It's good to be reminded on occasion just how squishy the human body is. And how the loss of concentration for a fraction of a second can instantly change your life.
This one, thankfully, isn't bad. But after 3 hours of grinding a floor, I was tired and the goggles were getting a bit fogged, but I only had a little bit more to do, so I adjusted by grip with the grinder running and grabbed around the finger guard... ouch.
Lesson of the story. If you feel tired, just stop and take a break. If you can't see, clear you goggles. And never forget that every single tool has the ability to chew you up if you slip.
Fubar.
p.s. I'm all for a H&S forum section as Munching suggests here //www.diynot.com/forums/diy-di...up-asbestos-boards-unknowningly.387743/page-2
