Blimey, I had no idea children had been injured and maimed by church bells, or that they had been used as weapons against our emergency services going about their duties, with intent to injure or worse.
That’s the last time I sit and enjoy the bells at Buckfast Abbey! 😳😳
Quote: PubMed reports that “Seventy nine injuries [among bell ringers] were identified both from review and by advertisement in Ringing World. The incidence of injury among 221 ringers identified by postal questionnaire was 1.8% a year.” It concluded that “Although sonerous, bell ringing can be dangerous and occasionally even fatal. Doctors should be aware of the dangers to which campanologists expose themselves.”
Quote: a group of bell ringers in Somerset who had to run for it after a bell broke loose and crashed through two floors of the bell tower. They’d noticed that one bellwas hard to ring, so they gave its rope a good hard yank.
Act now ban Chuck Berry !!!!!!
