I have seen and had a few accidents-time goes into freeze-frame for me when I've been falling or bad **** happening....not always and not for everyone, but adrenaline is a very powerful drug that kicks in in milliseconds,if you're already pumped this can be used to your advantage... That's what I mean by stay switched on! The dummy had a few whole seconds at the beginning, and that vid is worst case scenario- things don't always happen that fast... Let's hope never at all!!!

Hahaha!

I've been in a few pickles, but I've always weirdly thought about damage to property rather than myself as it happens.

Saw, wire, shed, fence whatever.

The most dangerous part of your day is driving to and from work, we should all remember that.

 

That is a weird thing because hurting is personal.

Only yesterday I lost control driving on a country lane on ice. I recovered it several times as you do then it twitched again.

 

Going through my mind as I headed for the hedge was "oh no not the front end its expensive." A grabbed handbrake and flung it round so the rear hit the hedge. No damage as the flat back end of the van just spread the weight and the front end remained on the road. I just drove off.

A good result on this occasion, my brother lost a finger instinctively trying to save a hose and coupling.

 

We are stupid, but I hate the paperwork of accidents and having to sort things.

 

It probably comes with a good loyal work ethic. Would rarely happen in lazy reluctant work environments.

 

" oh goody the thing is about to get trashed, that means no more work today!"
