The worst work story I can think of didn't happen to me. Back in the 80s a certain set of sky scrapers were being built in A city near me. One day while the workers were installing windows one mans safety line became tangled in a pulley a few stories above him. He was immediately flung into the air before the line snapped and he plummeted to his death. Because of this accident it opened up a spot for my dad to work on said building Luckily nothing happened to him.
