Freak accidents... Whats your worst?

[big fell!]

Had a freak accident today... Tracking the chipper backwards in a woodland clearing and i have tracked over an old iron railing which was under the leaf litter. The railing somehow got caught between the tracks and the body of the chipper and shot out of the back at high speed. Luckily it missed my left eye and put 7 stitches just under it,cracking 2 teeth and knocking me out cold... Just doing a simple woodland thin and nearly came home with 1 eye.

 

Thanks for patching me up joe...

Tis indeed mate. Can't have been any worse than when little Jack used to bully you at work:001_tt2:

 

I think my biggest incidents have been loading unloading vans, truck and trailers..

 

Speedy recovery mate.

Somebody that i used to work was unhitching a wessex chipper (the ones with the moveable tow bar). He had not done the jocky wheel up and it slipped down. The R pin on the moveable toe bar went through his chainsaw boot. The chipper then discided to take off down the hill dragging him with it. He made it to the bottom of the hill with a bruised bum, and the chippers chute was snapped off. The R pin missed all of his toes.

Lady luck was smiling that day.
