Lathe rips shirt off operator - GIF

Sure he was hollering quite soon, but it was nearly over before the dog and co-worker reacted, that's pretty fast.

All those points made are viable, in no particular order; clear floor, proper footwear, not reaching over rotating machinery, lightweight clothing, a laugh for the COVID mask (more proof administrative safety is secondary to personal safety), better primary shut-off mechanisms, minimally an E-stop.... Can even question the shop layout, who lines up lathes along a wall?

Most, if not all of those we have complete control of. Serious accidents don't get do overs.

Make sure the only shirt you loose to machinery is an unsatisfactory purchase.

Thanks toolmaker. You summed it up well. Stay safe and healthy.
