AN ACCIDENT WAITING To HAPPEN

Mick Wilary is a very unlucky man. Over the last 30 years he has had more accidents than anyone else in Britain. He has broken fifteen different bones, and has had more than 30 injuries.

Mick works on a farm and often works with dangerous machines and animals, so some of his accidents have been very serious. In 2010 a machine trapped him and he broke both his legs. He had three operations and spent six months in hospital.

When he was a boy, he fell off a horse. He also got hurt badly when he got home one day, tripped over a cat, fell down the stairs and banged his head.

While working on the farm, he broke his fingers with a hammer and crashed a tractor. But he hasn't only had accidents with machines and animals. 'I'll never forget when Mick stepped on a potato, slipped and broke both his ankles.' his wife Evelyn says.

But Mick has never complained or got angry about his injuries. 'It's important to keep going and get better when these things happen.' he says with a smile. And his wife agrees. 'It's a bit of a joke.'

FACT! In the UK, 33% of all serious injuries happen when someone slips on or trips over something. The government believes it costs hospitals over £100 million to help these people.
