Public Service Announcement:
Wear your Safety Glasses.
Torque everything to spec.
Use EVERY guard and safety your tools are equipped with, and make some of your own while you're at it.
Stand Well Clear of any possible debris trajectories when around automated machines.
Treat every running tool as if it's Radioactive. Human flesh goes nowhere near spinny bits.
I had a Lathe's safety door blow clean off it's rollers and whack me in the Chest today, and I was observing the above rules.
@Motodrachen in more eloquence, what happened to cause THAT particular failure mode?
@Motodrachen ... shit. and I know EXACTLY what you mean by that. *shudders*.
@Motodrachen is there anything you could have done to avert that? or just Run Like Hell?
@Motodrachen jesus! The fact that you’re writing this suggests that you’re okay, but hey, are you okay?
@Motodrachen Ho Lee Shit
