all the drinking from lastnight and those pictures almost made me puke.

i dont understand how he did it.....having your hand at the top of the sprocket eliminates the hand getting sucked into the sprocket, but reguaardless.....ouch.

i dont think this is inappropriate, its a good heads up for people.

saw it on Bannedcr500riders.com awhile back

WOW!

I have done my fair share of stupid stuff, i'm just glad it never turned out that bad.

I hope his hand heals up good.

We just had a guy grab a piece of paper that was stuck on a roll spinning into an ingoing nip point. To make it worse it was on our dryer section where the rolls are around 350-400 degrees. His hand got pulled through a gap of about 1/8 inch. It was a miracle that he got it out because it almost pulled his torso in. He boke every bone in all of his fingers and thumb and dislocated his thumb. Also had 1rst and 2nd degree burns. I have to say I never want to hear that scream of agony again it just goes right through you.

god i love my shaft drive 200es lol thats gotta hurt

I have another story!!

Happened about 3 years ago in our area.

2 Electricians, one at one end feeding wire into a conduit; And one at the other end running the machine pulling the wire. All thats between them is a "Nextel". Hell, they've done this a couple dozen times now........

Anyhow, sometimes when feeding wire into conduit you have to help it along. Maybe angle it a bit or hold it high or whatever. Somehow it grabbed one hand, then the wrist so he grabbed it (dropped the phone) and then 2 wrists were stuck. These things pull huge wires thru 6" underground conduit, it wasn't long before he lost both arms and lucky for him they got help fast and he lived.

Without any arms though.....

Never F with machines, even egg beaters look harmless but it doesn't take much to tear, cut and rip our digits off guys

Stay sharp!!

I've got a dumb story too...
When i was a kid in wood shop back in high school, i kept having a problem with keeping the drill bit in the chuck (it was old and kept rattling loose), so i thought "Hey I'll just put the chuck key in the chuck and turn the drill press on!"
BAD IDEA!!
The chuck key was on a retractable key chain, so it was hard to lose. I put the chuck key on and held onto it, and turned the machine on, I'm glad that i let go when i did otherwise it could have been way worse, but it spun so fast that it came around and jammed my thumb, it was all sorts of funny colors for weeks, black, blue, purple, yellow, orange, red. I never told anyone because i was afraid i'd get suspended over it. (i wasn't a very good kid in school) But my thumb is better now and seems to work good enough for me.
That was a IDIOTIC move on my part, but I'm glad i learned from it.

lucky the chuck key didnt fly out and knock your teeth out

**HONDALUVR** · 10-06-2009, 10:01 AM

that made my azz pucker severely. I snapped my left leg off at the knee in a Motorcycle accident took 30 days in the Trauma Center At Memphis and 3 surgeries to reattach and cobble it back togeter ... It actually didin't hurt that bad ... but I hit my finger with a 5 pound shop

the other day and it still hurts ... fingers are sensative for a reason.

I had the paw on a trailer winch break loose 2 weeks ago and the handle came back and broke my nose

**outtaline** · 10-06-2009, 11:22 AM

Here is the pic

**Dirtcrasher** · 10-06-2009, 12:24 PM

^ DAM, almost got your eye!! Glad your alright bud

**Tri-ZNate** · 10-06-2009, 01:59 PM

had a guy 2 weeks ago at work almost loose some digits.

Threading up the paper web (we make Bounty) there was a driven roll with a idler right below it and once the paper goes inbetween there you can stuff it in the machine. Well he had just threaded up and on start-up it broke so while the machine was running he was going through the motions to save on downtime. Done it a million times in his 12 years there.

He got to those rolls and when he tried to stuff the web through, the driven roll grabbed his fingers and sucked them in. His only saving grace was he panicked in time and ripped his fingers back out. Only wound up with some chewed up fingers
