I got my hand stuck in a CNC lathe once, manually setting the last piece of the material against the stop plate.. not sure why it happened.. probably user error… but the force was strong enough to hold my hand in place but not enough to break bones. Ended up turning all the way around and with my left hand carefully turning the nob the correct direction to move the turret away. No injuries and no longer at a machine shop.
You probably forgot to stop the program with a g code. Never heard of anyone getting hurt on a CNC machine like that but that would be my guess. Way more common in manual machining
My uncle in Alberta, Canada somehow got his leg caught in a combine harvester and was trapped until someone realized he wasn’t back from the field at his normal time. He ended up losing his lower leg.
Lived on a big piece of land and work with a lot of farm equipment my whole life. Never been that badly injured but feel like ive dodged death a dozen times. One time a 2X2 square board snapped and an 8 foot spike went flying thru my armpit at like 100 miles an hour and made a clean hole thru my shirt under my arm, next to my chest and heart but didnt leave a scratch
I know of some farmers loosing their wedding finger from jumping out of a tractor cab and getting the ring caught on the door handle and jumping 3 to five feet down! Ouch!
A ring can also deglove a finger. All the skin and muscle is pulled off just like a glove hence the name. It’s what happened to Jimmy Fallon. It’s the same reason why athletes, basket ball players in particular are not allowed to wear jewelry unlike what I see in other spots such as base ball. A ring can get caught on the hoop
My great grandfather lost his arm from the elbow down in a mill accident. Before lockout procedures, the equipment operator left for lunch while he was working in it and someone walked by and turned it on. Ripped it right off. He has a hook my whole childhood.
A lot of what keeps you safe is just special awareness. Have the natural inclination to keep an invisible safety inch barrier around dangerous stuff is pretty important. I still wouldn’t have trusted me with a chainsaw at age 9 but my grandfather was a firm believer in the “toss them in the pool” method of teaching.
Companies have safety measures in place ONLY so in the case of a lawsuit from an injury you can't get anything (talcum powder and baby formula companies sold poisonous products for decades knowing the risk and just did the math on the profit made minus the lawsuit's) the safety measures aren't even there to keep you safe they wanna work you like a dog up to a point we're you might get injured but don't so you go home fall down or stand up too fast break your back and they aren't at fault when 90% of your physical activity was at that job(stress fractures occur most of the time days leading up to a accident like a rubber band breaking suddenly)

the worst farm injuries have to be the PTO on tractors, or somehow involved with the PTO. that axle is turning with the power of the massive diesel engine, and it will wrap an arm or leg around it like its a rubber band. much like a lathe, but with WAY more torque and far slower speed . imagine trying to twist or break a living fresh twig on a tree, the way the bark splits, and it exposes the inner green insides of the wood, thats what happens to human limbs in a lathe, or a PTO
Ive worked and been in machine shop all my life. About 15yrs ago there was a guy running a vertical lathe with 3ft table. He was turning a big piece of plastic. I watched as he spun it up and accidentally rapid the cutter into the workpiece. It threw that part like a frisbee into his torso, he flew back 3ft into a steel table. He left on a stretcher!!!
lol. funny to look back now, but as 17 year olds we were operating steel lathes as part of a certificate of engineering at our school. For the most part we were wearing long sleeve cotton high school jumpers also.
I was an engineering student and you get to use the machine shop for manufacturing some parts for your final year project. I used a metal lathe and it really is not that dangerous as long as you adhere to a few somewhat obvious rules when using the equipment. If you have long hair, obviously it should be tied up. Do not use gloves with any high power mechanical equipment and do not have long sleeves. As long as you do all these things there should be no problem. The machines are operated by spinning knobs/wheels that are reasonably far away from the actual moving component. In the case of a CNC you literally just press buttons from a control pad and watch the machine do its thing. Tons of machinery can fuck you up but there's little reason to be worried with proper use. People aren't scared to drive cars or mow their lawn.
Absolute worst death is the guys who died by getting sucked out of a whole the size of a tomato. They where in a pressure tank at like 3.0 atmospheres prepping for a dive to fix a oil rig, and one of them opened the door. The cleaning crew needed counseling and one of the guy's livers was found in tact 23 feet away. Fucking human spaghetti bro. Be pretty quick I guess but fuck.
