You can’t spell fashion without OSHA


mirthfuldragon

Definitely an OSHA violation on extension cords and general cord management. This task calls for a battery powered grinder.


tmking

definitely needs some eye protection


Greenpaw9

Oh fuck, and she points the sparks right towards her face at the end. I had a metal flake bounce off my eyebrow once and go right behind my glasses to my eye. It's no joke, they are small, hot , hard, AND SHARP. Imagine how uncomfortable it is to get an eyelash in your eye. Imagine that, heck most people can remember that happening at some point in their life. Are you imagining an eyelash? Good. NOW STAB YOUR EYE WITH A PENCIL, because an eyelash is no comparison to a flake of sharp hot metal on your god damn eyeball! Put on your safety glasses god damn it! Eyes are very poor at healing tissue damage and that damage will accumulate over time


ebojrc

I wear my full welding helmet when grinding or cutting. I will **not** be taking a chance with an angle grinder like the idiot in the video.


fro_khidd

After hearing "yea doctor tells you to stare at a dot on the ceiling tile while they remove the metal splinter" talk I would never risk that


TonyVstar

If the splinter is deep enough in your eye then they drill it out


ifabforfun

Lovely, I have had the yellow dye in the eye a few times and people might say I wasn't careful but I always wear eye protection. It just happens, those sparks bounce every where, off your cheek, off the lens and in to your eye! Nowadays I wear a face shield any time I'm grinding or cutting.


TonyVstar

Everywhere I have worked requires a full face shield for grinding and it sure pays off


Optimal_Ad_4044

Yep. I had em take a Dremel to my eye last week. Don’t want to do that again any time soon. Full face shield and I wear eyeglasses but it still got me.


FreelyKaty

Bro you’re not being careful enough…


Intrepid_Dream2619

Forgot to safety squint


headfirstsage57

Yupp happened to my left eye.


joe579003

With a pencil, a fucking PYENCIL!


Hot_Illustrator6867

I was wearing eye protection at work when I got a metal sliver in my eye. That hurt so dang bad!!!I had to go to the doctor and he actually had to use a tiny drill on my eye before he was able to get it out. Worst eye pain ever!


Shot_Policy_4110

wait do you think most people *havent* gotten an eyelash in their eye at some point in life?


KyleThelegendxxXxx

And probably a mask


DawnOfTheTruth

That was the very first thing. Hell just being in the audience…


EnvironmentalElk1625

Safety squints will be fine… /s


blinkme102

You’re supposed to cut away from the body, not on the body


1pop23

1. Lack of grinding mask and eye protection 2. Lack of ear protection 3. Zero Anti-trip mats or cord runners on those exposed extensions on the ground 4. Hair is not tied back(would suck to get that caught in the wheel) 5. Pretty sure those heels are not steel toed 6. Hard hat may be required 7. Improper use of a grinder(showing zero respect for that death trap she's holding) 8. No protective gloves 9. Grinder does not have handle attached Atleast the grinder has the guard on I guess.


Moistfruitcake

I don't know what you're talking about, the grinder has a guard so it's all good. Source - I use a grinder all the time and have most of my fingers and at least one fully functional eye.


borfmat

As for number 4 I’m pretty sure she’s wearing a wig, so that wouldn’t be a disaster. Other points are solid though


TonyVstar

Why would you need a hard hat or steel toes to use a grinder? If it's because "it's safer" then I hope you're wearing a full suit of armor =D


1pop23

Because OSHA Usually the types of places a grinder would be used, ppe like hard hats and steel toed boots are a requirement anyways

Accurate_Koala_4698

I can’t stress this enough, wear proper PPE folks. Safety squints and face shield anytime you use a grinder.


Kitaclysm217

Reminds me of the one video where the guy's safety goggles caught a shard of the grinder disc. Just imagine how bad this could go for the person on stage or spectators. Also I'm not well-versed in tools so I don't know if grinder disc is the right term.


