Since we're telling horror stories, I remember 2 that happened in my town, 1 guy who fell on a window pane and a woman who fell on a toilet while cleaning and broke it. Both died in a few minutes. Also a neighbour was pruning a tree with an angle grinder with a saw disk (!), the saw blade catched and he injured his leg near the crotch. He survived but the docs at the hospital told him that he didn't die by just an inch, literally.
