A sliver of metal saved me.

I don't know what everyone's beliefs are on here but I kinda believe everything happens or doesn't happen for a reason ...weather it's divine intervention or the universe's ultimate plan, when it's your time... It's your time. I've come close a few times with similar situations to you guys. I just split my head open at work this week on a rusted old tarp bar mount I seen a hundred times that day, the one time i stood up under it n it stabbed into the top of my head...the blood started to poor, I could stop the bleeding so off to the hospital I went. You can be as safe or cautious as you want, you can't catch every flaw. And if you are being safe and cautious everyone has a momentary lapse in judgement or just plan forgets some times, perfect example of that was my stupid head injury this week.
