It's been a while since I've seen a thread like this and I always love the stories. What's the biggest blooper, blunder, injury, or other unexpected/unintended consequence that's happened for a messy session for you?
I'm thinking of it now because I'm getting a big messy session together for tomorrow night and I just finished mixing all of the food coloring into the tubs of whipped cream for my pies. I stacked 7 tubs of whipped cream up and was carefully walking them out to the garage fridge. But when I opened the door to the garage, I lost the balance on the stack and all 7 tubs of brightly colored whipped cream hit the floor and four of them popped open splattering whipped cream on the floors, door, and welcome mat. Just spent the last 30 minutes cleaning up.
Well my worst injury was when i was testing my messy slide and got friction burns cough cough on my .... "tackle" meaning my pelvis and such. I went to go down the slide i thought i had properly lubed up the slide with chocolate syrup not realizing that the syrup had dried some into a sticky stop. The result was my full force of my weight pressing against the slide and being nude well you can guess what happened. Also bruised my stomach all in the name of messy fun. Lesson learned and i did away with the slide shortly there after. Also dropped my go pro into a few pies on accident a couple times no harm done as its water/mess proof so.
My most recent video actually! The paint one - I thought it would be fun to add glue & glitter at the end to just make the picture a bit prettier (not intended to be part of the messy bit) but unfortunately I didn't think through using spray glue & it went absolutely everywhere! Then I tried to open the glitter lid & it tipped over the pot & half the pot of glitter tipped over the floor & onto everything! So I thought I would try add the glitter to the painting with my hands but I just got stuck to the glitter & the glue & then the painting so it smudged everything & it was just going EVERYWHERE and I started freaking out a bit as I was literally stuck to this super itchy glue & then my phone died so it didn't even film the end- full on disaster and I am still cleaning up glitter a week later! It was even in my take-away! Haha!!
- Found out the hard way how much I hate custard! - Flour+Water (+poster paint) REALLY sticks to body hair. - A bin liner filled with gunge and tied onto the shower head is NOT a practical gunge tank since most the gunge gets stuck inside it. Ended up milking it like a cow!!! - Hotels test their fire alarms on a weekday morning. And they test it for a full minute- which feels like the real deal when I'm head-to-toe plastered in gunge and thinking 'oh shit! need to evacuate!' - Melted ice-cream is sickly-sweet and triggers my custard-gag reflex. Into the shower of shame I go. - If the gunge settles into large jelly lumps, do not put it in the overhead bucket- it'll block the hole in the bottom. I just had to keep awkwardly poking out the holes to get a trickle of gunge. - A full length wedding dress can rip and fall off under the weight of gunge. It's then so heavy and slippery it's almost impossible to pick up again. - Gunge is slippery. Stacking two inflatable hot-tub seats under the gunge tank can cause them to slide apart from under me. - A PVC catsuit can hold a LOT of gunge before it leaks. The weight can pin you into a slippery bathtub and make it very difficult to move. (So I poured some more in and carried on). Might a pulled a few muscles trying to get back upright.
Back in the 90s we were filming a couple having messy sex. The young woman, with camera running, took off her messy panties and flung them hard against a wall. They hit the wall and stuck, for several seconds, then oozed down to the floor. Hysterics. The same woman was playing with a hot dog and broke it in half. More hysterics.
There is a very sexy WAM video from about ten years ago where the woman audibly cuts wind. You can see her smirk and say something to herself and continue on.

It's funny that you mention the bin liner as a terrible gunge tool. It's one of my favorite. I use grocery bags (usually double them up in case one has any small rips or holes), then I suspend them overhead and get underneath and stab the bottom with scissors or a knife or something. I do have to "milk it" to get the rest out but gets a pretty decent stream if the hole you poke is good enough. Picture below for reference.
I had once found some incredible grey clay at the bottom of a creek. I was wading around and it was maybe 2 feet deep when my foot suddenly got caught at the bottom and I felt incredible pain. What had happened was the foot began to sink faster than my other one, causing me to keep my balance by putting most of my weight on the sinking foot. But what I didn't know yet, was that it had lodged itself into a crack in a large submerged rock, and this crack had jagged edges. The only way to pull my foot back out was at an odd angle, but the clay kept me from adjusting my position to enable me to do that. So, with the jagged rock clutching firmly at my foot, my lower leg was bending until I could move enough to straighten it again and eventually slowly pull it free. I wound up with nasty cuts on my ankle where the rock had 'bitten' my foot. On another occasion we discovered broken glass deep in mud, but thankfully didn't get cut.

One time I was walking a pie over and they where limited I tripped and the pie exploded an the floor so I picked it up and made it work with what I was doing. But the person kinda noticed the mess so I laughed about it but that pie took a good 20 mins to thaw and had food coloring with other stuff I was doing but I felt bad about messing up a set up with someone I was collaborating with
