What? I jet wash in my open toed shoes and don’t see the issue. I’m jet washing the floor and nowhere near my feet.

i have always been taught that its better to he safe with pressure... anything.

if you want nightmare fuel, (to be extremely clear, this is gore, and very much not safe for work; assuming you're not working at an ER, or hospital). search up "Degloved hand" or "Degloved foot". those images are why I wear steel toed boots with pressure washers, and thick kevlar gloves when working on high pressure water lines. I do not want to lose a toe, or a finger, ever.

Ok. That was nightmare fuel, especially since I’m recovering from a fasciectomy on my pinky.

I’ll not be wearing open toed shoes again, thanks friend.

I remember when Jimmy Fallon got his wedding ring caught on a table and de-gloved his finger (ring avulsion). I figured I knew what that meant but googled it anyways. Do NOT google that! I’m not squeamish but that made my backside pucker a little.

In general I totally agree… well if it were a real power washer, yeah. But it’s electric for one, and two we don’t have a large amount of flow available so it’s safe with the larger nozzles. Now I wouldn’t put the 0° nozzle on it and point it at my toe, that would be bad.
