Prank items used in imitating horrifying injuries. Would getting your chest penetrated by an axe be too inconvenient? You could always use items which resemble an axe submerged in you, without actually entering your chest. Alternatively, items which resemble wounds could make you look under-the-weather. Another common version is for someone to bandage a body part or pretend to limp.
The character's reasons for doing this can vary: often, like most pranks, it's to make them or someone else laugh or to shock someone. It might also be to trick people into thinking they're injured (in a similar fashion to Playing Sick) to get attention or get access to something or as an excuse to be lazy or to get away with something. (e.g. "What? How can I have done it? My leg's broken!")
May result in Crying Wolf if they actually get injured afterwards (which can lead to An Aesop about deception being wrong) or Deadly Prank (if they actually injure themselves in an attempt at playing injured). See also A Bloody Mess regarding "injuries" involving fake blood. For a similar thing where characters pretend to lose consciousness, see Fake Faint.

On the Halloween Episode of Modern Family, Claire pretends to accidentally chop off her hand to scare the girls. They don't fall for it, but as they try to pick up the fake hand, it suddenly jumps up at them and they scream. Turns out it was Phil hiding under the table.
