Russian Lathe Accident

I wonder if they're setting on there, asking for a few friends on here....

I saw that the other day it was horrendous.

You get accidents like that happen on oil rigs as well as there's also spinning machinery on the rig floor. Years ago I was having a smoke by the health and safety notice board and a picture caught my eye, it was the aftermath of someone who'd been wearing a harness but the connecting bit was trailing on the floor not attached to anything. He'd managed to get it caught in a spinning drum with a huge amount of power and dragged in. Just an arm and leg sticking out at impossible angles and a lot of blood. It was a disgusting sight.

They used to put photos like that up to try to shock people into taking safety seriously.

Haven't seen the vid but we got shown b&w films in college, industrial engineering accidents, blokes with their hair in pillar drill etc, but obviously not proper gory.

Cheers, D.

I spent a bit of time in an engineering shop years ago , I’ve got to say I hated every minute. I witnessed a guy de- berring a workpiece on a lathe with a Swiss file , the file hit the chuck and sent the handle through his palm into his wrist . He went white and was wandering around with his arm stretched out with just the point of the file sticking out . Some clever f@cker starts singing “ Spider-Man , Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can “ , a moment of hilarity in an otherwise grim situation .

the only thing I witnessed at the engineering place I worked at was a pressurised steel cylinder a fitter was  working on ..the thread on the end cap must have failed whilst he was testing it's hydraulic capabilities...the end cap fired off...hitting the rsj in the roof and then coming back down hitting him on the head...he was lucky it didn't hit him on the way up...I think it would have killed him ..if the dent in the rsj was anything to go buy...

anyone old enough to remember the two steer rings on the truck tyres, a friend was blowing the tyre up when the rings blew off he had to have a metal plate in his head and he lost an eye.

my old dad was a truck driver...he told me story's he had herd of tyre fitters doing lorries and being killed

Some poor sod in the county filled a tractor tyre with some other than air and it literally blew him to bits  god knows what he put in it. The news reports it just blew under pressure

A lad at work showed me that lathe video this morning  - that was f***ing grim. I just hope it was quick for the poor bloke

i used to do a job on a big lathe at my firts job and i had to put my arm upto my elbow into a bore not much bigger than my arm to deburr the groove .fecking nuts and would not do it now knowing a little bit more about what could happen.

This is about my limit with health and safety videos
