Life Changing (or Near Ending) Experiences

on the sparky front, I actually knew a guy who tested if light sockets were live by putting his fingers in them!! If it tingled he knew it was live

Obviously wasn't a bright spark then Mark

He never killed himself though Iain?

Yup, accidents waiting to happen comes to mind Mark !  As for the headline.....oh I am sure our forum members will come up with a few!

Not wires full of smoke but my earliest life changing experience involved a Mamod traction engine, an open pint bottle of meths and the living room carpet - I couldn't sit down for a while!

Hi Mark,

In one of our local hire shops they have hanging in the sales area the remnants of the protective clothing used when the operator of the chainsaw suffered from kickback. 

Trees out in the sticks tend not to nails or other pieces of metal grown into them unlike trees in peoples gardens.

Tan would let me use one either, can't say I blame her.
