The day you find out that you're the kind of person whose immediate instinct is to save yourself, gently caress your child. I'm not judging! There was no decision involved here. Pure instinct.

I was at a funeral for a buddy of mine today, he, his wife and two young kids (4 and 2) were driving home last Sunday and a tree fell onto the highway. I saw the photos of the accidents there was no way to avoid having the tree hit the car so he accelerated and turned towards the tree so it literally just crushed his part of the car and everyone else walked away without a scratch.

Don't touch my bags if you please, Mr Customs Man.



One of my coworkers worked at a sawmill for several years before going into software development.

Last week he started to tell stories about people who had been mangled by the various bits of equipment and I keep thinking he's lucky he got out with all of his digits and limbs.

There isn’t much demand for eight‐digit programmers these days.

Lathes are widowmakers. Have seen pics of fatalities in the biz, not a pretty way to go.

Not sure about the acceleration bit but hitting it head on is the best thing he could have done in the crash. Max crumpled da zone.

They always used to tell us in our Science dept. safety courses about a undergrad engineering student who was doing some after-hours work on her own with a lathe at Yale(?). They found her the next day with her pony tail caught in the lathe and a broken neck.

There was a months-post-surgery picture of a dude who degloved his scalp on a lathe at my trade school. Big poster on the wall next to the lathe station.

No gore, but still nasty as gently caress.

I don't remember who said it but the advice was once given on these forums:

"Don't gently caress with a spinning shaft"

It should be printed just like that on all machinery that it could possibly apply to.

At my previous job, at a wood mill, a dude lost half his fingers+thumb in a planarizer. He turned it off, locked it out, but did not let the spinning wheel of death that planarizes the wood stop. Hand went in, a lot didn't come out.

And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop!
And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it — that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!

They basically do have that on large trucks with long drive shafts. It's a decal of a stick figure wound around a line saying don't get under the truck while it's running.

I always freak out when I see people on YouTube casually using a lathe or with their hands near the Chuck. All it takes is moving a bit too close and then one of the jaws shatters your hand.

Candlepower was defined as the light produced by a pure spermaceti candle that weighs 1⁄6 pound (76 grams) and burns at a rate of 120 grains per hour (7.8 grams per hour)

For a long time, Grams was spelled Grammes, partly because the French did it that way but mainly because it made it harder to confuse ‘grains’ and ‘grams’ if your handwriting was a bit iffy. I’m sure that must count as an OSHA fact since getting 120 grams of laudanum in your nightly milk instead of 7.8 would probably give you a deeper sleep than you intended.
