Well, whiles its not a big slash, its in a danerous area. Lotsa big veins there.
In my less than 40 years doing this engineering scrapping etc..
I cut my arm once on a jagged rip in a steel car roof. Tied it up and kept on going, hardly a mark now.
And, slit thru the knuckle of left hand with grinder disc while putting it back in the holder, 3 stiches, nothing.
Squashed the end of my thumbnail in a lathe, removed broken off nail, that's it.
Over cut with a axe while chopping wood, into side of foot, 8 stitches, aged 13.
Never broken a bone ever.
All other injurys have been inflicted by others...
But? Using a boxcutter to remove a tyre? How? Why?
Three thing are going to cut you while scrapping, boxcutters... using a axe....sheet stainless steel.
And the time you hurt yourself is, the last thing you do...OK, its a funny, but at the end of the day, when you are about to give up or about to finish.. That's when you are going to slip.
If someone else hurts you, its always after you just said "Don't do xxxxx.
And that's what they do.. just what you told them what not to do...
So I never say the word "Don't" anymore, ever. I always rephrase it as "never".
I think the word 'don't' wrong wires the brain.
