I picked up a copy of Readers Digest at my Doctor's office this morning. It contained an article describing an incident that occurred at a car wash. A woman was wearing a long scarf wrapped around her neck a couple of times and ends that nearly reached the ground.
She got too close to the machinery running the brushs and the end of her scarf caught in the gears. She was dragged up tight to the equipment and could not extricate herself.
A male patron of the car wash saw the situation, jumped out of his car, and pulled "a Puma folding knife with a 3 1/2 inch blade." He was able to get the knife between her head and the gears and cut the scarf.
The woman was unconscious so he administered mouth to mouth and revived her. She had scrapes and bruises and serious burns/abrasions around her neck but she recovered completely.
RD had pictures of the woman and the man with the knife. I know from submitting an article that the Digest is very thorough in documenting the articles they print. I didn't think to write down the issue of the magazine.
Just another reason to keep a good edge on your pocket knife.
