Now, I suppose you think that old Harry is just messing about with this DIY disaster thing - but oh no!
I'm nothing if not careful with my research. And I've been doing some sniffing around with those in the know. And RoSPA - the Royal Society For The Prevention Of Accidents - have a list with the top 10 dangerous DIY implements:
1. Knives and scalpels (21,300 accidents in the UK each year);
2. Saws (15,100);
3. Grinders (6,400);
4. Hammers (5,800);
5. Chisels (3,900);
6. Screwdrivers (3,400);
7. Power Drills (3,000);
8. Axes (2,200);
9. Planes (2,100);
10. Welding Equipment (2,000).
What's more, injuries from tools and machinery are estimated to account for 87,000 of the 220,000 DIY injuries.
You mind how you go now.
