It’s a stone cutting saw. They don’t cut soft materials hardly at all. He was more likely to get a pinch from jamming the blade than cut the way you are thinking.
T
There’s a sub for something like that?!
F
Nah. Not anymore
B
That would have been a particularly bad case of being cut in half
N
Yeah, the one about dead people.

r/cosplay … Because he wanted to be Darth maul
F
What is the name of that subreddit? Could not find it. Thx
B
This is one of those close calls where you continue to check yourself for injuries on and off for the next 5 minutes, just waiting for your guts to inevitably spill out. Then you randomly think about it for the next 20 years.

The same applies when you fuck up while woodworking. A table saw will teach you when to take a break.
F
I know a carpenter whose kid entered the workshop without him realizing while the table saw was running. Saved the kid’s hand, at the expense of his own fingers. Reattached, they work well. And then there’s the lathe.
T
The lathe is responsible for one of the worst videos on the internet.

Oh sweet, summer child. I’m not talking about an arm. I’m talking about the whole dude. [This links to the story](https://ghostarchive.org/archive/4bwAX) but it is so beyond NSFW. We’re into “watch this and never forget it” territory.
B
I’m not clicking, for my own well-being, but are we talking about the one that ends with a pink mist?
T
That’s the one.
B
Yeah, that’s one of those videos where I kind of have to disassociate to put what I saw into perspective.
W
Five word horror story right there. Use your brain, ’cause the lathe ain’t got none. Or a sense of fair play. Or any couth. Or any respect for man nor beast.
W
Where do the 5 words begin or end
W
“And then, there’s the lathe”
W
Lol missed that completely
N
The lathe can have brains. Depending on where it caught.
F
Ouch
V
As a lathe owner, yep… It doesn’t know or care about the difference between the work piece and your limb…. I have a lot of power tools but I pay an exceptional level of respect to the big spinny one. I think I’d rather have something cut off by a razor sharp blade than torn off by brute rotational force…..
S
DECADES of table saw respect, I dont fuck with the thing. Despite that, it’ll still do something scary once in a while, hence the respect – not even the odd flaky moment, sometimes your precautions just arent quite 100% there and something catches wrong and kicks back and yup. Turn it all off, take stock of fingers and life choices….
1
The point of most safety measures is you never know if there is a small knot in the middle of the wood you can’t see that causes the saw to either SHOOT back or YANK forward both of which can fuck you up forever. And yeah each time it happens it cements the fact of “thank god I was standing to the side/had my fingers far from the blade” Though even when you take every precaution which is why you are only “surprised” by the jolt and not killed you have to take a break to reassess all your life choices. Its good to be afraid of things that can kill you. A weird number of people aren’t.
T
High school shop teacher was demonstrating ripping lumber on a table saw, experienced a kickback, and took a plank to the temple. Split his head open and knocked him out cold. He healed up just fine in the end, and likely taught those kids a safety lesson they’ll never forget.
S
>Then next day you go back and *change nothing* Ftfy
C
Universe has funny ways of telling you to call it a day.
T
Hell, I want him to turn around and show his stomach so I can make sure he is ok lol.
S
Especially that last part. You’ll be at the end of a great day, nestled into bed and think, “remember when I almost zippered open my torso”
T
As someone whose had similarly close calls, sometimes I wonder if I’m just dead and the life I’m living in the nice moments is just my brain having spasms before the lights go out. Avoid those incidents as much as you can, those of us who have experienced shit are worse off than the 3 am thoughts.
