I was skateboarding barefoot (problem 1) and hitting a very, very old wooden quarterpipe (problem 2). On one descent, my foot slipped and I stepped down on the splintery top edge with lots of resultant blood and pain. The pain was initially intense, but became a dull ache over the next few weeks. I won't go into gory details, but the huge splinter that had actually gone deep into the flesh that fateful day (unbeknownst to me) managed to work itself out in a festering volcano of grossness many months later.
