Luckily i have only had almost accidents and reading all the posts has got me thinking to prevent myself from injury im going to buy a white leather apron. Then ill fold the bottom half up, sew the edges, add a wire frame to the inside fit it to the under side of my desk and hopefully any thing that falls off my desk will land on the apron and slide to the catcher at the end. Although the apron might not look pretty, falling scissors wont be a problem because the leather will protect you, this is just an idea at the moment i think it could work. Anyone else think so?
