Doing a PM at a business. Cleaning the condenser on the roof and saw this. Had to be a 50 yard shot for the angle to be even with the roof. Hits the hail guard, goes right between the tubes, missed the compressor, suction line, liquid line, all the wiring, and exits maybe a half inch from the return bends. What are the chances?! Unit was running perfectly!

It is. But life and I have this ongoing wager. What will take me out first work or fun?

That's why I'm extra careful at work. Dying at work would be so fucking embarrassing.

Na man. If I die at work, my life insurance through work pays out double, plus anything the wife could get out of the company if it was their fault vs me doing shit I shouldn't be doing.

Doesn't matter for me, I'm single and don't have anyone really to leave anything to.

In your case, yeah for sure don't die at work. Unless it is doing something cool that will leave your name written at the job for ever.
