Back from work, having head-butted the nosewheel doors of a Dash 8. Claret everywhere 
Is the plane okay....?
Yup. Having done the headset the captain (a wumman) asked me to remove the tug and bar. Normally you can use your foot to release the bar rom the nosewheel, but this particular bar was having none of it. So on my hands and knees I set about yanking it free and when it did eventually come off my head shot upwards and clobbered the edge of the nosewheel doors. I knew straight away it was a decent cut as the blood was splshing on the floor
She then asked to power up engine 1 to full (I gave her permission) and she asked me to disconnect the headset and wave her off. A Dash 8 flight deck is low down - head height (even my head height
so when I walked off and turned around to give her the "thumbs up" she had an excellent view of the blood pissing down my face and off my chin. She looked like she'd seen a ghost
No pitot tubes were harmed in this
If they had been, I would have been suspended and lost my bonus
