While we're considering injuries in the chemical labs, how about: distillation rigs that explode when they run dry (due to peroxides in the solvent) flasks with circular scores in the glass on the bottom - the bottom drops out when you tap it too hard (e.g. when breaking up a chunk of solid you want to dissolve) and that famous lab caveat: Hot glass looks exactly the same as cold glass!
