Shovel Snow While Staying Healthy
It has been shown that there are a number of Americans who die of heart attack each year. Among these unlucky souls, a small subset of them suffers the attack while doing the seemingly innocent task of shoveling snow. To these statisticians, however, the subset is small enough to be considered negligible. It's funny how some people seem to devalue human life and well being to "interpretable data".
The problem mostly lies with the amount of effort needed in using a snow shovel. Add to that the fact that everyone, even those who are older and not used to exertion, need to maintain their homes by during the winter, and you can understand why these unfortunate accidents occur. Still, the shovel is much cheaper than the alternative, and that is why most Americans prefer it to this day.
It has been decided, then, that improvements to the original snow shovel design are in order. I have recently found an innovative invention that does exactly that. My friends; let me introduce you to the wovel.
What, then, is this wovel, and how is it different from the snow shovel that we are accustomed to? In a nutshell, a wovel is similar in design to its predecessor. The main difference, though, lies with the bungee-like cord attached near the blade of the wovel's blade. The cord is just less than three feet long, ending in a handle that is similar to that of the main tool's shaft.
The science behind the wovel is simple; by extending your potential grasp on the shovel through the cord, you don't have to bend over to scrape off all that snow. You are able to stand upright, and thus you are able to utilize your upper body strength without endangering it. In addition, the expansion and contraction of the cord itself adds energy to the swing that you need to do to toss the snow while using the wovel. You don't have to lose as much effort, and you don't put yourself in danger.
