I went back pretty far on their feed and couldn't find it. I did find several wood chipper injuries, chisel slip and what happens when you walk towards a helicopter and forget to duck (nothing good)

I wondered if it might have been edited, given that it was predictable that the limb might swing back like that, and his total lack of response after it starts moving. But if not, at least it probably didn't hurt very much.

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Dude's on a ladder, with a pole saw. There was really not much he could do. Ladder and Chainsaws do not mix, and every time I see someone up on a tree with a ladder cutting a branch with their lovely homeowner saw, I'm watching someone who's basically asking to fall ten or fifteen feet out of a tree with a running chainsaw.

There's a number of things I saw wrong there, but the biggest one (ignoring the ladder) is that he's finishing his cut from the underside which is a phenomenally bad idea, usually because it leads to the polesaw getting stuck in the tree and now someone has to climb the tree to get the pole saw out. Best way to use a polesaw is to cut about ten percent from the underside and then finish the cut from the top. That way, the limb doesn't really have a chance to swing but instead drops straight down, which is what you usually want. Looking at the fences on either side, they probably didn't want this, and wanted it to swing, but the sawyer underestimated just how much green wood can bend and twist before it snaps and got uppercut by wooden Mike Tyson.

When I was in high school I took a shop class for nerds, something offered at the local vocational school that was directed at gifted students. We had to create a product, make it and sell it. In the 6 or 8 weeks of the class, we had three students go to the ER. 1 drill press into a finger, one webbing between thumb and forefinger cut with a bandsaw, and one piece of wood into a thigh from a kickback from the planer. But we all got to split the profits from our sales, so I made like $80.

My highschool woodshop story is slightly different, not involving power tools. The class was for kids about 13 years of age, so nothing too technical. For some reason we had to all take the handles off a bunch of fine-point chisels or gouges to swap them for some other type. Imagine a bunch of kids all with the tool held tight to their chests, struggling to yank the 2 pieces apart.

The kid next to me is a lot taller, and he has the handle against his chest and the blade part suddenly comes loose and his hand with the gouge blade flies out in an arc that ends at my eye socket. It missed my eyeball by about half an inch at the most. I go down like a sack of potatoes with my hands over my eye, blood going everywhere. I imagine the shop teacher poo poo himself on the spot.

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

He also seems to be wearing a full deck crew uniform with helmet, so while doing that is an incredibly stupid idea he's probably OK. The camera turns too slowly to see but if his head had hit the blast deflector he would have spun out and not gotten up so quickly (or at all)

We know tablesaws, lathes and most rotating machinery craves the taste blood, but I want to give a quick nod to the unassuming hydraulic powered equipment mount.
Anyone know the official term for this thing on front end loaders?


You take your loader, hitch whatever equipment you need to the top of this frame, pull back and the lower mounting points swings into place at the bottom. A switch in the cab
actuates the locking bolts, solid steel rods gets pushed through the thing and and the frame, locking the equipment to the machine.

For rEaSoNs, people want to use this mechanism for holding straps and pulling or lifting any old stuff around a job site. As you can tell on the picture the frame has generally
no other attachment points for this purpose. (Someone might get a welder out and attach one, if there's a need) This method requires some ground crew to position the strap
or chain or wire in the path of this bolt. The operator inside then flip the switch and lock it in. These bolts, or pins or rods, are driven by hydraulics, with a fair amount of force.
Enough to snip your fingers off like it's not even there. This will not produce a clean cut either, just snags whatever you feed it, breaks it off and spits it out the side.

I avoided looking directly at it the whole time, just wrapped paper over the end, and wrapped the separated fingat. The surgeon took a look at it and just binned it :(
Cut the leftover bone down some and stitched up the end. Poorly. Forgot to tuck some nerves away? Needed a rework some months later to fix that.
Do not recommend 0/10.

Overheard OSHA anecdote:

So a couple contractors were chatting in the room next to me earlier today, and I overhear part of the conversation (I couldn't make out everything, but this is a rough paraphrase):

Contractor A: Did you know Bob before he got electrocuted?

Contractor B: Yeah, what happened?

Contractor A: He was doing a job at *inaudible* and he locked out the circuit board, then someone came along and turned it on while he was up in the ceiling.

*inaudible conversation*

Contractor B: I heard *inaudible* told him since he owns his house and has some savings he probably wouldn't get it.

Contractor A: That's bullshit. Yeah, maybe he has some nice things but how is he supposed to enjoy it without a hand?
