Title: Tripping over own hose
Post by: Filllllll on November 23, 2005, 06:43:29 am

Is tripping over your own hose a Health & safety issue?
20 years working up a ladder,man & boy,never once fell off- 2 weeks with the poles & already tripped over twice!!

I know I'm not likely to kill myself tripping over the hose or any other gerden object but with all my cold weather clothing on if I fell in a pond I'd sink not swim!! :o

Thought about fixing a small mirror to the underside of my baseball caps beak-so when I'm lookind UP , I can also look down. :-\

Genius or what. ::)

Try fixing them on a crash helmet if your accident prone  :) along with the steel toecaps and knee pads !

My main problem with the hose is when I'm rewinding it back into the van the last bit always gets wrapped around my feet. I can be seen cursing at it as I try to free myself, which sometimes takes longer than you would like as people walk past smilling at me.
