Friday the 13th claims another victim...
One of our engineering staff - lets call him Kirk - came to the hangar to work on a big mobile lightboard that had some of the LED modules in need of repair.
He asked me to help him move the heavy trailer the lightboard was fastened on, to another hangar so he would have more room to work on it.
We tried moving the heavy monstrosity (loaded down even more with a row of lead-acid car batteries on it!), by hand and a small tow-bar-type contraption.
Bad idea.
he pulled, i pushed.
he lost his footing and slipped...almost getting run-over by the trailer in the process and splitting his head open on the asphalt.
Luckily, it was just a head-wound. An icepack quickly brought the swelling down to a somewhat dull THROB.
Rumour has it he'll be dressed up as John Kennedy this Halloween - you might see him driving by in the back of his rented 1961 Lincoln Continental Four-door convertible limousine.
The carnage as viewed later (complete with blood spatter in pink).
