Stay Healthy as You Shovel Snow
Studies have shown that there heart attack is one of the leading causes of Amnerican fatalities each year. Of these unlucky souls, a small percentage of them suffer the attack while innocently shoveling snow. It seems that statisticians prefer to call the ones who perished this was as "negligible". Exactly how devalued is human life these days?
The amount of effort needed to use a snow shovel efficiently is the culprit in these cases. Include the fact that everyone, including our older friends who are no longer used to physical strain, needs to to shovel snow, and you'll understand why these unfortunate accidents occur. Still, even with the alternatives in the market, the snow shovel remains cheaper and simpler to use. So it comes as no surprise that 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.
So what is this wovel, and how different is it to the standard shovel? At the core, the wovel resembles the standard snow shovel, but is composed of lighter, yet just as tough material. Where the shovel blade meets the handle, a cord was annexed that stretches for more than two feet long. The bungee-like cord itself ends in a handle much like that in the shovel proper itself.
The science in the wovel is easy to understand; by attaching a cord that can be easier to grasp than the tip of the shovel blade, you no longer have to bend down while working. You are thus able to properly utilize your upper body strength more without endangering it. Also, the elasticity of the cord itself lends some energy to the swing of the wovel. You are eased off a lot of the required energy, and you don't put yourself in danger. What else can you ask for?
