I swear on my mother this just happened. [View all]
I have two extension springs on my garage door. They were replaced in 2021. I know that because I remember talking to the installer about my brother dying.
He replaced the springs and left. I went out and looked at the job, and called him back because there were no safety cables running through the interior of the springs. He added the safety cables.
I've been having nightmares since I left the hospital last week. One of the first nightmares I had was that I was standing under my garage door, and the spring snapped and killed me because there were no safety cables on it.
I spent this morning blowing leaves, taking out the garbage, cleaning up downed limbs, etc.
When I was finished, I was standing directly under a spring and the fucking thing snapped while I was under it. Sounded like a shotgun blast. Would have taken my head off if there was no safety cable.
Garage door company is coming tomorrow to repair.
How in the FUCK can your mind anticipate these things?
