    “A falling knife has no handle.”

    Your reflexes were faster than your brain, happens sometimes.

      Yep. Every time a blade is dropped I step back and push/pull anyone else away.

      I shave with a safety razor and made that mistake once. Thankfully a minor scratch but still scary.

        As a kid I got yelled at for breaking the iron, because it fell and I moved instead of catching it.

        Once my mom was done, I asked her if a new iron was cheaper than a hospital bill for two burned hands.

        She didn’t apologize for yelling, but she said I was right.