The autopsy photo of what was left of the guy is some gnarly shit. serves as a cautionary tale that an oil rig is a dangerous environment and the slightest mistake can cost your life.
The saw that just takes the shitty edge off of the board? I worked one of those for 2 years and it only kicked back once. I tried to hold on so the operator wouldn't get speared but It was so powerful I couldn't do anything. Shit crazy
@@TheOtherViolentJ yeah it just nips the ends off. The saw itself wasn't the problem. I kept up on the blades so kickbacks weren't even a thing much less an issue. The entire mill, so 2 head saws, 2 band saws and 2 edgers all dumped onto my deck and then those all dumped into a tub. It was supposed to pull one board out at a time and make the job easier. But all it really did was give shit a place to get caught and it was always literally throwing boards up to the rafters, over the machine and at the operator. The guy before me got his jaw broke and lost like half his teeth
I currently working a CNC Mill/Lathe shop but prior I had also worked in a pretty big saw mill. I ran a bull saw, if there’s one thing that goes wrong it’s a nightmare. One time, the guys running saws got ahead of the edgers so there was pretty big back up of boards. One got cocked sideways on the feed table, and jammed between one of the buildings support beams and the bottom of the still moving table. New kid, been there about three weeks was unfortunately the one who got it. The board snapped like a twig under all the pressure, spun around and smacked the kid right in shoulder. Then it popped up off his shoulder and still had enough momentum to break his jaw. I’ve never seen someone so brutally injured, he had his jaw wired for god knows how long. Brutal stuff, I’m lucky to have never seen a machine shop incident besides that one considering some of the “less skilled” labor that goes through those places
Never had any serious injury in the workplace. Had some close calls with a bandsaw but worst injury was a nasty friction burn from a belt sander. Still got to be on your toes. Lathes scare the shit out of me, regardless of their type. Although recently the stupidest thing I did was spin up a disc of wood no less than a few inches wide on a motor shaft, bloody disc fractured and launched a large chunk at my chest, nice bruise for a few days, makes me wonder how many teeth it would've removed if it landed a few inches higher.
I Was running an automatic saw, cutting 1 inch stock from 4 20inch pieces of bar stock. The fixture was secured correctly, all the parts tightened and placed right. It still managed too shear off a piece of the aluminum bar wrong and send it right into chest. Luckily it was low feed so that part wasnt flying as fast as a normal run, but I still pulled out about 5/8 inch piece of aluminum. Almost got me right in the nipple too, would’ve been weird piercing😂
Warning don’t look video up if curious, i did and found a similar video. Guy walks up and leans over machine arm gets stuck, sucks his arm around and his body is standing motionless. Couple seconds later entire body of a 180-200 pound male gets sucked up and starts spinning around it. Next couple of seconds it literally disappears all of his body turns into blood and jello splattering across the shop. Then a co worker runs up and turns off machine while he is being sprayed by man’s fluids. Sickening 💀💀💀
Live in ohio 3 farmers drowned in manure this week. They were brothers one fell in a giant container that had cow manure in it, the 2nd brother jumped in after him, both passed out from the fumes and drowned, ig the third brother found them later that day panicked jumped in to save them and met the same fate.
How does Wax look exactly the same as he did 10 years ago??? "Cause I been rapping since Eric Clapton was back with the Yardbirds" The man is aging like wine, it's insane
I think lathes scare me the most of anything in the shop! Just the sound lets you know if you get anything caught in it it's going to come off. The scary thing is that it has so much power it's not going to only take the thing you get caught in it.
I Totally feel what Kyle says about how he looks at certain tools. Some tools are just like damn that's impressive and dangerous. But I definitely see many tools that way
I work on metal lathes and CNC lathes You sit there make sure everything is correct before doing anything on the manual machines, we dont use gloves because your finger tips can get caught and then your spun around a chuck at whatever RPM its set to AND IT WILL PULL YOU AROUND A 3 INCH BAR AND MAKE YOU INTO A PAIR OF OVERALLS AND CHUM FOR FISH One of the worst vids ive seen with a lathe death is a 60 year old man quite experienced and he gets caught around a 3 inch bar, the machine stops when he hits the bed but once the machine senses load itll ask the motor for more torge, his body went through a 5 inch gap and his brain flew out the other side hitting the factory wall so hard it was glued to the wall After the obliteration his guts and skin were all over the bed and swarf bin underneath the bed of the lathe, one bit of skin was from the bottom of his torso and then up to his chest and it was still intact CNCs well you stand in front of a door and never go near any moving parts
I’m trying to work in a machine shop during my gap year before college. Good money and work I think is super interesting. I saw a video on Reddit of a Russian dude that got caught in it and it just turned him into mush basically. Turned him through a few times and then the bones were no problem at all, after that it was just a meat sack getting spun around until it gave out and his guts and blood flew all over. Shit scares the absolute fuck out of me, but also interesting at the same time.
