This happened at state competition. So anyways, right in the middle of their show, one of the sousaphone bells fell off and the guy had to take off the sousaphone and set it down to reattach it right in the middle of the friggin show!
(also, right at the beginning of the show, one of the quad players fell over his drum and like rolled across the field... not their best day...)

We have risers for our tubas and euphoniums, so last year one tuba player fell off backwards... He was okay though
Good thing it was a low riser...
Now that we have higher risers I hope no one is stupid enough to scoot chair far enough to fall off risers...

My friend was walking with me and some other people on the way to our Christmas parade. She was carrying her sousaphone and all of a sudden her foot fell in to a grass-covered hole. She tripped and the sousaphone went flying. It almost got flung into the road. XD

one day during marching practice my friend tripped on something. I looked over and it looked like slow motion. "NOOOOOOO" he was falling onto his back. as carefully as he could he removed the susaphone and held it like it was his baby. he hit the ground.
the band director ran over and was like "IS THE TUBA OKAY???!?!?!?!?!"

I don't think anything that bad has happened to our tuba yet.
The guy that plays it is a pothead that sleeps during long rests.
Sometimes he falls too deep into sleep and drops it in the middle of a song...

On Monday I nearly broke my Tuba. gonk
I set it on the floor, on the floor, and I went to pick it up for a song [Befroe the song we did this rhythm thing] and I lost grip of it, and I hit myself in the face and I almost dropped it.. But then I held on the the end of it and regained grip. Everyone was all "You need help??". D: [I'll have to ask my BD if he has a Tuba stand] And luckily my BD didn't hear and/or see it.
Not as bad as the ones I read, though, but this Tuba isn't mine to own, it's the schools.

He's back on trumpet this year....lol.

There's a lot of crazy things that can happen with Tubas/Sousaphones.
Sousaphones:
Someone passes out with it on.
Bell falls off.
Once I was at a band review and I accidentally ripped the key valves off the sousaphone itself.
Tubas:
You're at a pep game and people keep throwing candy into your bell like it's basketball.
You drop your Tuba.
You loose your mouthpiece in the stands.
I can think of a lot more...

Last year, during marching band camp:
It was time for a water break, so everyone goes running for the sidewalk/edge of parking lot/shade/etc. and a flute smacks into one of our tuba players. Him and the tuba, one of the ones that you carry on your shoulder, slam to the ground. The tuba slides down the parking lot about 60 yards. Everyone else quickly asks him if he's okay, which he is, then run for the tuba to make sure it's okay. It was pretty funny, but our BD didn't think so.
This year, during a before school practice:
We had just got six new, shiny sousaphones for our marching band. We were running laps, and the majority of the section gently place their sousas on a cloth in the parking lot. Well, one of them, not the same guy who got knocked over by a flute, decides to run with the sousa still on his shoulders. Of course, he falls over, and squishes the poor instrument underneath him. Our BD was furious, and had to have it repaired.
