No ;

Stumpy was a guy who didn't follow the laborious safety rules .

My buddy was the -only- guy they could find to do the brush changing job, the guy who trained him was elderly and wanted some time off .

Some people grasp safety easily, many don't .

I do now after the -one-time- I failed to use eye protection and got steel chips int my then one good eye .

They're still there and the pain filled misery I went through then made me a believer in safety .

Stumpy was lying in a hospital bed mostly naked and was crispy .
