Default garden safety

Sometimes people simply don't think things through, even the smallest task
can be dangerous if concentration or knowhow is lacking. The fork through
the wellie, the shears/secauteurs lopping off a fingernail or worse! the
mower kicking up the unseen stone, accidents happen so easily

A number of years ago, for a Summer job I was cutting a lot of hedges for a
farmer with an electric trimmer. I'd been doing the job for days - probably
a mile of hedges done. In one moment of lapsed concentration the blade swept
straight into my thigh. The same accident happened to my father another
year. I wonder how many people have stuffed an electric hedgecutter blade
into their leg - I'd guess quite a few?