A few years back I read about a farmer in the UK who's arm was ripped off and he was discovered walking down a country lane over a mile away from where the accident occurred in a complete state of shock and he was carrying the severed arm! Amazingly he survived, how he did not bleed out I do not know.
Speaking of farming accidents one of my favorite movies it's called Metalhead it's in Norwegian though starts with the main characters older brother getting decapitated by the farming equipment
"That was weird as a kid, that's not enough fingers" Yeah beats my grandma, who was a diabetic with one leg. Found out when we were visiting and I tripped over a leg on my way to the bathroom when I was like 5
I’m a machinist. Lathes are definitely the scariest machines we use by far. The bigger the lathe the more HP the motor has, and it doesn’t care if there’s human flesh in the way.
My grandpa didn't get his hand stuck in anything to lose his half his pinky. His brother cut it off with an axe on accident while chopping wood for their house when he was way younger. He was pointing out a spot that would split the wood the best and his brother trying to hit near it to scare him cut his pinky off. Then it being in the 1940s his mom threw it in a fire cause she didn't think it could be saved. So that's is the story of how my grandpa lost half his pinky
@@LiftandBeer Exactly. Had a close encounter with a manual spring compressor and a latex glove, the boss was using an airgun to actuate it rather than a ratchet and the pin which coupled the drive shaft of the compressor to the bolt head which the airgun turned had been replaced with a loose fitting bolt. I held by hand up near the bolt because I was concerned about the bolt flying out and my latex glove snagged on it, luckily it ripped the palm of the glove but came close to opening my hand up or wrapping it around the shaft.
Craziest lathe accident video I’ve seen is a guy (I think in China where the safety standards are close to zero) getting caught in the spinny part, and it grabs him by the torso and does not let go. His body is spinning at however many RPMs those things runs and his legs are smacking into the concrete floor each rotation. His legs keeps slamming and slamming until there’s nothing left but bones and the rest of him just shoots off in different directions
I was wondering if that's the video they were watching but the more they explained it the less likely that was lol. Cause the dude in the video you described probably died instantly..... Can't get that video out of my head
its becoming the standard in my industry that if a peace of glass is too big to fit in the lift they put it on top of the lift and i stand on top holding a 200lb 12ft sheet of glass up the shaft. its cheaper than renting a crane i guess
Sounds like the industry standard is gonna be you dying. I’m a welder/fitter so a super dangerous job too. Don’t ever risk your safety n health for a job that doesn’t care about you. Its not worth it at all man
@@UnimpressedGoose you're right. im a contractor and there is allway another crew waiting for me to fuck a job up we lost a couple of hig rise building to some sketchy blokes. i have to pick my battles to be honest, just until they fuck up and i can charge extra to rip out and re fit their shit.
I work at a trade school and run manual lathes for hours at a time, hearing Kyle talk about getting sucked into one was never really a fear of mine, especially since the on/off lever that you use comstantly is about 4 inches away from an exposed feed rod/rotating shaft 🤣
gloves are actually a no-no when working with rotating equipment... getting hit/scratched/finger cut off will be nothing compared to getting sucked in by the arm and not being able to do anything. Also this is the reason Lathes Have brakes, sometimes literally a car brake, and its activated by a foot pedal that stops the whole thing as quickly as possible. When i work my foot is hovering the pedal most of the time, still that will not prevent you from dying immediately if you do something stupid
Legit 5 days ago one of my friends nearly died because of cleaning out the grain bins with the auger and caught his leg in it and tore 2/3 of his tendons apart and some family members have lost their fingers with only half a hand left
Haha, Kyle "a machinest can make a intricate piece out of metal" Woody "a door nob" Kyle do you get extra for baby sitting? Your patience amaze me loool
Being a chipper maggot is no joke not only can you get sucked in but depending on how the rollers take a log of wood in if your leaning to far over the the log your feeding in prepare to get your head or limbs instantly crushed. And make sure your emergency stops work and tell your boss to fuck off if he won't get em fixed.
