Chris have you done any post accident inspections for accidents involving either injuries or fatalities? I see your point of view, no disrespect when I say it is a really crappy thing to do. Over the last 20 years I have done at least 2 dozen injury accidents, amputated feet, smashed hands, broken arms and legs etc. I did 4 fatality inspections and out of those 4, two involved the operators still lying there dead, one was a decapitation that after 12 years i can still see that guys face 30 feet from his body, the other was a lady on a Model 80 Raymond that smashed her head between two overhead gaurds. Maybe thats why Im so biased when it comes to treating a person smiling standing on elevated forks, knowing how easy it is for them to be just another dead operator.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
