Im not preaching to anyone, but if reminding everyone to follow safety guidelines when you're working on your f6b, or working around the house saves you from an accident, then its worth posting . I think a lot of bike owners are also the type that are pretty hands on with most aspects of their lives. Kind of the philosophy of "if I can do it, then why would I pay someone else to do it" Although, as I get older the paying someone to do it becomes more appealing.
I have been working on a project on my house for the last few months and got a little careless with safety. I can only blame myself. I got in a hurry to get the job done, and could have taken two minutes to anchor my ladder properly and I would not be writing this. I would post pictures, but they're too gory to post. I ended up in the emergency room with a seven inch gaping wound staring at the bone and muscles below the skin. To say the least my project is now on hold for a few week, so I did not save anytime in the long run. The end result could have been a lot worse, so I was lucky that I only ended up with the injuries that I have.
Anyway............Keep safety in mind first..........This was my eye opener and maybe this post will be a reminder for someone else when they are involved in a home or work project. I just learn things the hard way sometimes.
