Dave I suspect you are wearing an inferior make of safety boot. Are they made in the Peoples
republic af Chi...... The OH&S is not so high there. It has been demonstrated in scientific places that at times the poor labourer in the safety boot making factory doesn't know left from right. you may have got a pair with the toecaps back to front.   Were you wearing one on each foot? As for the sheep surely she would be more accustomed to gum boots!!!! Keep safe Dave and don't forget the alfoil beanie. That may have protected you from this misfortune.

Terro.

Nice one Rolly. I used to wear something similar, without the toecaps when driving IS trucks. We called them Japanese Flying Boots then. No offence to any Japanese that happen to be flying at the moment.

oh nice!!! I tell you of my near death experience and you make light of it,

if I had been dismounting the equipment in the other direction I would have been catapulted straight into the fence

then it would have been hair teeth and eyeballs all down the barbed wire!

my steel caps are blundstones!! wouldnt wear anything else apart from rm williams

the last time I wore thongs was in the adelaide city to bay run, I rounded a corner at an explosive speed and blew the inside thong at a great rate of knots,

not pretty I ended up in amongst the spectators and was saved by a lovely young paramedic who refused to give me mouth to mouth no matter how much I demanded it!
