No loose clothing or gloves should be used around a spinning machinery

About 30 years ago a bloke I used to work with who basically lived in overalls and safety toe gumboots,(was banned from drag-racing because he refused to NOT wear his gumboots), was working early one morning modifying some blower parts and got his sleeve caught. He said the lathe was only turning slowly but he got dragged in and wrapped around the chuck. He did manage to hit the stop button on the way and his wife found him about 04:00hrs.
Many, many years of rehabilitation and still physically not good. Very experienced machinist who had grown up in a workshop.
How many machinists wear overalls?
