I ruined Thanksgiving for the GF and myself. Took garbage out to garage in the morning and when putting bag into larger bag, knocked snow shovel over and "bumped" the corner into shin. Went back into house and while standing in the kitchen when GF came out, she let out a ear piercing scream. Looked down to see a large puddle of blood on floor. Pulled up (navy blue) sweat pant leg to see blood squirting out of my leg like a squirt gun. Must have somehow hit a vein. Pant leg, sock and moccasin was soaked with blood. I never felt it at all. Took almost half an hour to get bleeding stopped. Ruined two throw rugs too. I told her to go to her sister's for dinner but she refused, saying what would I do if it started bleeding again. Fortunately, it hasn't bled since.
Dude that sucks. Was it an aluminum shovel? One more reason to hate those, other than its amazing ability to not glide on concrete, and its amazing ability to have a huge quantity of snow to stick to it like glue when you go to throw it.
Ignore CA.
