Re: [VAL] Window safety-tennis balls
I have a '56 A/S which has windows with sharp, 90 degree window corners
and when open are a little less then 6ft from ground. They are a danger.
My solution, as recommdned by others, is to take tennis balls, cut a
slit about 1 1/2 inches long and place the tennis ball on each window
corner by slipping the ball, thru the cut, over the window corner.
Tennis balls are a bright neon type yellow. The point being that if
strike your head on the window corner you will be protected by the balls.
I have used streamers, etc. in the past and when preoccupied you can
fail to see the streamers and can hit the corner of the window.
