I recall seeing that. Truly terrifying!Anyone seen the high school kid trying to hold a lathe from spinning?
It's a wonder he wasn't killed.
Richard Feynman is the closest thing I have to a hero.Crikey. There are lessons in what not to do right there, aren't there.
The best explanation I've ever seen of the kind of attitude that leads to that sort of unsafe working right here, three minutes in:
"Ain't nothin' happened before..."
Joe Pie also has a great video on why you shouldn't drill "freehand" on a drill press and advocates a simple hook shaped stop that would have prevented that radial arm incident entirely.
Typically these YouTube videos are from the post mortem/safety investigation. Sort of like a LiveLeak or WikiLeak type scenario. The narrator is likely a safety officer or manager that, while viewing the surveillance video in the factory, was filming either on their desktop or more likely with their phones and then posted the recording on YT.I am thinking that whoever it was that shot the vid did so because they knew what was coming when they saw the setup with that long bar sticking out. You can hear 2 people talking about it before it happens.