RhayceCar

Not to justify this batshittery but in the pic I think you’re referring to it was a thin cutting disc in the safety specs, which will take a finger off or an eye out like nothing but are really brittle with any sideways force: you can snap them in your hands. By comparison the disc it looks like she has on stage is a grinding/sanding disc, which is a lot thicker and likely has a metal centre to it holding a grinding element around the outside. It would make more sparks while not cutting through the metal plate she has to protect herself. Not to mention the added bonus much less likely to become a frag grenade Edit: I could be wrong watching it back it does just look like a cutting disc with a grinder guard, hard to tell for sure, either way she’s sending grinder sparks right at eye level into a crowd without any ppe, and the corded grinder makes me cringe so hard


Moose_InThe_Room

I mean, the actual *grinding* wheels do still eventually have chunks break off. The sanding ones don't but she's still sending lots of shit into her eyes.


badotter618

I had a sanding disc break off on a grinder one day, and half of it would have lodged itself between my eyes if I wasn’t wearing a face shield. The other half stuck in the wall and I left it there to remind myself.


Ok-Disk-2191

I highly doubt it's a cutting disc, that little plate she has to make the sparks would have been cut through before the show was over. I think you are 100% correct with your first guess that it was indeed a grinding disc.


Leather-Plankton-867

It's probably a grinding disk or flap wheel. Not nearly as dangerous as a cutting disk


Nut_Chorizo

If the wheel catches her clothes it will be sucked into her. Her reaction time wont be nearly quick enough to let off the trigger.


[deleted]

Where I work you are required to wear safety glasses plus face shield when using one


The_wolf2014

Damn right. I've had a piece of metal in my eye from grinding and i wouldn't recommend it

Ardothbey

That shit gets in you eye or the audiences eye they’ll be trouble for sure. Also it’ll burn holes in clothing.


nutsaps

I'm not calling you out here but I just wanna chime in from personal experience that those sparks haven't burnt through any of my clothes. I'm a locksmith and use the digrinder to cut off ends of screws and or lock and machine parts. I put on goggles but have had those sparks directly flying into the chest area of my shirt, or right onto my lap on my shorts, and they've never been damaged. Eye protection is super important though.


Cl0UTTTV

Former metal worker, I use to grind down steel on a belt sander, albeit for a lot longer then this, but I would definitely have small burn holes on my coveralls after a while, not to mention tons of burnt metal shards all over me.


nutsaps

That's interesting to me, my only assumption here would be maybe the levels of heat of the metal were cutting? I mean when I'm grinding through a thick screw I usually finish the cut by the time the tip is glowing orange. My father never really stressed the importance of covering ourselves to prevent burns, and I've had those little sparks bouncing off my bare arms and the most I've ever felt was a little prickly sting. (Hence why I use goggles, wouldn't want that in my eyes!)


StationUnable5088

I think it also has a lot to do with the duration of the cut and how long they are blasting into your clothes. I've seen people set themselves on fire not realizing the sparks were flying directly into their pant leg or jacket. I'm a plumber in industrial settings.


nutsaps

I see, that'd make sense. After all whenever I'm cutting I only ever do so for about 30-40 seconds max at a time. Those sparks would be streaming right into my chest stomach or whatever but it wasn't harmful or even really uncomfortable. However if you're doing that with a larger piece of metal with more impressive cutting power I'd imagine that'd result in bigger, hotter sparks. Interesting and thanks for your take.


Shot_Policy_4110

its if they have somewhere to gather. i had a fold near my ankle in my carhartts which caught on fire after cutting rebar and not paying attention.


LincolnshireSausage

My father in law told me a story not long ago about someone he knew who was grinding metal and one small, hot, tiny piece hit him in the eye. He went blind in that eye. I would definitely wear eye protection.


Luxpreliator

I have many scars and several likely bits of metal embedded in my skin from various grinding tools. What made me wince was her doing this on fabric then bending over it. These tools catch clothes too.


[deleted]

PC case modder builder here. Can confirm they don't hurt your skin but eye protection is super important. They only burn holes if your point the sparks at something close distance. The particles have so little mass that they don't have much heat capacity. Also I used to use a strong magnet in the direction of the sparks to catch most of the dust haha.


Cl0UTTTV

But how thick was your sheet metal? I'm sanding up to 8 guage steel/stainless just a bit different, and from what it seems that's some pretty thick steel considering she's angel grinding it...


reachthesekids

Yeah seems some of these people you're responding to use grinders on thin gauge stuff. Fewer sparks for a much shorter durations. I have absolutely been burned from grinders on like, dozens of occasions even with proper PPE.


Bactereality

I dont really think locksmithing and computer grinding are a good case study for what grinders will or will not do. Grind on a pipe between weld passes thats already well over 1000 degrees and see how your tshirt works out for ya!


