Had six thousand pounds of quickrete on a trailer. Went to unhook said trailer and the tongue bound on the ball. Put upwards pressure on the jack and tapped the tongue with a hammer. Tongue popped off, trailer shifted sideways as the jack failed at life. Jack stem peeled off the reach on the trailer and those 6000 lbs of cement plus gravity sent the six inch channel iron reach racing for my foot. I jumped back but as I mentioned it was rolling towards me. Luckily only caught the tip of my second toe.
Not sure how but it didn't crush it. It smashed my boot hard enough to split the rubber sole. Tore off my toenail and as I ripped my foot out from under, the weight dug the nail into the toe and cut all the hide off the tip of my toe. Hurt like hell but I'm damn lucky I can still count to twenty because it could have been half my foot or worse.
