[If I may say so...] The mindset of 'at least lightly' tapping the stone bridge before crossing

Good evening.

Thank you for reading.
This is Slowly.

It happened when I had to work with a vehicle I don't usually use.

I was loading tools and materials while checking that the Unic crane arm was protruding from behind the driver's seat toward the cargo bed.
As I loaded from the ground, the space became limited, so I climbed up to organize the cargo bed.

Then, with a dull thud, I hit my head on the Unic crane arm.
It had been quite a long time since I hit my head that hard.


While crying out in pain, I realized two things:
1. I wasn't used to using it, and
2. I misjudged the distance.
That was it.

'Not used to using it'
People often act as they usually do.
Unless something major happens, they tend to be overconfident.
They assume they are in a safe zone and forget that they are not used to the situation.

'Misjudging the distance'
Looking from the ground and looking from the cargo bed are completely different.
I must not have had a good sense of distance.
Depending on the position, the line of sight is completely different.

When using things you don't usually use, unexpected events can occur.
It is truly a case of 'carelessness is the greatest enemy'.
I felt that I needed to be more careful than usual.

In the end, the cause was 'inattention'.

Danger lurks even in casual actions.

'Pointing and calling' is likely effective.

What is important is to have the mindset of 'at least lightly' tapping the stone bridge before crossing so that you don't have to go through the pain.
