what is the dumbest thing you've ever done?

I was around 18, it was my senior year in HS, and being a bored 18 year old with too much energy and not enough sense I was chopping at a log with a hatchet (not the dumbest thing yet) and decided to prove how strong I was (to no one in particular, I was alone at the time) by seeing if I could split the log in one mighty blow (Still not the dumbest thing yet, but we're getting there).

I stand the log up vertically (see what's coming, don't you?) raise the hatchet up high over my head and swing downward with all my strength... just in time for the log to fall over. I almost managed to stop the momentum of the hatchet but still end up burying the bottom curve of it in my right knee. I pull it out and inspect the damage... I had about a quarter size hole in my leg, which was oozing blood... (And here comes the dumbest thing part) and decided, "This doesn't look too bad. There's no reason I have to tell anyone about this." So I wrap a towel around it, put on some long pants (even though it was summer in Las Vegas) and do my best not to let my family see me limping around. I decide to hit the rack early that night.

The next morning I woke up with blood all over my sheets and looking pretty pale, plus I can't bend my knee which I thought might be a bad thing. So I call up mom and admit what happened and get our insurance info so I can drive myself to the doctor. The doc did xrays and found some chips of metal floating around in my meniscus, said it needed stitches, but he couldn't put them on since it happened over 12 hours ago, so he had to butterfly bandage it and put me in a splint for the rest of the summer.
