Wore a lifting belt for everyday stuff like carrying groceries, then threw my back out picking up a sock
Back when I thought a belt made me bulletproof, I strapped on my $80 leather one just to move a couch in my Pittsburgh apartment in 2021. Pulled something in my lower back reaching for a dropped sock two days later, belt still on the whole time. What's the dumbest thing you ever trusted a piece of gear to protect you from?

Wait, you pulled your back reaching for a sock? A sock? That thing weighs nothing. That's the part that's blowing my mind here. You had the belt on the whole time and your spine still said nope over a piece of laundry that probably weighed less than your phone. I'm sitting here trying to picture this, like you bend down, grab it, and boom, you're on the floor. Honestly that might be the most disrespectful injury I've ever heard of.
