Hate to hear of anyone getting injured from this hobby, except perhaps for the people that think its completely safe to modify their burners by jacking them up with pvc or conduit pipe.

That's it, I'm getting a brew hauler, unless someone can tell me where to get a milk crate.

For my current batch, I carried the carboy from outside, down the stairs and into the basement. Basement got too cold so I carried it up into the den. SWMBO didn't approve, so I carried it into the closet. I've been pushing my luck.

Once again, if I was worried about my health, I wouldn't be drinking beer in the first place. Just sayin.

+1 on the plastic buckets. The risk of injury is just a lot less. That, to me, outweighs any advantage glass carboys might have over plastic.

I feel bad for the kid, and hope he fully recovers.
