Freak/accident

There’s a guy who works in the supermarket who broke his wrist getting stuff out of his tumble dryer. I’m not kidding. He was trying to be helpful around the house but isn’t used to dealing with laundry. He could only see one of his favourite socks fall into the basket, so he stuck his hand into the drum and gave it a spin to see if there was a lonely sock clinging to the side somewhere. As you may know, those things build up momentum and spin on their own, and as he gave it a good shove, he caught his fingers on one of the ridges that bring the ‘tumble’ effect to the ‘dryer.’ He didn’t move them out of the way in time so the drum took them with it and it bent his hand backwards and cracked a bone in his wrist. Bless him. 
He plays in goal for a local Sunday football team too. So he’s off work for a couple of weeks and can’t play sport for a couple of months just because he tried to dry his socks. Fate is a curious beast, is it not?
And I’m aware that I am recounting a possibly depressing story in the month when I promised to remain upbeat. So to end on a positive note - at least it didn’t happen to me!
