I haven't looked either but can imagine had to cut oldboys sleeve off at work to free him a few months back he was lucky I was only about ten foot off him when it grabbed him

I'd imagine a lot of us have been around sites, engineering etc...and seen shit or been so close it still makes your stomach go over now...near misses are too regular...

Seen the lathe video, terrible waste of life poor fella. Like Tomo said very sad state of affairs to release the footage of a colleague

Sometimes you just can't keep a good man down. 

You wouldn't though as you would pull through for your family.

Very true we used to use pto driven winches and you would often be leaning over the dam things with the guards flapping about because they all ways broke. Wearing wet weather gear and clothes flapping about. One guy copped it one day and lost an arm. Thank fully I was off that day. Healthy and safety finished the guy in charge of that particular gang 

[terryd 8,925]

Health and safety is there for a reason. It can be a right pain but when bad things happen you see why its there. Back in the day we we used to use pto driven saw bench with whooping round blade for making fence posts. You used pop a point on a 5'6 post and then reach forward and grab the four cut offs from the side of the blade and throw behind you. Your fingers were like cm's from it. Also we have to spilt posts and rails. Line them up and push them forward with your gut. Some times you had to push like hell cause they were tough and some pinched the blade so you would be leaning forward forward push as hard as you could towards the blade. Think the worst thing that happened was some one lost few mil off his finger lol. But yea I sure won't be googling no lathe accident
