Just one moment's lapse of concentration and 'zippppppppppp'.
This is what happened to a pilot on Saturday whilst adjusting his
60-size 2-stroke.
Three fingers were badly cut requiring stitching. Surgery was required on one finger to repair a damaged tendon.
Fortunately one of the Club's first-aiders, Billy McC was quickly at hand, (no pun intended) and the wounds were expertly cleaned and dressed.
The patient was then taken to hospital for treatment and is expected to make a full recovery.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS
Try not to become distracted when working on your engine/motor.
Know where the first-aid box is located. You might consider keeping your own.
Don't fly on your own in case of an accident.
Make a Will.
