Medical Lake Man Severly Injures Self During Home Project
MEDICAL LAKE, Wash. — Spring is officially here in the Inland Northwest and with the warmer weather comes a list of home improvement projects to complete.Before you start on your projects, a Medical Lake man warns people to be extra cautious when working on garage doors.”I had no idea, I had no idea that it was dangerous,” stated Christian Best, who was taken by ambulance Saturday after attempting to repair his garage door.On Saturday, Christian Best installed an electric garage door opener at his home in Medical Lake.To finish the project he wanted to move the torsion springs on top of the door.As he was loosening up the bolts on the springs, Best stated one of the springs shot out and violently struck his arm with extreme force.”It was like bam, like a shot and I jumped off the ladder and I looked down and you see this great huge gash and blood just everywhere,” stated BestBest, who is a medic with the Washington Air National Guard, tried to remain calm and stop the bleeding as his roommate called 911.”It really came at me, like a buzz saw, it whipped around and gauged out my arm,” stated Best.Best was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where he received 20 stitches to close up the 3 1/2 inch gash.According to a Harvard University study, more people are expected to spend money remodelling their homes this year than in the previous five years.The study indicates overall spending on home projects will increase by 9.2 percent.With more people expected to work on their homes this year, Best hopes his story will inspire others to research projects before they begin.”It’s just something that people do not speak about,” stated Best.”No one states the springs are hazardous in your garage. Nobody ever brings that up, so I just want to save somebody else from lying in their own blood in their garage,” stated Best © 2011 KXLY.com. All rights reserved.
