It's Russia. No OSHA, no insurance, no nothing.

About 100 years ago, we were in the same boat. I'm not sure when safety guards started to become common, but I don't remember many back in the 1940s.

it used to be pretty common place in the late 60's, for farmers around these parts to clear out a fence line with dynamite , to remove the stumps.

I only saw it happen once, but remember hearing it four or five times.

many a time we went to a farm auction and while
wandering about the out buildings, you would see a wooden crate with 12 or 15 sicks in it , just laying next to the roofing nails and rat bait
