When I was in college, I worked at a shipping company at night during the summers.

One night, we were waiting for a truck to come in, and the boss tasked us with breaking up some old office furniture. One item was a large, probably 10 foot long, credenza from a conference room. It was melamin coated particle board, and the corners were quite sharp.

So we start to pull it part, and the top comes off, one long 10 foot section. Well some guys are goofing around, and decide to do what Don has described, accept that one guy is going to hold on to it while another jumps on it. Now a 10 foot section of particle board is not that strong, but it ain't that weak either. So one guy holds it, and the other jumps.

Well the board does not break, and the guy holding it loses his grip, and the end of the board heads for the floor.......with the sharp finished edge moving like knife. Yep. It slices the guys leg open like a pork chop. Ugly, ugly scene.

The kicker? The guy goes to a 24 hour clinic (this was in an industrial area that had a place open 24/7) and comes back to work! He had like 40 stiches holding his leg together! It was insane.
