These Third World industrial videos are fascinating for so many reasons. Safety? Never heard of it. "You want me to melt old railroad rails on an open fire in my one room shop and pour a new crankshaft in a sand mold to be finished by hand with a broken file? No problem. What size you need?"
"And you don't mind if my pregnant 16-y-o bride who looks 46 nurses our other baby while she cooks dinner over the same fire and breathes in all the toxic fumes? Cool, thanks!"
That is not that far from the truth in some of these videos. They are almost hypnotic. What? Did you see that? Did he really do that? Run that back. WHAT?
He is just pulling it to the edge of the bending jig, which is fixed in place, he gets it close enough and firms it up the tailstock then the edge of the jig pushes it on center in the first few revs and he'll tighten the tailstock all the way after it centers. I just appars really off-center at first because it's not flat, he rolls the edge and gives it structure which appears to center it, but all the work is being done by the bending jig.
Looks like he's had a close call or two based on his shirt! I bet if he turned around you'd notice even more evidence of a close call in the form of a shit stain.
Yeah. It's not just gruesome, but also so sad. I mean I hate that that happened to him, but also feel so bad for his coworker who came in after and had to piece together what happened in the few seconds that it took him to realize.
It's okay, he's wearing his safety flip-flops. Everyone knows you're completely protected from harm in the workplace while wearing them! /s /s for the love of God, wear your PPE /s
Worst one I saw was someones leg getting caught in a lathe, their feet got twisted around and spun them so fast that after a few revolutions, their bones slid out of the leg meat like a bit of KFC chicken, launching the body into the air. The internet is fucked up place, but not as fucked up as the psycopaths enchewing PPE for profit.
I've seen that, or something similar and it's still up there as one of the most god awful things I've watched. However, at least it seems like a relatively quick way to go. The one I saw, the guy barely seemed to register a problem before he was instantly reduced to red mist & kebab meat. The other workers who had to turn off the lathe and presumably mop up their co-worker. Those guys I feel really bad for.
Yeah. Worked on planes for a while. Watched a guy drop a wrench into an engine cowling, reaches into the cowling cover for it, I saw the engine shudder for some reason. He'd caught his ring on SOMETHING (he didn't even really know how it happened), pulled out his hand and the ring finger had de-gloved. It was just bone and sinew. Found the finger on the bottom of the cowling. Ring was still on the skin.
It appears to be directly connected to a line shaft - likely no way of turning it off without stopping several tons of spinning machinery and fly wheels that it's connected to by that belt.

Holy shit. The machine is belt driven and *always* spinning.

I have to wonder what he's listening to in those ear buds. I like to think it's Dead or Alive. Or maybe Giorgio Moroder.

Safety toe shoes? Don’t worry I can move my flip flop covered feet out of the way in time.

But how does he find center so fast?

Looked like there might have been a mark
CapitalNick
You get it close enough then he wears down the edge before pressing it into the bowl.
NomadUniverse

First tool was cutting, so that centers it?
truk77
No eye protection or nothin'?
tooomanystevesgotbanned
And this is why things are cheap.
ZamboniJonez
The way he reached past it at the start made my bum hole tighten.
AVeryTallGlassOfIToldYouSo
Luckily he's wearing the OSHA approved hearing protection fake airpods and he's equipped with safety squint
TheFastpaws
Stuff like this always makes me sad because everyone deserves a safe workspace but they don't often get one. =\
HeWhoMustNotBeBlamed
Nono, not everybody! We need cheap shit! /s
Leviosoooohhhh
That looks super mega fuckin' unsafe bud

Sweet Jesus man, those headphone cords. The loose clothing.

Probably not his second rodeo either.

CheeseborgarSoop
Oh God. I've seen that that does. You don't want that.
distractedFreek
Probably why his earbuds are wrapped around his ears and shoved down his shirt. He's lost a few pairs, I bet.
PostalHeathen
That, or had the good sense to listen to more experienced workers' advice.
PostalHeathen
That's why you don't wear loose clothing when working on equipment like that.

I've seen that reddit clip. It haunts me.
GloveFullaVaseline
You guys talking about the guy that got caught in a lathe and then was disintegrated? That wrecked me forever.
itsimpossibletofindausernamethatisnttaken
Yep. I've seen a lot of gore and snuff but that one hit me different for some reason.
GloveFullaVaseline
Yeah. It's not just gruesome, but also so sad. I mean I hate that that happened to him, but also feel so bad for his coworker who came in after and had to piece together what happened in the few seconds that it took him to realize.

Whats the worst that can happen?

He becomes one with the bowl.

Red mist lathe .... be warned. It's bad.

They are like MMORPG female armor... the less it covers, the more it protects.

I remember seeing a video of a man that leaned on a roller at the pinch point. They had to unravel him off of the pin.

I did a farm safety course for teens who worked on family farms, pretty sure I saw something similar involving a big fuck off lathe

Oh come on. Now I have this urge to Google lathe accidents, and you know I can't do it.

Look, I'm gonna post the link but I'm warning you. This is some heavy NSFL stuff. Your call.

At least he has on his safety sandals

FINALLY!!! A bowl big enough for cereal.

Teenage me is very happy with this comment.

One bowl of cereal is never enough but the second bowl is always too much. Why must you torture me so, cereal?

sevro77
That edge is practically lightsaber sharp at that speed before he starts to crimp it.
YesmynameisGreg
Don't worry, he has his safety rag.
Tarmaccian
I think that’s why the first thing he does is blunt the edge.
Yellowboy66
After reaching past it to grab the tool, that he likes to keep nestled just behind the spinning blade of death.
Totalwombat
Thats centring it. May also remove the burr. But it defintly is to centre it
PuckerScream
Ah, I see he's using the OSHA-approved method of dismounting the bowl when it's done.
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
Along with the approved hearing protection. I SAID ALONG WITH THE HEARING PROTECTION!!!!
LongJurassicNerve
At least he wrapped the wires around the ears to make them shorter and tucked it in the shirt, smart man 😉
