And never reach over one when it's running while wearing a baggy shirt.
Reminds me of the guy with the pony tail who got scalped while walking under an overhead chain and cog on the green chain at a sawmill in the '70's. That's how I got in the habit of keeping my hair cut short.
@elmo, I had a friend from high school that got his entire body run through one of the paper manufacturing systems. Every time I use a pad of paper that has the red rule line… I think of him. MadMarlin
Some years ago I saw a video of a guy working an industrial lathe. He was wearing a long sleeved flannel shirt, unbuttoned, un-tucked. Spinning work piece snagged the shirt. The shirt didn't tear off like this video. There wasn't much left of flannel shirt guy by the time his workmates were able to stop the lathe.
I've worked with hobby lathes and mills for several years doing wood working and metal working. I follow a checklist: no loose or long sleeved shirts, no jewelry, cloth or leather watch strap that will tear away. I run my hands down my arms and body to see if I missed anything. After that, I start the machine.
Holy crap, didn't even notice the mask... Had a neighbor, Chevy dealer mechanic with a crew cut, saw another guy have his scalp ripped off while under a car with the driveshaft turning looking for a noise.
#10. I used to install those above ground, clear floor asymmetrical lifts. You gotta make sure you get the vehicle properly situated and the arms/jack's in the proper place.
Worked in steel fab for several years, had a guy running a large drill and he went to kick some of the drillings away, sucked him between the wall and the work piece. HE came out in his skivvies with boots and belt with only the loops left of his jeans. He was lucky.
#1 That's how I cook and I cook a lot. Difference is come in and film me I'd prolly break yer arm. Nummber 1 rule in my kitchen. When I'm cooking stay ta fuck out of it.
#7, I had to develop a Safety standard procedure at a client site after a man got his long sleeved, button down work shirt sleeve caught in the milling machine. He was not so lucky, broke his arm in many places. In fact, I must have done over 40 safety procedures for various work stations at this plant.
In regards to #7, he was much luckier than this dude. NSFW: Man gets spun apart. https://www.reddit.com/r/NSFL_/comments/jxo0cz/worker_gets_caught_in_the_lathe_red_mist_and/
In college in the early 1990's. I had to take a bs class so I took stagecraft. The Instructor showed us the hank of long hair attached to a post. He said the guy was using a belt sander and leaned down a little to far. I would have kind of liked to have seen that.
Over the years worked at truss companies. One guy got his shirt caught on a bolt head that rotated horizontally. His arm busted in two or three places. Another ran his arm through a roller press up to his shoulder. Another ran his fingers through a roller press. All of the blood had been pressed out. A negro with an absolutely white hand. I've heard of others. Ugh.
Never wear a shirt while running a lathe.

Lathes are like Honey Badger. They don’t give a shit. I know.

Reminds me of the line in the song about the long haired hippy using a chain saw:

At least he was wearing his mask so he was safe.

ReplyDeleteI’m guessing he had everything in the normal position but neglected to consider the lack of weight in the engine bay.

ReplyDelete#10 would have been OK if it still had an engine.

#3 was funny, #5 was funny...sad but really funny and #6 gets points for trying.
