It should be noted that hunting accidents caused great numbers of injuries and death amongst the Neanderthal, especially since Neanderthal man, having nothing more than hand axes, had to run down and beat his dinner to death.

And just think of the potential for being hit by by an unloaded handaxe when cleaning it...

A good handaxe rock is sharp and easily flenses flesh from bone. One slip and it's to the bone. This isn't your ordinary papercut.
