Graphic vid of why we need to take care when working on any machine. This guy was lucky he wasn't killed outright. I thought the chuck key left on the headstock was going to be the accident. |

When I seen the long sleeves I cringed every time he got close and sure enough. I one witnessed a person getting his tee shirt ripped off he was standing close and all of a sudden all he had was the ring around his neck the rest was ripped right off him in the blink of an eye. Loose clothing around a machine shop is just a no no along with jewelry and gloves. |

I have viewed this video before. There are many problems beside long sleeves. Several years ago I saw a group of pictures of a poor soul that had been drawn into a large lathe by the chuck. It was said it was because of loose clothing. The pictures showed only what was left of the man's torso. |

My grandad has a story about the company photographer, who he was friendly with, coming in to the office looking pretty faint one day. Supposedly the poor bugger had been tasked with taking photos of a recent accident where some kid with long hair (as was fashionable at the time) got his head removed by a wheel lathe. I see gloves on a drill press quite alot on youtube videos. There was even one electronics engineer who went out of his way to make a point about how you MUST wear gloves on a drill press. Some people just don't think. |

Hi Well I was expecting something, but not that. He is very lucky to still be alive, that is a very powerful lathe. It would make an excellent safety training video for apprentice machinists. Cheers David |
