Working on a set some years ago, I was cutting one foot square pieces of luan on a small table saw.

Since I'm also a guitar player, I wimp out when it comes to power tools. There are way too many things that can happen to fingers.
Once, during a rehearsal for another show, I was sitting in a folding chair at the back edge of the stage, waiting for my cue. One of the back legs slid off the stage, and I performed at least a 10-second Flying Wallenda balancing act on three legs of a falling folding chair (arms waving madly) before the chair and I finally went over backwards off the stage. I had recently broken my hand prior to that incident, so everyone came rushing up to see if I was okay. They found me lying on my back and laughing uncontrollably.
The only person (literally) who did not run to my aid was my wife. She told everybody afterwards that she was confident my head was hard enough to take the hit.
