i like the safety provisions you've taken for the kid with the gloves and the glasses.

i've gotten to the point where i wont chop without glasses.those pieces come flying off real fast and are sharp or jagged.

i've been hit in the eye enough times but have been lucky.sooner or later it'll get ya good.i got an eye injury once and was the worst pain ever.i' rather break a bone any day instead.

gloves and a lanyard are great to.i always use gloves but mostly for blisters when chopping.