We used Wood Lathes in 7th Grade Woodshop. We did NOT use Metal Lathes even in High School Metal Shop...we did Welding in Metal Shop; Spot, Arc, Tig/Mig, and Oxyacetylene Torches...we used Forges to make the handles for Toolboxes. We used Bandsaws, Jig Saws, Grinders, ect in Middle School, but never a Metal Lathe. That should give an idea of how dangerous Metal Lathes can be.
1:35 this saws are no joke. people drive themselves bannas just to prep the perfect cut and then rush on the most important part, safety. Shortcuts with saws is no shortcut. Cut 30 seconds faster but now I need to screw it in missing a thumb.
As a kid I nearly got ran over but only because they were shooting rabbit we walked and the line like 8 dudes all were blasting away and loads of shot was coming through a Bush so me and his son hit the floor and one of the hands driving a John deer nearly squished us fun times
Had a buddy that was working on a big wheel and during his test run he noticed he cut the break and wreck back first into a mail truck blew his heart out his ass hole gave him linguine legs the family is still waiting on restoration from Fisher Price ... Word around town 7 clowns jumped out the back of that mail truck
On the topic of lathes a woman I’m my state got sucked into a carbon fiber driveshaft lathe head first and got spun around like a million times, they pulled chunks of her out of the epoxy drip tray and the parents still had a open casket
Is that one where basically an older guy gets caught because he was wearing a puffy jacket? And then basically the lathe starts spinning again and basically tears all his body apart in tiny pieces? Yeah, that one was bad. But actually that's something that in censored way should be shown to every student that's working with such tools.
My grandfather had a heart attack while raking hay, fell off his cabless tractor and the rake ran over him. I found him because the tractor drove itself into the farm yard and hit my truck. Neither killed him, he had a broken leg and a bunch of holes poked into him.
I can think a lot of high power or common industrial tools that scare me way more than guns. Even a mild or disturbed person with a gun can be talked down or diffused. But some of that equipment, if you slip up or make the wrong move, you just die. Or at least your life gets instantly and horrifically altered.
i feel like people get too comfortable around machines after awhile of working with them. One of my grandpas friends who has been doing all kinds of work with him for years just lost the tip of his finger in a table saw. First injury i ever saw him get and he has atleast 30 to 40 years of experience wood working. Point is no matter how long you been doing something it only takes a second for things to go very wrong.
I used to work at a place with a cardboard bailing machine and it was easy to fall into and it would of cut you in half and squashed you at the same time.
They allowed us in high school to run metal lathes and welders unsupervised in metal tech class 😂🤣 and was also running wood chippers that would suck in pretty much a full tree at a lumber yard from 16 to 18 and I personally don't know anyone that's ever been hurt so that kid had to have really been doing some stupid stuff to get sucked into that wood chipper. White cow said she just got to have a healthy respect for those kind of things
It was very likely bound up by shoving too much in or too thick of a branch, which he tried to fix by just leaving the machine on and kicking the wood in.
Farming is more dangerous than firefighting or police. A friend's grand dad aphixiated in a silo accident. I met a farmer who had some of his fingers and thumb replaced by his toes. A neihbor died from jumping off a tractor and impaling himself on a pithcfork handle. A coworker of mine was kicked in the knee by a heifer and collapsed screaming in cow manure and was hospitalized. A beet truck driver fell into a beet piler wing and was mangled to death by the belt. In farming you work with automated machines who don't care that you are in the way and animals that have mind of their own.
A lathe is perfectly safe when it’s off. They forget to mention that it’s all controlled by wheels to adjust cutting depth and distance. It’s only really dumb people who get die from them. You press the green button to spin and you press the red button to stop.

