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.

DIY is a great thing.....what about the father and son who both died
when an angle grinder went wild ? ......I blame the gyroscopic effect
myself.....


A bloke in Hove, or somewhere on the South Coast was trimming a tree
in the font garden from a ladder which wifey was holding to 'steady it'.
He dropped the chain saw on her and killed poor lady.
