Until the lawnmower rolls over your toes…

And had fallen into the abyss. Halfway slowed down by a leafy branch, digging into his cheek. The surgeon remembers: “He came in here like a Maori chief on the warpath. With bush green across the face.” The mishap was repaired with a few stitches.

The list of frivolities can be extended indefinitely. In fact, almost everyone has more or less narrowly missed an accident.

• Barfuß Rasenmähen? Who does that?! But soft grass gives bare feet that cozy feeling. Until the lawn mower rolls over its toes on slopes…

• Der Rasenmäher stoppt, Grass blocks the blades. The device is tilted to the side. Because it is persistently silent, don't even pull the plug. The hand reaches for the stalks, at the same time, the knives begin to rotate again. The hand not only looks hospitalized. She feels that way too.
A few more smacks- and bullet points from the horror list? Please:

• Die Kettensäge wird beim Zerkleinern von Kaminholz mit dem Bein abgestützt.

• Um mal kurz die Deckenleuchte auszuwechseln, got to

you don't turn off the fuse right away…
• Und was heißt hier überhaupt „vernünftiges Schuhwerk“, if you just want to climb a ladder. Sandals are much more comfortable anyway.

No one is free from this carelessness.

Especially your own four walls offer a dangerous pseudo-security against any adversity. "It makes the most sense, In the event of an emergency, you immediately make your way to the nearest hospital”, according to the head of surgery in Pinneberg. "Then that's the best place to find out, whether only a special clinic can solve the problem and which one is responsible.”

No matter how macabre it may sound and reminiscent of scary crime scenes: The afflicted must bring everything with them to the hospital, what fell victim to knives and saw teeth. The ones for example.

They are the top of the stats. Because in three quarters of all accidents they are, who are left behind.
