What is the worst way your body has betrayed you while on a fishing boat?

I recently remembered a story about my FIL. He fished local and smaller Bassmaster tournaments for years. One day he was putting in for a tournament on a single ramp and no nearby toilets. As he was backing down, his guts decided things were happening. He jumped on his boat, left his truck blocking the ramp and a bunch of other fishermen, and proceeded around the seawall as an attempt at privacy. He then re-painted a section of the seawall and had to do the walk of shame to move his truck.

Jobsite injuries can be much worse than they appear

Watched a builder's super throwing away some glass yesterday. He stepped off the curb, lost footing, and the glass broke on the dumpster. It looked like a pretty bad cut on his arm, good amount of blood, but I figured a bunch of stitches and he would be ok. I administered first aid to slow the bleeding, he got into my truck, and we went to the ER. Total of about 15 minutes from injury to walking into the ER. He underwent surgery late yesterday and is still in the hospital. Lacerated muscle, tendons, and he nicked an artery. Make sure you act fast, safely, and if you haven't had a first aid course in a while, consider a refresher. I don't want to think about what could have happened if he was alone.
