    O.H.S Accident with JBL 4345..ooch

    Don't let this happen to you!

    I was reaching around the back of one of my 4345s tonight for a cable with the enclosure partly swivelled for access on its support stand.

    Then it suddenly moved.

    The sheer mass of the cabinet twisted my back at an awkward angle. So I had to kind of untwist against the wall with a significant amount of force to regain balance.

    Nasty. :shock:

    I will be okay and plan to see the physio.

    Its a reminder to be carefull when moving / around these large monitors.

    Ya, that's why mine are not up on bases yet. I have not worked out a way to have them solidly placed and yet moveable for all the necessary fooling around.

    I trust you'll be all right.

    Not as bad as I thought this morning thanks Dave.

    Perhaps if Mat can share some of his lawn clippings it might ease the discomfort.

    That's one of the reason's I have my 4344's on short wheeled stands. So I can move them about without hurting myself. Those 4345's Yikes!!!! Hope your OK Ian.

    Unfortunately it has become uncomfortable and using a PC is not helping so I will be taking time out.

    If can find a cute Babe to bash the keyboard all the better.

    Get better Ian.

    (As Roddyama marks down one reason not to put all his speakers in the same box.)

    Hey Rodd.

    Nice to hear from you,

    Yes I am considering my options. Its a lower back thing. Some exercises seem to help

    Have not seen you over here for a while.
    What happened? Did you get Fired as Moderator on diyaudio?

    Maybe some Foster's will help?

    I tried inversion boots for may back injury -- they seem to be quite helpful.
    Hope you get beetter soon..

    I think it makes it worse.

    Will have x rays this week, hope it won't mean going under the knife.
