Pain is no joke but when one Twitter user asked people for tales about the “dumbest ways” they had been injured, the sympathy winces were punctuated by laughter.

From someone who tripped over a pinata, to a bike chain in the face, these injuries had a hint of the Darwin Awards about them.

Twitter user @Gommunisd, who posed the original question, confessed to injuring his head on a fan when learning out of his bunk bed as a child.
