Like anyone who has conducted field research, I have experienced various kinds of mishaps. In fact, this is something in which I seem to have become an expert. Here's just one example. At the moment, I'm investigating the infectious disease burdens of the 15,000-strong population of wild zebras living in Etosha National Park. The most basic material for the research is blood samples. They are not easy to collect as one has to catch one of the zebras first and this entails the use of a pneumatic dart with a cocktail of opioids 10,000 times more potent than morphine.
To get a sample, we drive around a national park which is roughly one tenth the size of the UK. In such vast plains, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. When we have found a group of zebras, we have to shoot the selected animal in the shoulder and wait about five minutes for the animal to become groggy and fall over. Then we rush in to gather our samples before the effects of the tranquillizer wear off. This is a tried-and-tested procedure that usually yields excellent results. However, every now and then, an animal somehow manages to override the effects of the sedative, and becomes more agitated than drowsy. This can happen if the creature becomes stressed prior to the tranquillizer being administered. That's what probably happened that day. We spotted a female zebra, just right for the purposes of our research, and after shooting the dart we followed her. We were confident that the sedative would quickly take effect, she would tire herself out and take a nap in the open. However, she not only kept galloping for much longer than we expected but also headed straight for a scrubby acacia tree, the only one within a 5 km radius. In hindsight, I suspect she was aware of our presence and wanted to conceal herself from us in the shade of the tree.

What occurred soon after was a spectacular collision between the zebra and the tree. This solitary structure had a V-shaped branch that was precisely the height and width of the zebra's neck, so our zebra got completely stuck. To get the zebra out of her predicament, it took two qualified vets pulling her tail, and a third one manoeuvring the zebra's head out of the V-shaped branch. Then she was immediately tranquillized again with an additional dose of the sedative so that we could finally take the blood samples. And when the sedative stopped working she jumped up defiantly, trotted away back to her herd and resumed grazing as if nothing had happened.
