The scary thing is I was fine and didn't notice anything was wrong at all. If I'd been alone I would have carried on right through to severe hypothermia or death

Beyond the first wave of chilliness removing my coat and getting in, (already had my pvc outfit and thighboots on underneath!) I got used to it and didn't realise how cold I was. At all.

The following week I did some other mud filming in +15c (yep, that's British weather for you) and it was fine, so that became my minimum acceptable mudding temperature. Although I was wearing a jumper and jeans too for that one.

Wow, that's very scary. I remember an information film shown in cinemas in the early 1980s about the dangers of hypothermia, showed someone waliking through a snow-bound forest, with a voiceover explaining about the effects, I think it was actually aimed at people going out drinking because as I remember it included that alcohol stopped people feeling the cold. We had some bitter winters back then, I vividly remember 1982, when there were three high pressure systems stationary in a triangle across the country for what seemed like weeks, and absolutely everything froze. I think quite a few people died of the cold that year.

There have been times we've driven out to the mudbanks, got out of the van, felt the temperature / wind / oncoming rain, got back in, driven back to the hall and shot an indoor scene instead. This far north I always assume any planned mud day may be kyboshed by the weather, so we always have fallback dungeon options just in case.

Slipped in the bath, while very messy, the shower screen saved it from being worse, but still resulted in a massive bruise on my arm which was harder to hide as it was mid summer , hated lying about how i'd done it, but didn't have much choice.....

Did some outdoor mud and jammed my finger on some hidden branches. Then walked to the river to clean up and punctured my foot. Luckily nothing too serious.

Oh and bruised ego when I find out I didn't clean well enough in a shared space

Oh gawd!!!! The lemon oil was an effing disaster!!! Hahahahahaha!

I've got a few, I've pulled muscles trying to pick up the mess to use on myself that I placed too far away, Also had a scare one time recently when I slipped and fell in the shower while having someone pour mess over me. Luckily I just got minor bruising.

The "slip" scare would be by far the most prominent which is why we never shot in a tub or on a hard floor. Carpet underneath generally solves the slip problem which obviously you can't do in the shower or tub.

From the first pie I threw I never would use a tin when thrown. I still think that's insane. Put the pie on a paper plate when it's still frozen. If not, just use a spatula to take it out and put it on the plate.

You also have to be careful if you are using baked pie shells. If they are cracked, don't use them even if you already filled them with cool whip. They can have a painful "edge" if it hits a face wrong. As much as you might want to use that shell.....do not.

What I have done is re-write a piece of script on the fly to use that kind of "cracked" pie with cool whip on someone's head or a clothed body part.

I once stupidly used my left hand (I'm right handed) to smoosh a graham cracker crust pie into someone's face and then moved it a little and the edge of the tin scratched a little on the person's face. VERY minor...but still to this day it bugs me.

Two things I learned from that:

1. I am not amPIEdextrous.
2. Jayce now gets gift certificates for Taco Bell on a monthly basis

Quite a diverse and creative collection of injuries and ailments so far. I think everyone deserves a round of applause!

I'm surprised not to read of more eye injuries. The closest I've come to injury was getting syrup in my eyes, which stung like hell. Whenever I see women getting syrup or honey facials with seemingly little discomfort I wonder was I just being a wuss or did I do something wrong?

I have way too many injuries to even post !

this summer ? was the summer of injuries for sure! The way down to the mud was extremely steep, brutal and scary! So? with that? Came lots of knee, wrist injuries and that one little slip where you see your life flash before your eyes! all for the love of mud!

but yeah. ive had quite a few over the years! MOST of them were involving mud pits.

::Gasps in Fahrenheit::

I also see people (really men) who are so excited to pie a woman that they let their excitement take over common sense and really let the person have it. I've even seen one video where the woman got a bloody nose. No harm purposely intended but still!

So I can stop sending the gift certificates?

Wow, that's brilliant!

Nope not a wimp, sugar in that kind of level is an irritant. it's worse than vinegary things in my experience. I wrote about it in my spotless sploshing blog, more related to intimate areas but eyes get a mention too

Injuries do happen.. its part of it. For me the falling situation is always a thing. I fell in the tub once. Feet just went out from under me in the mess somehow did a half flip and landed on my shoulder.. NOT a good time.

Also the problem can be trying to get up off the floor or out of an inflatable pool and not slip and smack you head off the sink.. I have done this as well.. Luckily only *almost* knocked myself out. I like to get messy on inflatable pool toys as it gives something to sit on while getting messy, or roll around on.. I have fell several times trying to get up and did a bad split. That really hurt in the groin area... Trying explaining how you pulled your groin is always fun.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I legit got scared for a minute there! I thought she was going to flip upside down or something!

In my early 20s I worked at a restaurant with other young good looking people. Everyone was hooking up. We all got a long and flirted, and although I'm sure they weren't into it any way like us, but pie face ambushes with whip cream pies and the occasional guacamole on a napkin in the face was a daily part of the flirtatious atmosphere (I avoided it because I felt like I'd be taking advantage unfairly).

Anyway one day this idiot decided to include some snobby hostess girl who definitely wasn't down with any kind of horse play. Anyway when she entered the kitchen this idiot was waiting for her and shouted GUACAMOLE FACE!!! And then threw the guacamole. This gave the hostess a moment to turn her face out of the way. The Guacamole ended up hitting her in the ear and she FREAKED OUT. She was screaming and crying bloody murder and ended up getting rushed to the Er.

The ER told her she was totally fine, but that was the incident that ended the pie face ambushes. It was good while it lasted.

ah thx yep darla was check me after feel in bath and was fine.. shock get messy first time still in my body lol

this was few day after

Bloody hell Candy! This is simultaneously funny/not funny at all!!!
Genuinely thanks for getting the warning out there!!

I wonder if there is a guy on here remembers lending me an icepack after a nasty slip during clean up...? Great gunging though.
