Have a look at this, it’s an article on gardening accidents by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents:

I think a better approach would be to take on serious common injuries that occur when gardening, then make fun of them (i.e. think of funny ways to avoid them).
For example:
· RoSPA says that when mowing the lawn, you should “always wear strong shoes and trousers”. So our solution could be “when mowing the lawn, always wear reinforced fisherman’s waders”.
· The most common accident in a garden is a fall. Our solution: “when gardening, always move around by crawling on your hands and knees to avoid falling, taking care to wear gloves and knee-pads”.
· Safety around ponds: “If you have a pond, always wear flippers and a lifejacket when gardening”.
· “When gardening, always wear a biker helmet (with the visor down of course) to avoid being poked in the eye by a rogue branch”.
· RoSPA also says that men aged 30-60 have the most accidents. Our solution: “If you are a man aged 30-60, give up gardening or have a sex-change”.
We could have Albert come out of his house normally clothed, then as he does each gardening job, he puts on another item of ‘protective’ clothing, until at the end he is crawling around the garden with gloves, knee-pads, a helmet, fisherman’s waders, a lifejacket and flippers on.
He could have shed in the garden with all his protective gear in, and the user of the website could choose which item he should put on for each task.
What do you think?
