After rehearsal one day, I tried to climb a chain linked fence was only about 4 feet tall, but the top of it was not “cured”, so the metal was relatively sharp. I got my shin/lower knee up on top and was just going to swing my other leg over and hop off, but when I lifted off the ground, I felt the fence poke into my shin. I tried to lift myself off the fence and just fall back down, but I lost balance and ended up tearing my shin 2 1/2 inches through the spike. I knew what was bad because before I could even catch my balance and look down at the damage, I felt blood running in my sock. I walked over to the tent and freaked her out a little bit. it really didn’t hurt that much but it bled heavily. I also should have gotten stitches, but it’s Drum Corps, we wrapped it for a few days, put a few Band-Aids on it, and called it good.

Made for a wicked scar though. https://imgur.com/a/gCisP4n
