I always force myself to read the 'latest accident' messages. Keeps reminding me to not take shortcuts.

Your original message was worded in such a way that I have just stayed away from this thread. While I agree with the intent you express in this followup message, your first one seemed to just open up a can of worms - "Hey, just how gory & ugly a mess have you made of things? I want to hear all about it?"

My uncle backed over his 2 year old child's head with the farm truck. They drove him to the hospital with a caved in head, dead, themselves. I can think of nothing worse than that. I really don't want to talk about it, either. (If anyone else does, maybe do some soul-searching on the direction of your life?)

A classmate of mine was converted to be left-handed. His right hand they dumped in the grove in little flakes, along with the rest of the silage in the wagon. He was 4 at the time.

My neighbor years ago had a buck saw come off a tractor & slice off his leg. He bled to death while his young son was trying to hold his belt around his dad's stump.

To me these are gory stories, and I don't see the value of discussing them in this discussion area. It seemed like you are more after shock value, than educational value. I took it as you wanted the bad details.

Now, we could talk about how dangerous buck saws are, and if you have a home-made one be sure the arbor nut screws on so that it always tightens itself. Really bad things can happen if it does not....

Or we can talk about how dangerous any machinery is when kids are around.

I see good value in that.

But I don't see value in just discussing what the 'worst injury' ever was. Yuk.
