How to avoid snowblower injuries

Well here I am, just finishing my first round of clearing snow from my driveway this year and I once again escaped without losing a hand or some fingers.

How did I do it?

Its pretty simple really. I'm surprised nobody has ever thought of it before.

You know how they say never stick your hand into a snowblower, ever?

Well....basically, I don't stick my hand in a snowblower...Ever!

It sounds as easy as it can be, but every year people do it for some reason and WHAM!..out comes a bloody stump and suddenly they can't turn a doorknob any more.

That's what broomsticks or other peoples hands are for!

These are probably the same people who stick fingers in boiling water to test it before dropping a lobster in.
