A machinee like that makes enough torque to tear through your sorry carcass without even slowing down. Dude never had a chance, and is lucky it made an rear end of him instead of worse.

I always thought the average shop's spinning tools are more dangerous than cutting tools.

Yeah, I have a healthy amount of respect for a table or band saw. But I treat the router table and lathe like rattlesnakes.

Because the dumbass is convinced he can hold back the lathe and has positioned his foot there for extra leverage.

I've worked two jobs with big fuckers like this



and it was amazing how cavalier some of the long-timers were with the spinny bits.


And you know drat well that OSHA didn't exist on the night shift, the only rule was get it done so we could make up for lack of production on the day shift when management was paying attention

I work beside a company with a recycling/sorting machine and it has several spinny bits. One of their workers got too close and his sleeve or something, never heard exactly what, caught on one and broke his arm in like 20 (probably an exaggeration) places. Got to keep the arm at least.

In shop class in high school I saw a guy get his shirt ripped off in the blink of an eye by a wood lathe. It legit scared the poo poo out of everyone in class. Our teacher nicknamed him "Mr. Bad Example".

What you see is a guy thinking he's strong.
To prove his strength, he decided to pick a fight with a machine that carves steel like you would carve a cheese. He has his leg up to brace for more leverage. To his great fortune the lathe was not hungry for flesh that day and just suplexed him into the dirt instead of rolling him up and squeezing his soft stuff out like a tube of toothpaste.

The Dragon in the Sea by Frank Herbert (yes, that one) has a bit where the submarine goes much deeper than it was supposed to, so they increase the pressure inside to compensate for a limited period of time. I don't remember any messing around with the gas mixture but it might have been in there.

Humans can withstand a surprisingly large amount of pressure. Deepest simulated dive is to something like 70 atmospheres? Even then the real problem is just finding a breathing gas that works at that pressure. If you could set up a liquid breathing system that works on adults you could probably go a lot deeper.

A lathe that size can easily make 1/4" deep cuts through steel in a single pass at ~1200RPM and that chucklefuck is trying to arm-wrestle it at minimum speed where it has 10x that much torque.

They also have a foot operated deadman switch on the front that I guarantee you the cameraman is holding down the entire time it's trying to eat his bro.

I did fab work on and off for four years in a two man shop and I only hurt myself once,

when I panicked at the very idea that our five inch chuck was about to grab ahold of any piece of me I jerked my hand back into a spade bit we had mounted on the other end of the track.
