Medical professionals share the dumbest injuries they've seen on New Year's Eve.

Ringing in the New Year can be fun, but it's critically important to also stay safe...

Between wearing scratchy sequined dresses with precariously tall heels, illegal-for-indoors sparklers, excessive drinking and amateurs attempting to open bottles of champagne, New Year's Eve automatically comes with a whole lot of hazardous situations. Considering a major New Year's Eve tradition is watching a giant, heavy, crystal-studded orb drop into a crowded Times Square while Mariah Carey demands tea--NYE is a built in recipe for dangerous disasters. Have a good time, but remember to get a designated driver or a cab, stay away from sharp objects and set minimal items on fire. And, if you insist on some sort of pyrotechnics for your party, keep them very far away from your buttocks...

While you prepare for your party, allow these medical professionals to share their dangerous tales of New Year's Eve with their answers to the Reddit question, "What was the dumbest injury you saw on New Year's Eve?" Look fabulous, but stay smart in 2020, kids!

1. Oh no, "silentgoldfish."

I worked emergency NYE. Dumbest injury was by far this one:

Girl drinks too much and passes out. Drunk fiancé decides that sleeping drunk girl has died and starts CPR. After each round of CPR drunk girl pushes fiancé off her chest because CPR hurts. Fiancé gets friend to hold down drunk girl's arms and continues CPR. Ambulance arrives, throws fiancé off drunk girl and brings her to us complaining of a sore chest.
