Steel toes can go either way. If what you drop on the piggies is moderately heavy , they save you. If its something really heavy they crush down and make matters worse. I was once saved by steel toed shoes. Put a big dent in the steel toe but not totally crushed down. Toes came out from under the dent without a scratch.
Sorry to hear of you misfortune Bill. Hope it all heals up well before the wife gets sick of giving you sponge baths!
