I am in the hospital

I knew a guy lost leg bone below the knee from a chain saw. They put an expandable Halo on his leg, every so often they lengthened the halo while the two ends of the bones were trying to heal to each other.

We had an ice storm and everybody was out with chain saws clearing off their property. I did a stupid and cut the $#!tt out of my little finger. I’m sitting in the ER feeling like an idiot when the doc comes in. I sheepishly suggest that I’m the biggest idiot he’s had to deal with today. He laughs and relates the following story.
On the same day I was there, a man had come in with a chain saw injury. A tree had iced up and fallen on his driveway and he was attempting to cut it up and move it. He slipped on the ice and the chain saw, still running, landed on his thigh inflicting a serious injury.
He asked the doctor if the injury was serious. The doctor answered by saying. “Do you see those white splinters at the bottom of this 5 inch deep cut and the splintered ends of your thigh bone?”

The guy answered, “ I’m sorry, I can’t see them. I’m blind.”

In snow country reliabliy each winter someone decides to that the best way to clear the clogged discharge shute is to put their hand into the shute. I'll just note that they don't shut the machine off before doing so.

That's like checking if my lawn mower blade is sharp while it is running. Geez...

Pretty much. You also have to consider that snow blowers, like lawn mowers, have "dead man" switches. Which can be defeated with cheap plastic clamps as available at Harbor Freight.

I used to do my post winter maintenance in the spring and one of the things I'd do was start it up and lock the auger handle down. That way I could walk in front of the snow blower and look to see if the augers were turning properly. Not something I'd do when I was clearing snow.

I ain't ever had anything to do with a snow blower but I figure where the snow goes in I should keep fingers and toes away from it.

 

[GaryS]

Not only where the snow goes in, but where the snow comes out.

I recall reading about a lawn mower manufacturer forced to add a warning telling the operator not to pick it up by the deck to use as a hedge trimmer because someone had done just that.

Kinda like McDonalds has to put their coffee in a cup that says Hot Liquid on it.

My Mother went through chemo, she said it sux.
I took radiation for my prostate cancer. 100% clear.
