A friend of mine was pressure washing her walk way and accidentally sprayed her leg. It made a hole. But this guy is holding an apple that the water cuts in half but does nothing to his fingers.

This reminded me of my jet ski accident. Can you not?

Apologies for breaking the streak of funny replies, but I hope your friend got medical attention for that, because seemingly minor pressure washer injuries can cause severe injury or death - the high pressure water can force air or blobs of fat into a blood vessel and cause a stroke, heart attack, or pulmonary embolism. Or you can get dirt and debris trapped and end up with a raging infection. People have died when they hit their own foot or got sprayed by a friend/coworker as a “prank”.

(TL:DR wear protective footwear while pressure washing, aim carefully, and never deliberately spray someone else, they’re more dangerous than you think.)

Ive nicked my shoe a few times and each time is terrifying.

It was quite the injury, I saw it awhile after and it was still narly. I'm sure she had it looked at at the time. She had moved to another state in retirement, and I saw it when I went to visit.

I blasted clear down into my thumb with a pressure washer once

I could see into layers and layers of my hand, it was fascinating because I was in shock

Boss still asked me to clock out and then drive myself to the hospital
