When I lost the top of my pinky due to a conveyor belt incident I also did not really feel any pain. I did feel the tug of the belt, I pulled back my hand and saw the top of my pinky missing. I pinched my artery with my other hand just to be sure and to stop making a giant mess, and ran to get some help. The hurt came when they disinfected the wound by putting my pinky in an alcohol bath :stonk:. That was probably the worst instantaneous pain I ever felt.

When I cut myself on a cutting knive inside a plastic blow molding machine I didn't notice it at first either, my first reaction was 'poo poo, there is a hole somewhere and the hydraulic fluid is leaking' as I saw it mixed with the cleaning agent on the floor, i followed the dripping, thought it was somewhere above my arm, but couldn't find it until i took a step back and scratched my head and saw the gaping cut.

That's what I get for not checking if the knive is in the correct position before cleaning that ancient murder machine. Pain was actually ok, even stitches by the doc, only relly started to hurt the next day after waking up and kept hurting the whole rest of the week.

Pain is weird.

I fell and put my hand through a window once. Felt no pain, withdrew my hand and looked at it.

2.5" gash in the wrist, clean as a scapel cut, right through to the underlying muscle, you could see the individual layers of skin and subcutaneous tissue. There was hardly any blood. Camp director drove me to the ER, they scrubbed it out with betadine and stitched it up. The only pain I felt were twinges from the needle while they were stitching.

Isn't that what going into shock is? If I'm remembering right, it's a survival trait to let us work through injuries that a lot of other species don't have.

I think pigeons have it. I saw a pigeon with its brain exposed as i was walking to get pizza one time. I thought it was dead. Coming back with the pizza, it was walking around. I'm sure it passed not to long after but drat.

Strange thing is I didn't feel the first few cuts because a) this wasn't my first OR rodeo and b) I saw the anaesthetics being injected and felt the burning tingle of them being diffused IM. I guess my brain convinced itself that it couldn't be pain it was feeling in the first few seconds until the scalpel dug deep enough.

Same goes for people I treated as a first aid responder, especially in cases of blunt force head trauma. Concussions & shock do fucky things to your pain perception.

Not to pick on surebet, because a bunch of people do this all the time in this thread.

I mean, even the guy who had his arm ripped off in a machine, at least was workplace-injury related.

No. Shock is when your circulatory system stops working, either because you've lost too much blood to sustain circulatory pressure, because your heart's not beating effectively anymore, or for some systemic reason like anaphylaxis. You're not working through much of anything when your heart's beating like a hummingbird but your blood pressure's fallen through the floor and your tissues aren't getting any O2. It's pretty much the opposite of adrenaline.

Pain is a bitch it's one of the few things that your body really doesn't desensitize to. It's a positive feed back loop where pain releases chemicals that cause more pain, not only at the site but in the spine. That's why chronic pain is so hard to treat, your body literally hyper-sensitizes to pain the longer you have it. Then in a fun twist of fate pain killing opiate receptors/channels will happily desensitize, unlike the pain causing ones.

There's actually something called mental shock or just "shock", more properly "acute stress reaction". Symptoms include numbing, emotional detachment, muteness, derealization, depersonalization, psychogenic amnesia, continued re-experiencing of the event via thoughts, dreams, and flashbacks, and avoidance of any stimulation that reminds them of the event. It's the first stage of humans adapting to stress and trauma.

As I've said many times in this very thread. You don't gently caress with a spinning shaft. Everyone of his chuckle-head colleagues should be happy that they didn't just witness a mans leg twisted off like you'd twist a drumstick off a chicken.

I nearly lost a finger once on a lathe chuck because I forgot to take off my wedding ring. A good reminder to respect the lathe because it sure as hell does not respect you.

Heard one story in high school shop class from my teacher about a guy who left a rod or something sticking out perpendicular from a lathe and it accidentally got turned on. Dude was standing too close, rod spun up and basically sliced him open from pelvis to chest. Don't remember if he lived (or even if the story was true) but drat if it didn't make all of us really, really careful around them, especially with safety equipment and making sure to work in pairs with someone near an emergency stop switch.

Although in that class I was almost the OSHA example a couple times, first time using a lathe to sand a project and the sandpaper got yanked from my hand and cut the webbing between my thumb and index finger. Other time wasn't really my fault, someone was welding behind me and a spark jumped, hit my shirt, and all the lint on my back went up in flame. All I heard was "whoa holy poo poo" and someone started patting my back down before I realized I was even on fire. Good times!

It had a lot of energy beamed at it. And it was microwaves so it heated up what was inside (a non negligible volume of water and also alcohol, under pressure).

Did not realize there was enough alcohol in champagne to burn like that.

I guess it's under pressure and just being fed energy but still, not what I expected.

I think the alcohol vapor is going to boil off first, increasing pressure in the bottle and eventually causing a BLEVE. At which point the hot alcohol vapor ignites in the air.

The bottle bursting from being heated, sure. The ~100ml of alcohol boiling off, igniting and making a flare through the ~650ml of water, maybe, ok.

That ~4oz of alcohol making a fireball, causing all the vapor spray to ignite, and leaving sticky flames burning with black smoke on the magnetron and box? nah.

Yeah I don't think that bottle was full of wine. I'm gonna assume they refilled the bottle with something like petrol and then wired the cork back in and put fresh foil over the top.

Lathes (the big ones) are freaking scary!

We had these massive westinghouse ones in my shop class and one kid left the chuck wrench in it when he started it up and sent it flying about 15 feet straight up in the air. Another kid didn't properly secure the 40lb chuck on his lathe and sent it flying about 10 feet away from him and it hit a cement block wall and smashed one of them. Another kid was using a gas torch to cut open a shock cylinder and sent a jet of flame 20 feet across the room.

The shop teacher said the scariest thing he ever saw was an oxygen cylinder fall off a forklift, land right on the valve, rocket 25 feet straight up, punch through the roof, and about 6 seconds later punch back down through the roof and land on the shop floor (this was as the too land die place he worked at before becoming a teacher).
