Reply to comment by NotAMeatPopsicle in [WP] All your life, mythological beings have tried to pick you up. Childhood? Forced adoption. Teenagehood/Adulthood? Marriage. For example, selkies purposefully left their skins where you'd find them; banshees serenade you outside every night. Now at 30, you've learned why you attract them all... by MidgardWyrm

Those are the scary ones haha. If the logsplitters on its side, you're losing fingers and hands, if its vertical, you're losing that plus toes. Scary machines.

I ran one for 'bout eighteen years, all it takes is one slip, and its life-changing. In my case, I slipped on some ice, caught myself on the log with my left hand and unfortunately, the down lever for the hydraulics with my right.

The hydraulic control lever fell off at one point. I had to find the rod that held it in and it was still missing the pin that kept it from slipping out 😅
