Well we were fortunate NOT to have any injuries last year. HOWEVER, I had a little "accident" with a cordless drill yesterday. I was screwing two wooden pieces together, when the screw split the wood horizontally and I stabbed my thumb with the screw bit. PAIN, SCREAMING, AGONY, BLOOD, etc etc etc. Well, it wasn't ALL that bad. Although I only have 9 fingers now (JOKING, I still have 'em all).
Moral of the story: Respect your power tools and they shall respect you.

PS: Nevermind about respecting the power tools, be AFRAID..."When power tools go wrong..."

Maybe FIRST could get a sponsorship from Ikea, and we all could get flat-packed field parts with pictoral assembly instructions. And then all the parts could have funny names. - sanddrag [more]
