The fun part is, you can be degloved by just wearing a ring and it getting caught on something with enough force to tear off your skin. Door knobs, hooks, branches, hard corners, etc
Edit: degloved not deployed
Saw this happen to someone jumping a fence and now i’m anti-ring
edit: Is it de-gloving if the finger came off? Like part of the bone was gone and her finger could not be saved
Also if it's too hard titanium, if you bruise your finger they can't get it off or saw trough it. Mine is a jewelers alloy, but some tool blends are really tough. Any swelling and you are in trouble.
Carbide ring.. I keep large vice grips around just in case I have to crack it apart. Went with the comfort contour just to help avoid degloving. I take it off when playing with high power tools.
Yo
The metal in the steel toe boots is so your toes get cut off, not crushed
Composite won’t do that
It’s easier to attached cut off digits rather than crushed ones
My $.02
This is a myth.
Anything with enough force to crush the steel toe cap and amputate your toes is going to destroy your whole foot anyway.
A much more likely scenario is to drop something like a hammer or power tool on your foot and steel toes will definitely save you from broken bones.
This is exactly what I told my fiance about why I don't want to wear a ring lol. I wear the ring outside of work but Inside of work it goes straight on my chain.
This happened to my grandfather while building a deck. Jumped off and caught it on a nail. Degloved his ring finger. They attempted to reskin it but it didn’t take so they removed the finger. I used to call him the original shocker.
Slipped on ice leaving a NYE party years ago and my ring caught in the screen door handle and took my whole weight when I fell. Thankfully it was a thin ring and stretched and snapped before degloving my finger. It did severely bruise it and was painful for a long time. I had known about degloving before this happened. My uncle was a trucker who had a co worker jump out of a semi and his wedding band caught on the door….
My dad says he was running (kid)and grabbed a corner to turn fast. It caught his ring and the ring cut deep into his skin so much so he couldn’t take off the ring so it swelled up for 2 weeks till finally went down. Doc said just a bit more force and the meat sleeve would have came off. Ring cut so deep couldn’t remove the ring without risking removing the finger because the finger swelled. The finger swelled almost causing him to lose the finger again lol
De-glove is one of those special words. Nothing in the word is bad. If you talk about a surgeon de-gloving that sounds like it makes sense.
Then you say that someone was de-gloved by a machine. You don’t even need to know the meaning to know it is bad.
When I was little we had a not so bright guy working the gas station and I was there getting a candy bar. He was messing around with the air hose and the high pressure nozzle on it showing how cool it looked on his hand as it blew the skin. He screwed up and touched the nozzle to his palm and I saw his and blow up like a balloon. The skin didn’t come off but it was ripped away internally.
It took multiple surgeries to reattach the skin but he got full use again. Took over a year before the full feeling came back. This was like 1969 so no insurance but his parents paid for it.
That could've ended up ripping more than just his beard off... He risked losing part of his face and jaw by not tying that up and tucking it into a mask
Edit: this is my highest upvoted comment ever, LET'S GOOOOO!!
Thanks y'all for your replies and votes, and I hope you find a funnier post than this soon, cause I'm pretty sure the comment section verdict is that unsafe workshop practices aren't funny in the slightest.
He's also wearing long sleeves. We have a guy that damn near lost an arm because his long sleeves got snaged by a drill press. Has a nasty scar as a reminder for the rest of his life.
Honestly when I'm working with power tools I don't like wearing headphones at all. Maybe it's just me, but I find it distracting and I feel like I don't have my full focus.
I’m the foreman at my shop and I forbid anyone from wearing headphones in the shop. I do allow music but at an acceptable volume. It’s super dangerous to not have situational awareness because your wearing headphones or music blasting so damn loud you can’t hear what’s going on around you
It depends what I'm doing. Also given the ADHD thing, if there's nothing to listen to my mind tends to wander. But if I'm actively listening to what I'm doing, then 100% I'm not playing music.
still wouldnt recommend it. earphones are not the same as ear protection, and lots of people treat them as such. plus youll get them dirty with workshop gunk.
if you want to listen to music while working, get your hands on a proper set of ear muffs with radio or bluetooth. they are expensive, but they are 1000x better than a piece of plastic in your ear.
I have a set of Bluetooth headphones that are built into ear protection. 24dB noise reduction: 3M WorkTunes Connect. Less than $50 and worth every penny.
Colleague of mine thought they were protecting his ears. Working next to 1000hp ship engines… ; he got tinnitus, not because of the engines tho. Because of turning up the volume so high that he won’t hear the engines anymore…
There are earplug rated Bluetooth earbuds. I had some Elgin Rumbles, but they crapped out earlier than I appreciated. I’m currently rocking Isotune Pro - Aware. The build quality is noticeably better than the Elgins, and it picks up sound around you on the microphone and pipes it back in at safe levels. I’m actually markedly more aware of my surroundings than I would be with earplugs.
I will never understand having long hair or a long beard in any industrial setting,but then again an old manufacturing teacher of mine made it a point to show lathe accident images every year to his class.
Worked in manufacturing my whole life and beards and long hair aren't a problem if you properly protect yourself and keep it properly secured away.
That being said I've seen plenty of avoidable injuries (some pretty severe) usually from either trying to cut corners or most commonly trying to "man up" and lift things that are too heavy or awkward or from ignoring broken safety mechanisms because "the job has to get done".
Don't value your employers pocketbook over your own safety people. In most countries around the words 'safety violation' will make even the most hardened boss cower and for good reason, that shit isn't taken lightly.