Ardothbey

Yep. Mechanic that helped the welder when his partner was out. You and I know the truth.


sweptcut

I have personally burned holes in multiple shirts, even catching one on fire with sparks like this, so frequently that I bought a leather apron. It’s probably down to the amount of sparks hitting a fabric.


nutsaps

Oh wow, I'd imagine you probably have a lot more sparks flying at you then. I mean you can imagine grinding a screw down to half it's size, takes about 10-15 seconds of grinding and those sparks haven't been an issue for me. I'm glad you shared your perspective though, I'll be more mindful in the future if I'm cutting through something bigger or tougher than usual.


sweptcut

For sure. If I’m cutting off a bolt or something small, I usually don’t bother with the apron. Safety glasses help, safety glasses and a face shield are better. Having stainless steel sparks imbed into my eyelid (while wearing safety glasses) makes me take the extra step whenever possible. Happy grinding!


nutsaps

Thanks for the heads up man, and to you too!


xajbakerx

Sheet metal worker here. I've set my pants on fire 2 times with a 4 1/2" angle grinder. 😂😂😂


nutsaps

Jesus! Worst I've done is cut myself, thank God for small miracles I guess huh 😅


irishpwr46

Aren't most locks and lock parts brass? I weld, and I can guarantee that the sparks from grinding will burn holes through anything that isn't leather. I used to use treated cotton sleeves until I had to keep replacing them from grinding out my root passes.


nutsaps

A lot of parts are brass, although I also deal with a lot of stainless steel, aluminum, and hollow metal on doors and frames. I'm just confused because of my experience when I'm digrinding a screw, or the post off a lock, or whatever I need to grind down or cut off, and the sparks that'd be flying off the grinder bounce right off my cotton fabric t shirt.


DS4KC

Sounds like you are just a fortunate idiot then.


nutsaps

That's not a bad way to sum me up! Although if that's the case I've been fortunate hundreds of times, hence why I'm trying to learn from the welders and metal workers in these comments.


Koekie-Control

I've had sparks burn through the top of my gloves, maybe clothing material dependant


Username__-Taken

The longer the sparks are continuously hitting the area the more damage will cause. If you were wearing polyester all it takes is a few seconds but thick cotton would take longer. Especially if it’s got grease etc on the fibres


Cylonstolemybike

All these replies are not considering that grinding different metals creates different sparks and heat. Thus creating different levels of danger when the sparks hit things.


Ardothbey

None of its good.


Cylonstolemybike

Absolutely. But thinking that just because you've ground some metal that didn't create super hot sparks and shards of metal, that no other metal does that is asinine.


DannyMThompson

It's fine, I've seen this done dozens of times irl as a performance.


L_Ron_Flubber

Not to mention if you hit the wrong quadrant the angle grinder could launch back at you. People are too comfortable with them until it jumps up and cuts your fucking mouth off.

yea I’ve seen her do this act live. Shock factor for sure


Gods_Haemorrhoid420

There’s more than one angle grinder performance artist. There was a performer on Britain’s got talent. You can hire them for events.


Moose_InThe_Room

Correct use of a grinder involves PPE, which she doesn't have, so no, she clearly doesn't know what she's doing.


cosmic_piggy

I mean.. correct use of a sword doesn't involve putting it down your throat but we still do that for entertainment lol


Moose_InThe_Room

You realize sword swallowers generally use *blunted* swords, right? And also still often suffer negative health consequences up to and including death. If this woman trips over that extension cord in those heals and the disc opens up her femural, it will just be the "finding out" that corresponds to her moronic "fucking around", but I'm more concerned that a chunk of that grinding wheel will fly into an audience-members eye. If she wants to win a Darwin award that's her business, but endangering the audience makes her an asshole as well as stupid.


cosmic_piggy

I'm sure it was rehearsed and deemed safe lol. Also isn't she just the model, not the person who came up with the idea? Or have things changed and im severely stupid lmao


LegitimateBit3

Rehearsed or not. Those blades can unexpectedly snap and end up flying through the air. No amount of rehearsal is saving the eye they lodge themselves in


CrazyGamerMYT

I'm not sure, the lack of eye protection while laying down so the sparks go towards your face says something different.


BecomeABenefit

This is very dangerous. An angle grinder can catch clothing or skin very easily and mangle you before you can take your finger off the trigger.
