Due to unbelievable restraint on my part, everyone was OK. ;-)

Was any clothing protecting the leg?

Beat me to it.
I see park workers using weed whackers with guards removed.
You get what you deserve ;)

Guard was on but alas no PPE (I was not the operator). The guard only protects the operator anyway. This was a front on "assault".

I believe some people pay to get marks like that ;)

Gracious, that looks painful. What did you do, for aftercare? Bunch of triple antibiotic with praxamine, and a fistful of ibuprophen?

Did you make up some new cuss words? Not to worry. It will probably feel better once it quits hurting.

Yeah, I am watching roofers putting on a new roof on my neighbors house. It has a 12/12 roof and is very high, they are scurrying around wearing sneakers and one little ladder, no safety gear, no safety ropes and harnesses. I have been expecting one to slide off the roof any time, but so far they haven't had an accident. I do believe they are working contrary to local labor laws and contrary to the Workman's Compensation Act.

BTDT, when the bump feeder fed out more line than I expected. Hit me again while I was flailing around looking for the swarm of bees I thought was attacking me. Thankfully, only an electric and not a gas, but still hurt like hell and drew blood. I can still just barely see the welts, several months later.
I wear long pants now, for the 2-3 times a year I bother to weed-whack.

A runaway garget. I hope the operator was not "texting".

Not to mention common sense. OSHA calls for strips called chicken boards. It's just a violation if you get caught, or someone goes to the hospital.

a string trimmer with the guard on it is pretty much worthless for ANY kind of real production work. I will go with the boots and long jeans being a good idea.

My stihl would have amputated the leg. Or at least needed stitches.

usually a little gumout carb cleaner and get on with the day would be the order for such a scratch.

I built a shed, years ago. In my ignorance, made a nice
12/12 roof. You better believe I used boards nailed on!- Vote on answer
