My .02 cents worth.

That's not a joke! Thats the very first thing my Granddad taught me when I first started running a sickle bar mowing hay. I know a lady who did have the end of her finger cut off by one. Open your hand up, don't grab the bar, and keep your fingers to the rear of the bar when folding!! Good advice Dave!
