    u/CauliflowerDeep129, we have no idea if your submission fits r/SweatyPalms or not. There weren't enough votes to determine that. It's up to the human mods now....!

    Large metal lathes take the gold for rotary tools imo. Seent plenty of videos of people getting caught up in those things. My OSHA instructor showed no mercy lol.

    Yeah after the accident strips everything off his skeleton, his coworker says, "You ought to put some meat on them bones." And then everybody laughed and laughed. /s

    Without spoiling too much tho, insomnia and machine work are a scary combo.

    There are 2 or 3 that I've seen going around.

    One with a younger guy who gets turned into pink mist and lumps of organs thrown around the room.

    Another with an older guy who gets rolled up around the lathe and squeezed like a tube of toothpaste.

    If they just took the cameras out of those places, we wouldn’t need those pesky regulations.

    I accidentally stumbled on a compilation video and have never been the same since. Any rotary rool I see at scale just summons....people becoming skin pillows and blood sacks. Oh god. They're awful. They're so awful. My appreciation for OSHA cannot reach higher.

    I’m thinking if it cracks (at the right angle) and the bottom part of the log gets shot against his abdomen and mainly chest, at intense speed. It’s going be his retirement day, hopefully alive.

    "You know how you'll get a bag of ice and the ice clumps together so you have to smash it on the ground a few times to shatter it?

    Imagine that, but it's your body and a lot more smashing, before they get to the emergency off switch."
