It might be better this way. Daddy messed up and got hurt pretty badly. We don't want anyone else to get hurt like this - ever! OK?

Sort of suggests that putting objects with blades on high shelves might be a bad idea due to fumbling - falling - catching sequence.

Lotsa ways to get hurt. Hard to totally prevent it. But it's worth trying!


That's about how the safety talk will go

The shelf was 2 ft off the floor - I was kneeling down, looking under the desk for something that I thought might be under there, when I knocked over said shelf, and grabbed the plane....
