Drying my back after taking a shower, and the end of the towel near my shoulder slipped out of my hand and I wound up popping the guy standing at the lockers next to me on the behind. He wasn’t too happy, but I was younger and bigger so he just frowned and moved over (I did apologize).

Yeah, there was a bench behind me and I smacked my head on it when I fell. I didn’t even realize I’d lost my glasses at first - I was sure it was a concussion. 
Also, I too have push pressed into my chin. I chipped a tooth that way.
In 15 years of lifting, I’ve had all sorts of mishaps in the gym, but I think the most embarrassing ever happened about a year ago. Some 20 year old kid wanted to try benchin 315 to impress some girls and asked me to give him a “healthy” spot (I think his max is probably more in the 235 range), and I really don’t think 315 is impressive, but that’s besides the point…
So I thought what the hell, why not help the brother out, after all they were fairly cute cardio bunnies… I was just finishing up some Power Cleans, so I was sweating like a faucet. Anyways, as I start curling the 315 off this guys chest for his 2nd “rep” I felt a drop of sweat start rolling from the top of my head, down my forehead, and watched in horror as it dropped perfectly off my nose and landed in this poor kid’s open mouth… as he got up to bitch about it, I calmly told him that maybe next time he should pick a weight that doesn’t require someone else to curl it off of him…
a few minutes later he came up to me and asked… “dude, I just need to know… did that sweat come off of your face or off of your balls…” to which I replied with a smile (trying to turn this embarrassing moment into something a bit more “badass”) …“I guess you’ll never know…”
and yes… the sweat did come from my head… lol
Not knowing my COCK was in the way I crushed it between two 45s, my boy asked me what happen and with a straight face I said “bro I crushed it” went to the bath room with a great urg to piss I looked down and almost passed out in the urnal. The whole TIP was black and blue and getting bigger I had to quick the day and go to the emergency room…lucky for me 2 weeks later it was in good working order!!

That story just really brightened up my day.

It seems like push pressing into your chin is more common than I had thought.
I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Not as manly, but I was doing cable rows with the stack. As with good gym etiquette, I step off the bench between sets. No one usually works in, but I believe it sets a good example. This time I turn around to adjust the play list on my iPod. Must have been distracted, cause I never noticed anyone step in. Turned around, got seated, grabbed the handle. I pull back with a mighty tug and went sailing off the back end of the bench. Someone had reset the pin at 100 lbs. Didn’t help that this was right in front of an aerobics room and about 30 women witnessed.

I normally don’t literally ‘lol’ from stuff I read online, but this made me laugh out loud.
A few days ago I was doing straight arm pull downs on one of the cable machines, and put a long bar on it that looks like it could go on a lat pull down machine. As I change the weight I quickly find out that the bar I put on was heavy then the the pinless stack. Comes smashing into my head during prime time gym hours.
I’ve sharted myself trap bar deadlifting back in highschool, and hit my chin curling, and the top of my head push pressing (coming down). And I’ve smashed countless fingers between 45lb plates on weight stacks.
One thing I don’t get is why people would wear shorts that could tear like that in a squat. Maybe it’s just me, but my preferred squatting shorts are the lightest, stretchiest, shortest shorts I have. Less restriction the better. No way in hell those are going to rip in the hole.
I’ve had 2 fairly embarrassing incidents.
I was clean and pressing a mostly filled keg in the gym and when I thought I had it locked out, my grip slipped and one end came down and cracked me right in the forehead. I got a nasty headache and a bruised bump like a cartoon character, and my training partners got a big laugh.
Another time after doing squats supersetted with leg extensions I finished up and hobbled to the locker room. I got in the shower and I started to feel extremely light headed. I got out early, soap still on me, wrapped a towel around my waist and sat down on the bench in locker room with my head between my legs. last thing I remember is my training partner saying, “Hey, you OK?” Next thing you know I’m on my back on the bench looking up at everyone in the locker room with my towel DRAPED over me, not wrapped around. This means I slumped over and passed out into the row of lockers and was likely naked, covered in soap, and unconscious in the middle of the floor.

best.story.ever.
Forgot to wear compression shorts for an Oly-Lift. On a warm-up snatch, on the second pull, Mr. Johnson flopped up just in time to have the barbell crush him.
A year or two ago back when I trained at the college gym I was doing zercher squats in the rack for sets of 5 with a really wide stance. I repped out a set and then got ready to rack the weight but instead of bringing my feet in from their wide stance first, I for some reason tried to step forward while in a sumo like stance.
Before you know it my feet collapsed underneath me and I fell flat on my back while the loaded barbell bounced off the pins. Got a few funny looks before I went back to business like all was normal.
When I first squatted more than my bodyweight I started to unload the bar. I took all the plates off one side and the bar overbalances and flies upward. I grab it before it flies off and slam it back down onto the squat rack. There was a loud crash that resounded all through the gym.
I work out at home, so I don’t really get embarrassed by my stupidity. I’ve unloaded one side of the bar completely, causing the other end to come crashing down at like 2 AM (I live on the second floor in my apartment building). But speaking of school-gym experiences, like 6 years ago in high school, we were doing this assisted stretch routine, and as I was helping a kid stretch while pushing his leg back as he was laying down, his nuts just fall out of his shorts. Weirdest moment ever. I didn’t want him to know that I saw his nuts, so I just looked away.
This bit of fun was training at home last summer. My pin is still bent. squat spastic rerack - YouTube
FWIW, when I pull at home. I have a gym mat behind me courtesy of PMPM’s deadlift video.
Freshman year in highschool when I had just started lifting, I’m in the HS gym with a few of my buddies and we are doing one of those bench press burnouts. So I have a 5, 10 and 25 lb plate on there in ascending order (opposite of normal). We would do 10 reps, then strip the 25, 10 more, strip the 10, etc etc all the way down to the bar. Well It’s my turn and once I get down to just doing the bar, I can barely press it at all, it’s going so fucking slow. Then out of no where the entire varsity cheerleading squad walks into the gym right in the middle of my final set with the 45 lb bar. My friend, being the asshole that he is, sees this and starts yelling “Come on man! Big max!” while I’m struggling with an unloaded barbell…all the cheer leaders see me and one of the girls looks over at my training partner all weird and says “Is that all he can do?”
I was so pissed/embarrassed.
