Thread: Play it safe ....WATCH YOUR FOOTING ....

Good to hear you're ok mate. OTOH if you do have to go, probably best to go doing what you love!

A local farmer had an accident 30 years back, he was checking stock in the rain. Slipped in the mud, knocked his head on a small rock and drowned in a 5cm deep puddle. Left behind a wife and three small kids. Bloody tragic but these stories are good reminders.

My avatar picture is me collecting palm seeds, back when young and even more stupid than now. No safety gear at all. Once the dependant kids started arriving I suddenly worked out how bad it would be if something went wrong. If I saw my kids doing that these days I'd be horrified (sometimes I was 15+m up the trees collecting seed).
