This happened about a year ago but I feel like I can’t apologise enough.
My family doesn’t go on holiday often but in early august last year we managed to go to LA for a week and a half. My little brother Scotty (who is 7 now but would’ve been 6 at the times) was playing in the resort pool with my then 4 year old brother Sammy when my dad told me to get off my ass and into the pool. Scotty and Sammy were in the deep end of the pool wearing arm bands, and because it was the deep end I though ‘fuck it I’m just gonna jump in’.
I’m not a clumsy person, I never have been. But I completely messed up my jump. And as I jumped in, my knee flew right into Scotty’s face at full speed. Scotty started to scream, then started crying hysterically. I got him out of the pool as fast as possible but there was some of scotty’s blood floating around in the pool where he was.
Long story short, they closed the pool, we had to pay some criminally expensive fees for Scotty’s injuries, I got screamed at by my parents for the rest of that holiday, and I’m left more of less scarred for life by what I did to him. Imagine it: just playing around innocently with your little brother when the knee of a then 240lb 14 year old flies full speed into your face. Makes me feel sick when I think back to how he looked when I got him out of the pool.
TLDR - mistimed a jump into a pool and sent my knee right into my 6 year old brothers face. Which left him with some pretty serious facial injuries
