I readyour history on falling TVs yesterday , and I wanted to show you this picture of me , geezerhood four . That ’s when a TV attempt to belt down me .
I was simply trying to put the outback back on top of our 27″ Mrs. Henry Wood console Magnavox video , when I slide while climbing onto the tv set cabinet .
Instead of just fall to the flat coat , I grabbed the top edge of the Magnavox as I get onto down to the ground . I come to the ground first , then the TV survey with one of the corner squarely landing on my forehead . The television slue off my capitulum , taking about a quarter of my scalp with it .
The sitter — my parents were at the movies — key out it as “ if someone had open up my scalp like they would spread out a banana peel . ” I ran around the star sign holler in impact , but the sitter — who later became my female parent ’s good friend — did everything proper , keep her calm , and called 911 .
One hundred and forty - four stitch by and by , and enough infirmary ice cream to please any 4 - year - old boy , I was on my means to a steady recovery . I had some irregular nerve and brawn damage that affected thing like my eyebrows , but I was favourable enough to have no long - last scathe that I ’m aware of . I ’m obviously incredibly prosperous that I ’ve been leave alone unscathed short of a very large mark across my forehead . As you know , there are many other people that have n’t been as lucky .
I would roll in the hay it if you could post my tale and my ikon in Gizmodo . It would be corking if my story can help make other citizenry cognisant of the significant dangers of untethered CRTs or mat covert TVs .
flick to viewThanks Russell . Hopefully , this will make more masses aware ofthis problem .
