I thought I would bring this thread up again. Even though i'm quite safety aware accidents happen and now I have about 6 weeks to recover after slicing my wrist including tendons just for being impatient and not getting some lifting help or equipment and I have plenty of that but a split second your day to day or possibly your life can change I guess we just shouldn't take each day for granted.

Colin, so very true. I myself am recovering from a workplace related incident and have been hobbling around since early Dec 2015. We often take for granted our own mortality thinking that it will never happen to me. All too often we will follow the rules at work, only to break them at home, knowing better.
It is all too easy to be impatient, perhaps it's a man thing. I don't need help, don't be silly, it's not that heavy... Too little, too late after the fact. If you don't get it done today, get it done tomorrow and bring a mate to help!!!
Get well soon.

Hoping every thing will be mending soon Colin.

Same goes for Chris and Rob.

Measure twice...cut once...then count your fingers.

Never toooooo careful.

Cheers
