Transcript – Safety Videos Woody’s Words – Week 1- Intro to Woody
Good day. Woody here. Can I be a little bit blunt with you for a minute? I hate the fact that I’m in a wheelchair. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been in this thing for over 20 years and I’ve had a pretty good life since my accident. I’ve probably done some things that I never would have done. I’ve got a beautiful family, kids, nice place to live, but I don’t think there’s been one day since my accident that I hadn’t wished, it hadn’t happened. It’s not big things that get to me. I get more pissed off at the little things that I can’t do. Like I can’t reach things that are up high. I can’t get to some places in my wheelchair, and I can’t lift things that are very heavy. So I really don’t like the fact that I’m in this thing.
Now, what I want to do is show you how my accident changed my life and I want to do it by releasing some short videos that’ll show you how my life’s probably a little bit different to yours. So I want you to join me, watch my videos each week. I reckon if we can share this information, if you knew how an injury would change your life, you probably put a little bit more effort and take a little bit more time with some of the choices and some of the risks that we all take. So let’s work together on this. I reckon we can stop people from getting hurt. I’m Woody, until next time, take care.
