This is the first installment in director Jason Stutter’s trilogy of short cautionary tales. The ingredients are simple: playful kid, dangerous tool. The recipe for a comic screen gem? Mix them up. Here a son, left alone after watching his Dad chop wood, has a go at figuring out how a heavy axe works ... in bare feet. With the economy of a Buster Keaton set-up, Careful’s razor sharp sense of squeamish anticipation saw it become a festival success. It was apparently inspired by listening to Pink Floyd song ‘Careful with that axe, Eugene’ on a road-trip.

Yeah I can relate to that video.
Thinking back to my younger days-
Scars on left hand from my axe experience.
Right finger also needed tip sown on after trying to clean lawnmower with headphones and muffs on whilst still running.
Doctors are scamming ACC as a few stitches shouldn't cost millions of dollars!! Thats why they drive flash cars
