Add me to the list of splinter casualties ... went in at the base of my thumb and came out 1/2 inch from the tip i never thought it would be possible for a thumb to swell up so much , still got the splinter in a matchbox somewhere .
The splinter hurt like fook , but , not as painfull as when i broke 6 ribs when dragging debris netting over the top of a pedestrian walkway we had built , i was of course not using any boards ( like any self-respecting scaff ) and running across the tube when the netting got snagged and i fell forward on to a transom using my chest to break my fall :laugh: .... absolute feckin agony for 8 weeks !.
