Well, i had a very unfortunate run in with physics. We had a small pool in which dwarves were wading in and out of scrubbing blood and grime off themselves and right into the pool. Combined with the babies drinking from the bloody pool, a Kobold fell through murky pool hatch about 3 stories above the pool and landed stomach first and puked all his guts and teeth right into the water. The squad of crossbowdwarves refilling their canteens had some very sloppy target practice... I decided the miners needed some work and decided to make a well and destroy that literal bloodbath. I made a huge ornate room and set it as a new meeting hall to ease off the crowding in the first one. My triple legendary miners and my 2 newbies began working hard on the first well, and completed it within 5 minutes irl.
I decided that a second one couldn't hurt, so i began set out the plans and my minions followed. I completely forgot to restrict the actual well hole itself, and dwarves suddenly found themselves being pelted with rock 30 stories above them. A single patch was left at the top, and a single last one was at the bottom. #1, expedition leader-mayor-miner extraordinaire is suddenly smacked in the head by a boulder of galena. The extreme heavy ore of lead. His upper spine is broken and he becomes paralyzed from the neck down, and cant breath. A newbie up top who mined that bit runs away to his bedroom, and #2 runs to his best friends aid. 1 dies in 2's arms, and 2 goes up top and builds the well after hauling the body off to its tomb. 2 drinks some sunshine and gets over it.
