Playing football on the field aged 15ish...I, in my permanently unfit state, was bent over at the side of the pitch recovering from a stitch whilst my friends played on with their game.
I noticed a large (about 10ft square?), thin(ish) piece of corrugated iron lying on the grass. Intrigued, I began to lift one end of this extremely heavy object.
I managed to get one end up to chest level, and then proceeded to slowly walk forward, trying to flip it over.
Suddenly, my feet stepped into thin air and i fell about 6ft down an open manhole - luckily my elbows opened out keeping my head and shoulders from going down, but then the metal fell on my head.
My friends, hearing my muffled screams for help as I was about to sealed into the hole by the metal sheet, ran over to help lift it up and pull me out.
Damage? Mild concussion, and 12 stitches on my shins where the rungs of the ladder had dug in on the way down.
Still, got a nice scar to show the ladies!
In retrospect, should really have put a claim in due to the councils negligence put that's a bit of a cop out, was my fault after all...

ExcellentI really enjoyed this, the image of someone dangling down a drain with a sheet of iron over their head made me burst out laughing.
