Grrr... injury today in the gym

[hypo]

Today as I was just finishing my last set of incline DB presses, I got up to go put them back and my shoelace got caught on one of those foot posts they have on benches. So I go down, two 90 lb dumbells in my hands, and one of them somehow ends up landing right on my left hand's middle and ring fingernails, leaving them bruised beneath the fingernails. I hope my nails don't fall off!

Why the hell do they put those pointless foot rests on benches anyway? So dumbass kids have a place to relax their feet in between sets?

Sorry... had to vent

Did anybody see you going down? That must have been scary, i hate that frightened feeling you get when you know youve tripped and going down. On a positive note, your lucky you didnt suffer anything serioius, such as broken or sprained fingers from the weights landing on them, having 90lbs land on your finger joints is probably not a really good feeling.
