I thought that since no one else would step up and teach PPOT how to NOT properly use a pressure washer, here is my contribution:
1. Make sure you're not wearing gloves
2. Be VERY stupid and believe you can hold a wash mitt and clean it with the pressure washer
3. Let pressure washer slip in your hand and almost take off pinky when it hits the finger for less than 1 second.
And to make sure I get my point across, here is a visual of what will happen if you follow my easy steps:
What the picture doesn't show is the pain my finger is in. Not right when it happened, no way, it gave me a sense of "it might not be that bad"...no the pain came about 20 minutes later when my brain caught up to the fact that I almost cut off my damn finger.
Yes, I know I was stupid, I have washed the mitt this way before and apparently have gotten lucky all those other times. Luckily I had a fairly wide tip on or I might be writing this from the ER with my pinky tip in ice!
How messed up is this...my first thought was to get a picture for PPOT right after it happened
