A friend's 17 year old son died doing this.

Mixing Miralax in coffee results in BM that literally no exaggeration covers entire bed, 90% of patient, and floor around bed.........Maybe I should have said only mix miralax in coffee if sitting on BSC or commode....believe me when I tell you no one wants to clean up the ensuing mess

I have done this before - WHACK! Right in the back of the head. Can you say concussion? And with long hair, it gets caught in the blades! Could be a tragedy. I also got my hair sucked into a leafblower, even though my hair was in a ponytail. Long ponytail.
My friend, my neighbor, and my daughter have all had their long hair caught in devices. My friend got hers caught on the Teacup ride at the fair. It ripped off her scalp from the tip of her nose to the back of her neck. She had to have 2000 stitches, a new nose, and has a permanent brain injury. My neighbor got her hair caught in a brochure-folding machine and it scalped her. My daughter got her hair caught in a shoeshine machine (the brushes were spinning and she bent down to see it close up), a large gyroscope toy, and the knobs on the dresser when she fell out of bed.
