Bit like the classic, 'I've bought your husbands jacket back for you'. 'Where's he ?'. 'Erm, he was in it at the time'. Darkly humerous. I'll post OT since there are many places where workers don't get safety gear, much less training.

Don't look now, but that kid with the slingshot is down there and it looks like he's got longer rubber tubes on it.
