      No, unless you count bashing my leg on my desk.

      I once fell off my bike. That was because of Gravity :p If you mean in the lab, then no I haven’t. Although my computer is always giving me static shocks…

      On one telescope I was responsible for building electrical components (capacitors, resistors etc) into the circuit boards using a soldering iron.

      Once, I *almost* managed to flick hot solder into my eye… that would have been painful. From then on I wore goggles :-s

      (I had lots of *almost* accidents…)