Well that clears that up, Thanks
I was an engineering student and you get to use the machine shop for manufacturing some parts for your final year project. I used a metal lathe and it really is not that dangerous as long as you adhere to a few somewhat obvious rules when using the equipment. If you have long hair, obviously it should be tied up. Do not use gloves with any high power mechanical equipment and do not have long sleeves. As long as you do all these things there should be no problem. The machines are operated by spinning knobs/wheels that are reasonably far away from the actual moving component. In the case of a CNC you literally just press buttons from a control pad and watch the machine do its thing. Tons of machinery can fuck you up but there's little reason to be worried with proper use. People aren't scared to drive cars or mow their lawn.
Absolute worst death is the guys who died by getting sucked out of a whole the size of a tomato. They where in a pressure tank at like 3.0 atmospheres prepping for a dive to fix a oil rig, and one of them opened the door. The cleaning crew needed counseling and one of the guy's livers was found in tact 23 feet away. Fucking human spaghetti bro. Be pretty quick I guess but fuck.

@ᅠ I mean suffering wise its pretty low I guess but in terms of gore I wouldn't want to be the janitor.
The autopsy photo of what was left of the guy is some gnarly shit. serves as a cautionary tale that an oil rig is a dangerous environment and the slightest mistake can cost your life.

I worked at a sawmill for almost 15 years and that shit was pretty nuts. I ran the trim saw and there wasn't much room for error
The saw that just takes the shitty edge off of the board? I worked one of those for 2 years and it only kicked back once. I tried to hold on so the operator wouldn't get speared but It was so powerful I couldn't do anything. Shit crazy
@@TheOtherViolentJ yeah it just nips the ends off. The saw itself wasn't the problem. I kept up on the blades so kickbacks weren't even a thing much less an issue. The entire mill, so 2 head saws, 2 band saws and 2 edgers all dumped onto my deck and then those all dumped into a tub. It was supposed to pull one board out at a time and make the job easier. But all it really did was give shit a place to get caught and it was always literally throwing boards up to the rafters, over the machine and at the operator. The guy before me got his jaw broke and lost like half his teeth
I currently working a CNC Mill/Lathe shop but prior I had also worked in a pretty big saw mill. I ran a bull saw, if there’s one thing that goes wrong it’s a nightmare.
One time, the guys running saws got ahead of the edgers so there was pretty big back up of boards. One got cocked sideways on the feed table, and jammed between one of the buildings support beams and the bottom of the still moving table.
New kid, been there about three weeks was unfortunately the one who got it. The board snapped like a twig under all the pressure, spun around and smacked the kid right in shoulder. Then it popped up off his shoulder and still had enough momentum to break his jaw.
I’ve never seen someone so brutally injured, he had his jaw wired for god knows how long. Brutal stuff, I’m lucky to have never seen a machine shop incident besides that one considering some of the “less skilled” labor that goes through those places
As a Carpenter i am glad to be able to still order ten pints
Never had any serious injury in the workplace. Had some close calls with a bandsaw but worst injury was a nasty friction burn from a belt sander. Still got to be on your toes. Lathes scare the shit out of me, regardless of their type. Although recently the stupidest thing I did was spin up a disc of wood no less than a few inches wide on a motor shaft, bloody disc fractured and launched a large chunk at my chest, nice bruise for a few days, makes me wonder how many teeth it would've removed if it landed a few inches higher.
I Was running an automatic saw, cutting 1 inch stock from 4 20inch pieces of bar stock. The fixture was secured correctly, all the parts tightened and placed right. It still managed too shear off a piece of the aluminum bar wrong and send it right into chest. Luckily it was low feed so that part wasnt flying as fast as a normal run, but I still pulled out about 5/8 inch piece of aluminum. Almost got me right in the nipple too, would’ve been weird piercing😂
Warning don’t look video up if curious, i did and found a similar video. Guy walks up and leans over machine arm gets stuck, sucks his arm around and his body is standing motionless. Couple seconds later entire body of a 180-200 pound male gets sucked up and starts spinning around it. Next couple of seconds it literally disappears all of his body turns into blood and jello splattering across the shop. Then a co worker runs up and turns off machine while he is being sprayed by man’s fluids. Sickening 💀💀💀
even imagening that is awful
Wearing gloves is actually worse because if the glove gets caught it will pull your hand in.
7:30 We have a lathe at work that's 2500hp, to give an idea of contrast.
Live in ohio 3 farmers drowned in manure this week. They were brothers one fell in a giant container that had cow manure in it, the 2nd brother jumped in after him, both passed out from the fumes and drowned, ig the third brother found them later that day panicked jumped in to save them and met the same fate.
