I'll get things started:

This was not, as many will be expecting, a soldering iron burn. It was in fact hot glue. It was very hot. It was also very sticky.

Things did not go well...

Soldering iron burns, hot glue burns... But what do they say, variety is the spice of life

You just need to burn your eyeballs like I did a while back now

Last time I did it was when I opened the oven doing a Sunday roast...

Maybe add electric shock to spice things up? I was on a backpack hunt in the Eildon National Park last month and grabbed the cooker instead of the pot handle while I was cooking my dinner and copped a nice burn to thumb and forefinger. A dumbass moment but I'm sure I'll do it again.

Ouch!

Electric shocks, sure, why not

Well, ye olde Atari ST is a cracker candidate. I don't know how many times I've brushed my hand over a live ST PSU.

I do enjoy watching Badwolf's videos and note the clever protective cover over the PSU. Between that and electric cattle fences....

I don't tend to burn myself that often as I don't try. I'm the solar system's worst solderer. There are amoeba on a Jovian moon who can solder better than me.

Now cuts is another matter, every time I've opened up my Atari Falcon 030 in Desktopper case it has cut me. Same for Amiga A4000 case. Vampires the lot of them. (Amiga A3000 though.. never... rounded or bevelled edges on all metalwork!)

If we are getting into cuts I find the DB19 connectors the most vicious when desoldering.
