| Steel Toe-Cap Amputation |
Steel-toe boots are more dangerous to your toes than normal boots when a heavy weight is dropped
on them. Whereas a normal boot would just crush your toes, a steel toe would curl and crumple in, cutting
your toes off.
BUSTED
Using similar tests to those used to test steel toe boot certification, Adam and Jamie determine that
your toes are much safer with steel toe boots than without. There was no toe-cutting curling of the
steel toe, and even using a blade attachment didn't work, only glancing off the steel toe to cut right
above where it ended. |
