I would be busted for sure on several counts ! The other day I had a few minutes to spare and decided to cut something right quick with my rotary cutter......too much trouble to turn on overhead lights decided to use natural light.....holding my fabric with my left hand rotary cutter in right, just sliced off the end of my fingernail ! Nothng hurt other than a very short fingernail but it sort of scared me into being more responsible ! Electrical is a biggie with me also; I have those outlet extender things in almost every outlet; however, I'm real good about unplugging them when they are aren't needed.........

Does anyone wonder why a lot of men don't dare do anything around the house that involves cooking, cleaning or just about anything else....too dangerous for them. Plus....they would need to read directions....heaven forbid.

Are you kidding??!! Have you taken a good look at those power tools they use? One of our neighbors cut off his thumb with a table saw - he use to wiggle the stump and say "they grow back real slow".

We would be writing up so many injury reports that we wouldn't get any quilting done. Burned or cut fingers in the kitchen, hot water or ironing burns in the laundry room, rotary blade cuts or pin stabs in the sewing room, tripping over sleeping dogs or cats anywhere else.
When you think about it, we live in a dangerous environment, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
