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.
- Resist the urge to apply the brakes or jump off when sliding out of control down a wet hill in a tractor.
- 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.
- Don't piss on electric fences.
