Sad But True
I don't know about you, but all the packaging these days drives me totally nuts. I didn't realize, though, just how dangerous it could be:
As gift-giving season is under way, USAT tells the story of a Marine who survived two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, only to have to rush to the hospital this summer when he tried to open a package that contained a printer cable. Apparently, as packaging is becoming more complex, this is a common problem and "the week after Christmas, emergency rooms across the nation are flooded" with people who had some sort of accident opening up gifts. If it happened to a Marine, it could happen to any of us, so USAT publishes some tips on ways to open up gifts and minimize the risk of injury.
Be careful out there!
