Mansard? More like man-hazard!

How can I protect myself against my own eavestrough?

Our house is a raised ranch style. Unfortunately, it's not just any raised ranch -- it's one that features a mansard roof. (This is NOT our house, but it's a similar idea.) While it looks like an adorable bunker (and it is!), the roof poses a lot of problems.

One issue is the eavestrough. It is basically at waist height. Now, this is GREAT for clearing gutters, but the problem is that in certain areas, like our front doorway or the back patio area where the gutter has to do a jog around a hydro meter, there are a lot of sharp metal edges just waiting to slice open someone's skin. Can you help me think of some material I could use to cover the gutter edges at these points that would protect us from the pointy bits without looking too weird? Also, in a year or two my toddler's head will be at gutter height, so would love to avoid that trip to the emergency room!
