He received a cut that required stitches to close.Ĭostco paid for the medical treatment, and then fired him for violating safety rules. The machine activated and the wood struck him in the head. He had good intentions - he tried to remove the wood. This guy saw wood stuck in a piece of equipment he wasn't trained on.

We have started giving a quick welcome-to-PHOF greeting that includes an exact 45 word eplanation of "The three simple rules for children" to any arriving group that includes kids. We have a series of signals and code words that do NOT include any negitive names, like Tard, or any racial epitats.
