Two years ago, I directed "The Haunting of Hill House," which calls for tons and tons of backstage knocks and slamming sounds. My poor crew looked like bombed refugees by the end of our run because they hit each other almost as much as they hit the sound-effects stuff we built.

Man, I bet we could swap some stories....
Working on a set some years ago, I was cutting one foot square pieces of luan on a small table saw. Didn't have the blade guard dohickey on, because they just get in the way, you know.
The luan was a little damp, and one of the pieces kicked back, and bounced off my inner thigh, off into a corner a good twenty feet away. If it had hit me a couple inches more to the right, I'd have been in a big world of hurtin'....
Got quite the colorful bruise as it was.
