Lathe safety/stupidity accident video

[Jon]

A non-graphic lathe safety video originally featured on the excellent Safety Engineering Network.

This is in contrast to a previous video showing a worker accidentally pulled into a lathe.

Habit-wise, it also stands in contrast to another previous video we've featured showing a worker falling on a construction site. In that previous video, the worker was doing something we've likely all done before: climbing a ladder while carrying something. This video demonstrates something I've never seen, or even heard of, anyone doing before.

In this short video, entitled "I fought the lathe and the lathe won", nobody is seriously hurt. In fact this would be an excellent video to show to people first being introduced to working on a lathe. A young gentleman of questionable intellect, assisted by his similarly-challenged comrades, attempts a contest of strength against a lathe.