Damn, what a shitty way to go...

You would think using a stick to push them weeds in that machine would be better than using your hand
kyles typical confidence is nowhere to be seen when discussing the metal laive
A girl once got scalped at my lil trade school thing there’s still hair in the lathe , that’s the day when everyone had to start using hair ties lmao
I think lathes scare me the most of anything in the shop! Just the sound lets you know if you get anything caught in it it's going to come off. The scary thing is that it has so much power it's not going to only take the thing you get caught in it.
I Totally feel what Kyle says about how he looks at certain tools. Some tools are just like damn that's impressive and dangerous. But I definitely see many tools that way
Me being a machinist who also hobby farms (I'm in danger meme)
I work on metal lathes and CNC lathes
You sit there make sure everything is correct before doing anything on the manual machines, we dont use gloves because your finger tips can get caught and then your spun around a chuck at whatever RPM its set to
AND IT WILL PULL YOU AROUND A 3 INCH BAR AND MAKE YOU INTO A PAIR OF OVERALLS AND CHUM FOR FISH
One of the worst vids ive seen with a lathe death is a 60 year old man quite experienced and he gets caught around a 3 inch bar, the machine stops when he hits the bed but once the machine senses load itll ask the motor for more torge, his body went through a 5 inch gap and his brain flew out the other side hitting the factory wall so hard it was glued to the wall
After the obliteration his guts and skin were all over the bed and swarf bin underneath the bed of the lathe, one bit of skin was from the bottom of his torso and then up to his chest and it was still intact
CNCs well you stand in front of a door and never go near any moving parts
I’m trying to work in a machine shop during my gap year before college. Good money and work I think is super interesting. I saw a video on Reddit of a Russian dude that got caught in it and it just turned him into mush basically. Turned him through a few times and then the bones were no problem at all, after that it was just a meat sack getting spun around until it gave out and his guts and blood flew all over. Shit scares the absolute fuck out of me, but also interesting at the same time.
A few years back I read about a farmer in the UK who's arm was ripped off and he was discovered walking down a country lane over a mile away from where the accident occurred in a complete state of shock and he was carrying the severed arm! Amazingly he survived, how he did not bleed out I do not know.
I just googled it to make sure I had not dreamt it and they even managed to reattach his arm!
A Lathe is the only machine that can be used to make a copy of itself by itself alone.
Theres a dude here on YT that that lost damn near his whole body in a forklift accident and somehow lived. The channel name is Sabia and Loren.
Speaking of farming accidents one of my favorite movies it's called Metalhead it's in Norwegian though starts with the main characters older brother getting decapitated by the farming equipment
"That was weird as a kid, that's not enough fingers"
Yeah beats my grandma, who was a diabetic with one leg. Found out when we were visiting and I tripped over a leg on my way to the bathroom when I was like 5
I’m a machinist. Lathes are definitely the scariest machines we use by far. The bigger the lathe the more HP the motor has, and it doesn’t care if there’s human flesh in the way.
funny thing is my manufacturing class in high school had metal lathes that everybody used
My grandpa didn't get his hand stuck in anything to lose his half his pinky. His brother cut it off with an axe on accident while chopping wood for their house when he was way younger. He was pointing out a spot that would split the wood the best and his brother trying to hit near it to scare him cut his pinky off. Then it being in the 1940s his mom threw it in a fire cause she didn't think it could be saved. So that's is the story of how my grandpa lost half his pinky
i feel like the only chance you have with heavy machinery catching you is if your clothes are shit enough to just tear
Work in your pants, or even better, stark bollock naked.
@@jds355 then you’re junk will be hanging around the machinery
By the time it rips you're in the machine.
@@LiftandBeer Exactly. Had a close encounter with a manual spring compressor and a latex glove, the boss was using an airgun to actuate it rather than a ratchet and the pin which coupled the drive shaft of the compressor to the bolt head which the airgun turned had been replaced with a loose fitting bolt. I held by hand up near the bolt because I was concerned about the bolt flying out and my latex glove snagged on it, luckily it ripped the palm of the glove but came close to opening my hand up or wrapping it around the shaft.
@@jds355 dude I just goosebumps hearing that. Thank God you didn't deglove your hand.
