Life Tips for the Risk Averse
A few life tips for the risk-averse, things I have picked up along the way that you may find useful:
- Assume all car drivers want to kill you when you ride a motorbike
- A tractor wants to kill you every second you are around it, even when it’s off – remain conscious and deliberate in your actions
- When sliding out of control down a wet hill on a tractor, resist the urge to apply the brakes or jump off – accellerate into the slide to regain traction
- Never look up if someone talks to you when you are using a power saw – remain conscious and deliberate in your actions
- Treat all electrical wires as if they are live – even if you know you turned the main off
- To avoid jarring the wrist when digging in rocky ground always let go of the spade at the last moment
- The right tool for the job – a boot is not a tool
- Don’t climb fences with a rifle – pass it through the fence first
- Don’t piss on electric fences
