Not quite sure...was doing a rush job, my mind drifted off for not even half a sec..........and the next thing i know i was looking at the burn hole in my glove...

Its ok to go down with the canoe as long as you tap the bottom 3 times ...innit,,,,,

[..DAZ..]

Had a bonfire after my last annual gardening effort, but put a bit too much petrol on to get it going... Two nights in hospital with 6 or 8 % burns.

You were quite lucky, my brother done the same last year. He was burning his garden rubbish and used petrol, but it went out the first time, so he poured some more in only to discover it was still lit, he jamp back with the fright, knocked over the petrol can and then fell into the resulting pool of burning petrol. He's lucky he has a pond in his garden and managed to put himself out before driving 20 miles to the nearest hospital where on arrival he collapsed. He was moved immediatley to the special burns unit at Ninewells hospital in dundee where he spent the next three months being operated on after recieving 60% 3rd-4th degree burns. After much plastic surgery he is on the mend but now has to wear a pressure garment for at least the next year (23 hrs a day) and has lost 70% mobility in his left arm and has some extremely nasty scarring that will be with him the rest of his life, luckilly it missed most of his face. I almost lost the plot with him when I first saw him in the hospital, but when I saw the state of him I couldn't speak. His first words to me were "I know..........I know)
He also knows how lucky he is to be alive, most people with that severity of burn don't survive with all the complications it brings about. So for anybody reading this DO NOT USE PETROL TO START A FIRE!!! It will bite you eventually.

Found a page (link below) showing pics of a lethal accident at a lathe.

Before you follow the link, ask yourself whether you can handle some really nasty pics and serious splatter. It's not for the faint of heart!







Think twice!!

That is some serious stuff there , if your squeamish dont look !

 

[Sparkey]

Aaargh! bu&&er the guy is still looking at you with one eye....
That's hardcore Steffen!

 

[chevyman_de]

Yes, that can definitely spoil one's appetite for some time.

But pics like those help me to be cautious when working with tools, especially with machines. So far I've never got any bruises from working with tools or machines a standard plaster couldn't handle.

 

[Sparkey]

Yes, we need to see those things every once and awhile, just to stay alert!
Didn't ruin my appetite tho...got any more gross links?

 

[chevyman_de]

No more links of that sort, my demand for this is low. Three decades ago at a railway station I saw a guy commiting suicide by jumping in front of a passing train, less than 10 meters away from me. That lasts for ages...

 

[madkayaker]

bet that took some cleaning up.

 

[rory1]

that makes you feel a little sick, but it will make me think more when im emery papering off my tool marks!

That did the rounds a couple of years back, I think the guy's hoodie flipped forward and got wound round the workpiece. Wonder if he managed to kick the emergency stop....?

 

[madkayaker]

if he did hit the emergency stop im sure it wasn't a conshuince decision