I've worked with a wood chipper once, and yeah it's pretty scary. Respect the machine, take it slow, and work smart.
I worked on a fleece farm for many years growing up. Farmer died a few years ago in a Cessna crash. RIP Norm
Them trying to picture to us the gore video is amazing
"Not only will this kill you, it will hurt the whole time you are dying."
Craziest lathe accident video I’ve seen is a guy (I think in China where the safety standards are close to zero) getting caught in the spinny part, and it grabs him by the torso and does not let go. His body is spinning at however many RPMs those things runs and his legs are smacking into the concrete floor each rotation. His legs keeps slamming and slamming until there’s nothing left but bones and the rest of him just shoots off in different directions
I was wondering if that's the video they were watching but the more they explained it the less likely that was lol. Cause the dude in the video you described probably died instantly..... Can't get that video out of my head
its becoming the standard in my industry that if a peace of glass is too big to fit in the lift they put it on top of the lift and i stand on top holding a 200lb 12ft sheet of glass up the shaft. its cheaper than renting a crane i guess
Sounds like the industry standard is gonna be you dying. I’m a welder/fitter so a super dangerous job too. Don’t ever risk your safety n health for a job that doesn’t care about you. Its not worth it at all man
@@UnimpressedGoose you're right. im a contractor and there is allway another crew waiting for me to fuck a job up we lost a couple of hig rise building to some sketchy blokes. i have to pick my battles to be honest, just until they fuck up and i can charge extra to rip out and re fit their shit.
@@jimathybindlenim6359 just be safe out there man. You don’t wanna up like my coworker Jamie No Thumbs😂
@@UnimpressedGoose yeh i saw a guy cut straight down the middle of his hand with a drop saw like he was doing the spock live long and prosper thing
I thought Wax was Chester Bennington for a second
I work at a trade school and run manual lathes for hours at a time, hearing Kyle talk about getting sucked into one was never really a fear of mine, especially since the on/off lever that you use comstantly is about 4 inches away from an exposed feed rod/rotating shaft 🤣
gloves are actually a no-no when working with rotating equipment... getting hit/scratched/finger cut off will be nothing compared to getting sucked in by the arm and not being able to do anything. Also this is the reason Lathes Have brakes, sometimes literally a car brake, and its activated by a foot pedal that stops the whole thing as quickly as possible. When i work my foot is hovering the pedal most of the time, still that will not prevent you from dying immediately if you do something stupid
4:30 why are we assuming this wasn’t the work of Candyman?
Legit 5 days ago one of my friends nearly died because of cleaning out the grain bins with the auger and caught his leg in it and tore 2/3 of his tendons apart and some family members have lost their fingers with only half a hand left
Haha, Kyle "a machinest can make a intricate piece out of metal"
Woody "a door nob"
Kyle do you get extra for baby sitting?
Your patience amaze me loool
Being a chipper maggot is no joke not only can you get sucked in but depending on how the rollers take a log of wood in if your leaning to far over the the log your feeding in prepare to get your head or limbs instantly crushed. And make sure your emergency stops work and tell your boss to fuck off if he won't get em fixed.
His body was literally ripped to pices he did not survive for 25 minutes woody
We used Wood Lathes in 7th Grade Woodshop.
We did NOT use Metal Lathes even in High School Metal Shop...we did Welding in Metal Shop; Spot, Arc, Tig/Mig, and Oxyacetylene Torches...we used Forges to make the handles for Toolboxes. We used Bandsaws, Jig Saws, Grinders, ect in Middle School, but never a Metal Lathe.
That should give an idea of how dangerous Metal Lathes can be.
1:35 this saws are no joke. people drive themselves bannas just to prep the perfect cut and then rush on the most important part, safety. Shortcuts with saws is no shortcut. Cut 30 seconds faster but now I need to screw it in missing a thumb.
Sheet metal rollers are the scariest machines in a shop in my opinion or the giant grinder we had, think bench grinder but to big for any bench.
7:45 wood turning lathe fatal spinning on reddit
Found that metal lathe video online. Dude gets flipped around and blood sprays the wall behind the machine and some meat chunks get tossed out
I thought for sure kyle was gonna say he looks at a wood chipper the same way he looks at a gun.
Then i remembered who he is.
