A seemingly ordinary day turned tragic for 72-year-old Krabi mechanic, Saman, as a routine lawnmower repair went horrifically awry yesterday. Nestled in Ban Khao Thiam Pa, Krabi, his repair shop was a hub for fixing tools, chainsaws, and lawnmowers. However, the day took a fatal turn when a simple task turned catastrophic.

 

The Krabi Pitak Pracha Foundation Rescue Unit responded to a desperate call. Upon arrival, they were met with a devastating scene: Saman lay unconscious, gravely injured with severe bleeding from his arm. Despite their rapid efforts to transport him to Krabi Hospital, he succumbed to his injuries en route. Doctors confirmed that shrapnel from a lawnmower blade had severed a major blood vessel, resulting in fatal blood loss.

 

 

The tragedy began that morning when a foreign customer requested the blades of a push lawnmower be shortened. While sharpening the blades, a tip unexpectedly snapped off, piercing Saman’s arm. In immense pain, he called out to his wife for help, collapsing before her as she arrived—a heart-breaking conclusion to his life of dedicated service.

 

This incident starkly reminds us of the hidden perils within routine tasks, emphasising the inherent risks faced by those, like Saman, devoted to craftsmanship.
