like being scrubbed. I've had to do this a few times myself, the worst of the incidents, I was road rash from the tip of my right pinky toe, to the tip of my right pinky finger. I was a mess. and I got to debride it myself. I had just turned fifteen.

Then afterward, like a dumbass, I put on a pair of cutoff shorts that partially covered the wound on my right thigh and fell asleep on the couch, with my leg bent. The entire top of my right thigh was road rash and the jeans covered about a third of it. The wound scabbed into my jeans as I slept and dried. When I woke up, I stretched and straightened my leg, ripping the top off that whole section of wound. That was probably the worst instant of pain I ever felt.

I still pull chunks of gravel out of my knee (they kind of just work their way to the surface) from a relatively high speed roller blade spill I took where a loose knee pad rode off. 

So I put abrading pretty high on the list of bad ways to lose skin. 

Abrading includes:

  • High heat
    • So, it's a burn and a cut.
  • Uneven scabbing.
  • The need to do painful deep cleaning.

But, the knuckle buster can be a very quick way to go from no pain to extremely high pain instantly.  One time I was trying to free a bolt in a very tight space next to an alternator.  Long story short: I effectively punched a sharp alternator bracket as hard as I could.  It had the added kicker of popping a small artery.  So, that when I examined my hand I saw blood being pumped out in spurts.
