Since I'm here I guess I'll contribute. My company doesn't generally employ women in the field. Not a policy, it's just that we break and move concrete and so principally employ gigantic men. We also do concrete scanning and x-ray, which doesn't require as many strapping muscles. The scanners and x-ray tech helpers are occasionally loaned out to other operators. Years ago a friend got his sister hired to work as an x-ray tech's helper. One night she was helping one of the operators core a hole into a wall when she got too close to the drill. Without tying he hair down. So, she lost some hair and some scalp. In the end she wasn't too bad and it looked and sounded worse than it was (lots of gore, little actual damage). The operator ended up taking some stress leave. I guess the sight of the core drill spinning with bits of person attached messed him up for a little bit. She ended up quitting shortly thereafter (for a variety of reason, she was actually a terrible employee). In the end, fault was spread around. She knew to tie her hair down and not get so close to the drill. The operator shouldn't have let her get so close to the drill. And our safety guy at the time was a dolt and let all kinds of bad habits slide. Funny thing was, shortly before the incident, we had just moved to a new shop that didn't have two washroom/change rooms so we had one built just for her! Think it got used like 10 times ever.

There's too many edges to feel and rubber gloves fall apart in the coolant. And the whole spinny bits catching gloves. I've considered getting a bucket or plasti-dip for skintight gloves but I don't know how much grip it offers.

One of the maintenance mechanics at my old job was running a drill press with his gloves on. The glove got caught in the bit and the machine tore his pinkie finger off and unraveled the tendons. The finger itself was mulch and impossible to reattach. On top of that he ended up being pretty hosed up with complications and nerve damage which resulted in losing additional chunks of his hand through multiple surgeries. I didn't see it happen but we kept stumbling across little rice sized hand chunks that had been thrown all over the maintenance shop for a few days afterwards.

I think this is actually from the 1970s, despite the title. I can see why fatalities used to be so high. Who cares if you're wearing a seat belt when your loving seat won't stay in the car? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_wOkc4nJ7M Also, loving wear a seat belt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7iYZPp2zYY A guy I've known since elementary school died recently because he drove like an rear end in a top hat and smashed into a tree and a brick wall a lot faster than he should have been driving on that road. His passenger survived because he was wearing a seat belt. He didn't, so he got his head pulped. The only thing I can say is that I hope his death was quick enough that he didn't feel his skull breaking. Wear seat belts if you don't like dying.

I always love the comments on crash test videos of old cars where are convinced they altered the older car because there's no way that solid metal car could perform so poorly when today's cars crumple at the slightest impact!

Who cares if you're wearing a seat belt when your loving seat won't stay in the car? A few years ago they did a '59 Bel Air vs. an '09 Malibu. Not sure why they mixed them up like that, maybe they couldn't find a '59 Malibu to sacrifice. But, anyway, Jesus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_r5UJrxcck

It looks like he might have twisted his body in time to keep from destroying his leg, which would make him a very lucky boy. Even if his leg did get broken, the machine stopped in time to keep from loving killing him, so he's lucky regardless.
