localzuk Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Just got back from A&E after putting my hand through a window. 2 xrays and 6 stitches later, I now have the fun of cleaning my room lol. IMAG0109 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! is a pic of the wound if anyone is interested... Not for the squeamish!!!
laserblazer Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Nasty, but could have been a lot worse. I really give the kids hell when I see them thumping into glass doors with their palms. I know the glass is toughened but one day it might not be. I hope it's not too painful for you.

The paramedics were worried I could've hit an artery or damaged tendons/nerves or something. Luckily not!

Get the land lord to put a window in that has something to hold onto that won't cause you to slip and put your hand(s) through the window again ie a handle with a rubber grib or something to that effect ? Am sure once is more then enough to smash a window and there are better ways of smashing them ie a hammer
localzuk Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 So how did your head end up through a window? Lol, it was my hand.
vikpaw Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 lucky you can operate a camera with your left hand and type fairly well one handed i know moving to an academy is bad, but really, there are better ways to cope with the stress.
bossman Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 @localzuk: Could this be cause for a "claim" on the landlords insurance? Down to negligence on his behalf? Or is this your way of pointing out that the house needs a regular window cleaner? You seem to have come off very lightly, it could have been far worse as you have said, thankfully your arm is ok and you are non the worst for your endeavour.

Lol, luckily, I can operate a mouse and keyboard fine still, just nothing more strenuous. @localzuk: Could this be cause for a "claim" on the landlords insurance? Down to negligence on his behalf?

Ah, i'm not a litigious type of person - its not done any real damage to me. I'll be happy for a new bit of glass and i'll ask for some handles to be added to the window too, and I'll rearrange my room a bit to make it easier for me to get to the window!
Gatt Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Lol, luckily, I can operate a mouse and keyboard fine still, just nothing more strenuous. Too much information
localzuk Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 Too much information Hahaha, by more strenuous, I mean 'carrying a shopping bag' or 'turning on a tap'.
