Hit 200,000 hours of wrenching without a single injury report

I was going through my logbooks last night and realized I've passed 200,000 hours on the floor since I started at a Gulfstream shop in Savannah back in '98. That's wild to me because I never kept count until now. I've been pretty strict about using torque wrenches and never rushing the final walk-around, but I'm curious how many of you have hit a big hour milestone without a close call. What's your secret for staying safe all those years?

Honestly, that's incredible, man. I just crossed 150k hours myself at the same bird shop in Savannah, and I swear it's the little habits like never skipping a torque check that keep us out of the ER. Ngl, staying slow on the last walk around is probably the real secret, because that's where most people get sloppy.
