Has your gear ever hurt you???


It seems that every piece of equipment I buy now a days weighs a ton! My speakers are 200lbs each and my monoblocks are 150lbs each!!! Each time I try to move them I swear I feel a hernia coming on. I am also always afraid I am going to drop something. And in true audiophile fashion, I imagine how I would contort my body to protect my beloved gear if the unthinkable was to happen. Fortunately for me, I have never had to sacrifice my body for my gear but I know the day is coming (too many late night re-arrangments). Actually, I gave myself a deep gash on my leg as I was walking over my amps the other day. Even though the Pass Labs amps look great, those heat sinks can be absolutely deadly!! Why do the things we love so much also hurt us so????

So, I am wondering if anyone else has been hurt by their gear in one way or another.

Lost a toenail on the corner of an amp 20 years ago. I was moving things around one night and forgot the amp was in the middle of the floor the next morning when I walked out into the living room. It still hurts when I think about it now.
Everytime I change cables on my Eagle 4 I end up hurting my hands on those blasted heat sinks! NOT an ergonomic design...
Dropped a Jolida CDP remote on my toe once. That remote is heavy! Still have a bruised toenail.
Too many times hauling subs, speakers etc. up and down between the listening room and the garrage/outside. I made peace with my ego about two months ago and purchased a quality hand truck. I will become a wussy-man and use the truck rather than be a man's man with a bad back. I don't plan on losing my health for this hobby.
By the way, if anyone works out, when it comes time for the leg press, use the 100# plates and as you transfer them to the press you'll accustom yourself to hauling components at that weight. Have to agree, though, that as I age the appeal of lightweight class D amps grows...
