A study carried out by research firm, Mobigel Paineze Spray, has found that half of the adult British population has suffered injuries from simple everyday tasks. These mundane activities are so pedestrian, you might not even realize they pose a risk. You probably look both ways before crossing a street, but do you take any precautions before sneezing? Well, if you're British, maybe you should. Here are the top 20 bizarre ways Britons injure themselves (our favorites in bold).

4. Falling out of bed
5. Slipping when stepping out of the shower
