Had a Diana 27 air rifle growing up. You bend the barrel to charge it up with air pressure. Young me had poor grasp of how leverage works, and I gripped it too close to the joint. Once it was almost fully bent, my hand started slipping towards the open breech, and once it reached it the barrel snapped back, cutting two parallel incisions in the skin flap between my thumb and forefinger.
