I received a very
serious cut to my fore arm from a large mirror that broke while being
moved. The mirror was stopped or it would have sliced my forearm
off. It required 21 stitches to the muscle and
skin and under lying tissue. Sitting for very long (2 min) causes
shock like symptoms. I must lie down.

a 1/72 bi-plane.
