        Very lucky fellow, indeed!
AVM>Moral: wear heavy gloves and be careful out there.
        In the case of your friend, who cut his hand with the
        machete, it could have been ANY part of his body he
        might have chopped (off).  Had the blade deflected in
        another way, he could have sliced his foot, or his leg,
        or his neck, or....
        It reminds me of the number of (idiot) motorcycle riders
        I see during the warm summer months (both of them) who
        wear a helmet for protection, because it's the law, but
        who then wear shorts, t-shirt, slip-on shoes, and no gloves.
        If they wipe out they're gonna be so hurt they'll wish they
        hadn't worn the helmet and that it all would've been over
        quickly.
