[Ian Leach]

Hope he recovers quickly Mozza, I know it's bad but he's very lucky

[slippery]

its a stark reminder, when you work with really (potentially) dangerous tools all the time, it's easy to afford a lot less care to the day to day tools, i have made real messes of my hands before, but never with a power tool.

i stabbed myself in the wrist and sent the stanley blade in all the way to the hilt, very nearly severing my tendons and my artery a few years ago, and i have cut down to the(and into the) bone twice in almost the same place on my left hand whilst cutting timber with a handsaw, again nicking the tendons.

 

this poor sod was "only doing a bit of a hedge with electric clippers", not running a ms880 over head 100ft up a tree

 

hope he heals quick

[Tommy_B]

That is pretty grim!! Hope he heals up soon and no lasting damage.

[Rob D]

That's really nasty Mozza. Amazing how these things always seem to happen with the smaller type jobs.

Awful, poor chap. I have two mates in the landscaping/grounds maintenance game who have done similar this year. One has healed nicely, the other lost a finger tip. I caught myself on the thigh last year & I thought that was painful enough!
