I’m really glad that he covered hearing and eye protection from the start. I used to hate people telling me to wear safety goggles and ear muffs, but now I always do. The first time you ever have anything fly up from your mower and hit your anywhere near your eyes, it’s a really scary feeling and it makes you understand why they’re so important. Good video!
I used to hate …
I used to hate listening to people telling me to protect my eyes and ears. A couple months ago, I had a little hearing damage in one ear after I edged my lawn. It was extremely uncomfortable. Luckily, I have recovered all of my hearing. Now I always use ear plugs and shatter resistant sunglasses. Good luck.
