what are the chances of this

[Blu Du]

this is what happened to my boy 2 yrs ago he was 5 then. i got a new champion auotmatic trap thrower. so were down in the gravel pit shooting and he has the foot lever in his hand throwing the clays for me and he is to my right behind me. I stop and reload and he says dad i want to stand on the other side, so he runs out about 15' out in front of the trap throw and he presses the button as he is running and the clay hits in the back of the head and explodes. three minutes before that he took of his stocking cap so his ear muffs would fit better. he startes screaming instantly which is a good sign he ended up with a 1" gash and a headache. It could of ended alot differrent and i think about it all the time. I really got a good azz chewing from the wife Too. be safe

lucky your old lady didnt take the shotgun to you....they are very protective of the kids...but honestly..kids are kids..they will get hurt..it is how they learn...and yea you as a parent just have to hope they dont get hurt bad..and take as many precautions as you can..helps if you do things the right way all the time..they learn from you..

LMAO. Sorry to laugh at your kid getting hurt...but seriously what are the chances. Too bad you didn't have video of it. That sounds like something that I would have done to myself growing up. I sure hope the rest of his luck in life is better than mine!

Glad he was not hurt worse.

Glad things didn't get as bad as they could have!

Like others said, we all flirted with disaster a few times growing up.
I was raised on a farm, and the 1st thing we did with any new equipment was remove any safety guards that made greasing or maintenance harder.
I still have all my fingers! Wow!

I could bore you with many "close call" stories.

Basically the first thing that i do to any machine I own. Both my lawn mowers have had many alterations done to them so I don't need to shut down the blades when i walk away, or go in reverse.

I understand they have them there to keep idiots from hurting themselves but dam do they put alot of them on there.

At least your taking your kid outdoors to do things like shoot and expierence the outdoors, He'll probably be a good kid, It's the one who's parents let walk around downtown with baggy pants and a sideways ball cap trying to look like Michael Vick that worry me. They'll be the ones who end up in trouble.

EXACTLY !!! I work at a homecenter/lumberyard, every spring they hire a new yard crew, they drag some kids out of their mommies basement where they have been holed-up playing video games in the dark for the last 10 years and throw them on a forklift after 30 min of training and then they wonder why they f--k things up !!!!!!!!!!!
