On "Ambulance Code Red" (Channel 5) this week, one of the incidents was
a guy who had apparently been trimming guttering with what appeared to
be a circular saw blade mounted on an angle grinder.

There appeared to be no blade guard of any kind, and he had managed to
cut open his abdomen. 24 stitches were required, but there was no
mention of lasting effects, so he was extremely fortunate.


You know what they say about foolproof.

If you want horror stories, the guy who decapitated his wife when the
hedgetrimmer he was using fell from his hands while he was up a ladder
takes some beating.


Um, given the tooth spacing of a hedge trimmer bar, I would have said
€śimpossible€ť. Of course, like many urban legends, the story has probably
got distorted and it may not have been a hedge trimmer.