As a kid I nearly got ran over but only because they were shooting rabbit we walked and the line like 8 dudes all were blasting away and loads of shot was coming through a Bush so me and his son hit the floor and one of the hands driving a John deer nearly squished us fun times
First rule of work is to have fun
Had a buddy that was working on a big wheel and during his test run he noticed he cut the break and wreck back first into a mail truck blew his heart out his ass hole gave him linguine legs the family is still waiting on restoration from Fisher Price ... Word around town 7 clowns jumped out the back of that mail truck
Damn sounds like gay scat explosion
I almost went in a chipper when I was 20 always pushed stuff with another piece of wood to not take chances.
Lol I know the feeling. I'm afraid to go near those lathes. They should install a dead man's switch.
On the topic of lathes a woman I’m my state got sucked into a carbon fiber driveshaft lathe head first and got spun around like a million times, they pulled chunks of her out of the epoxy drip tray and the parents still had a open casket
What the fuck did they put in the casket if they were pulling chunks of her off the equipment? A damn shopping bag?
So sad cause Wax was great in this hope the guy gets better and is on the path to being better
I fukkin love wax, been listening to that dude since like 2010
A lathe price vs a CNC is astronomical.
i live on a farm in Canada and i know people that have lost both arms in a auger (don't stick your hands where you wouldn't stick you winner)
I saw the Russian metal lathe video.
I regret everything.
Is that one where basically an older guy gets caught because he was wearing a puffy jacket? And then basically the lathe starts spinning again and basically tears all his body apart in tiny pieces? Yeah, that one was bad. But actually that's something that in censored way should be shown to every student that's working with such tools.
I saw one where the whole body got wrapped around and the body was flipping over and over .
that one, yes
You see the aftermath photos?

I can think a lot of high power or common industrial tools that scare me way more than guns. Even a mild or disturbed person with a gun can be talked down or diffused. But some of that equipment, if you slip up or make the wrong move, you just die. Or at least your life gets instantly and horrifically altered.
i feel like people get too comfortable around machines after awhile of working with them. One of my grandpas friends who has been doing all kinds of work with him for years just lost the tip of his finger in a table saw. First injury i ever saw him get and he has atleast 30 to 40 years of experience wood working. Point is no matter how long you been doing something it only takes a second for things to go very wrong.
The chipper drum runs at 2000 RPMs on a wood chipper
I used to work at a place with a cardboard bailing machine and it was easy to fall into and it would of cut you in half and squashed you at the same time.
The tiny detail that the neighbors thought they were getting attacked by bees because of how they were acting is actually spine chilling
My cousins father died after being pulled into a hay bailer. Farming machinery is definitely not meant to be fucked with.
They allowed us in high school to run metal lathes and welders unsupervised in metal tech class 😂🤣 and was also running wood chippers that would suck in pretty much a full tree at a lumber yard from 16 to 18 and I personally don't know anyone that's ever been hurt so that kid had to have really been doing some stupid stuff to get sucked into that wood chipper. White cow said she just got to have a healthy respect for those kind of things
It was very likely bound up by shoving too much in or too thick of a branch, which he tried to fix by just leaving the machine on and kicking the wood in.
If you get sucked into a wood chipper feet first deserve it. You STEPPED INTO A WOOD CHIPPER.
Yep happened in pa kid was so happy about his new job then died on the first day
I didnt know they had chester bennington on before his untimely end.
That's some final destination shit.
Farming is more dangerous than firefighting or police. A friend's grand dad aphixiated in a silo accident. I met a farmer who had some of his fingers and thumb replaced by his toes. A neihbor died from jumping off a tractor and impaling himself on a pithcfork handle. A coworker of mine was kicked in the knee by a heifer and collapsed screaming in cow manure and was hospitalized. A beet truck driver fell into a beet piler wing and was mangled to death by the belt. In farming you work with automated machines who don't care that you are in the way and animals that have mind of their own.
Nobody gonna talk about how they got Chester Bennington as a fucking guest??????
whats the outro music?
I watch lathe accident videos frequently because I work in lathes and familiarity breeds negligence
A lathe is perfectly safe when it’s off. They forget to mention that it’s all controlled by wheels to adjust cutting depth and distance. It’s only really dumb people who get die from them. You press the green button to spin and you press the red button to stop.
Wax giving riveting commentary