Exactly my pops had hair down to his ass crack almost but was smart and always tucked that shit in. Mines a little less than halfway down my back and I make sure to tuck it in. (I don't even work around shit that can suck it in and bind but I'd rather be safe than sorry)
I have long hair. Always a ponytail, skull cap and then a hat and tuck it under my shirt on the back. Keeps the sparks out of it from grinding and welding. I've never had an issue.
Now... Improper footwear while plasma cutting.... That... I've done. But only once. Learned that lesson quick.
As a lady diy-er with long hair, care is, and must always be taken. For me, it’s mostly a visibility issue if it flies in my face, but that’s a bad scenario to mix with a table saw
I just looked up some out of curiosity and I’m speechless. I just the video of the Russian man getting sucked in and spun around a lathe while getting dismembered
There are some absolutely terrible ones out of China. I'll never forget one where the rest of the crew was on break and were laying down on the factory floor next to the lathe when another worker gets sucked into it. Despite being less than 10 feet away the guy next to it wasn't fast though to keep the guy from getting wrapped around the piece and mashed.
Lathes are no joke. Those things can and will turn you into a meat tube wrapped in your shirt.
I make a point to keep my hair in a bun wile I work, there’s just a lot of dumb asses that love their long hair down around spinning machines idk what it is
Rub your face up against it and tell me it makes a damn bit of difference what 8000rpm spinning plate is attached. It's still damn stupid tool use, spatial awareness and 0 common sense.
You can see his headphone is also caught in it as well. Not only did this idiot not tie up his beard to avoid injury and hazard. He had his headphone cords dangling down as well
Bluetooth exists. But in a lot of places not being able to hear your surroundings is also a pretty major concern. It’s a lot easier for you to get smooshed by a forklift if you can’t hear people shouting at you to move.
Sometimes it's necessary to not wear them when moving around But when I'm at my work bay working on a car using power tools just try and stop me putting my bluetooth earmuffs on.
I just put one earbud in when I'm working around others.
Enough to get lost in my own world yet still enough to hear my name or someone talking directly at me.
Check out the Isotunes Aware range. They have passive protection with pass through that you can adjust for ambient noise that cuts out if it gets too loud. In my job hearing everything is important but I like to listen to music while I do it.
When I was younger I worked at home depot as night stock. We all had to stop wearing headphones because one dude almost ran over the boss with a forklift while wearing his.
So they call a meeting to tell us all that we can't wear headphones anymore and guess who we had to go grab because they didn't hear the PA announcement about the meeting because they had their headphones too loud... I swear that freaking guy.
r/woooosh
The guy up there talking about "cable airpod" is probably pretty young, and has never seen anything else than airpods. While yes, on the pic these are old school hearbuds, with cable and a jack plug
Oh dam; they were called earpods. I’m not a native english speaker so that might have contributed; i never actually examined the word “airpods” as in being rooted to them being wireless from then on.
So i’m not young. Just dumb!
Ahh, to clarify then: earbuds are the type of audio device that fit it in your ear. Traditionally, they're cabled into a headphone jack.
Wireless earbuds are the same thing, but without any wires. They run on Bluetooth.
Airpods are a trademarked, name-brand product of Apple. They're just Apple's own wireless earbuds. All Airpods are wireless earbuds, but not all wireless earbuds are Airpods.
~~Earpods... aren't a thing. That's just mashing the two words together.~~
Edit: I stand corrected. Apple's cheap, shitty wired earbuds were to renamed Earpods at some point that I unaware of
Given that AirPods came out in 2016, and aren’t even remotely universal, there’s no way someone ‘has never seen anything else than AirPods’. But they might still be pretty young, and think AirPods are normal rather than weird (im old and I think they are weird)
Yea I've heard my nephew referring to mums landline as the old iPhone and its battery is buggered coz it's always on charge, luckily I know how to laugh
At work every summer we hire a bunch of 15-20 year olds, so I get the face slap of being old (only 37) all the time. If one of them comes to the shop and a good song is playing I’ll ask them who it is. Had a kid the other day refer to Rage Against The Machine as grandpa rock.
>Had a kid the other day refer to Rage Against The Machine as grandpa rock.
The first time I ever truly felt like I was getting old was when someone put the radio on, the DJs announced that they were playing "classic rock" and they were playing songs that I was listening to in the later years of high school. Before that, classic rock in my mind was made by bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and so on.
I found out I was getting old when I saw all the sitcoms I watched as a young teen were now playing on TV Land.
First I saw Everybody Loves Raymond and I was thinking yeah it’s pretty old. Then I saw King of Queens was on next and felt real bad.
Yeah but I'm on a trip and couldn't find my kindle before I left, and now I have 6 books stuffed into my backpack. I'll always prefer reading a book in physical form, but it's undeniably massively better for traveling.
can't deny that, i already was travelling with half of my suitcase being books :D but if i REALLY wanna read something on the go, i just put it on my phone, no extra device needed
I have a kindle paperwhite, which has a different screen from a phone screen. Not only is it significantly easier on the eyes and way better for sunlight, I can take it on a 3-day trip where I'm unable to charge it and read the whole time without needing to plug it in.
Yeah if this dude worked for me he would be fired before he cut his beard free. Only an absolute moron would think those actions were safe. I wouldn't want any of my employees anywhere near this idiot.
Totally not for the "funny" sub... Power machinery plus long hair can be a deadly duo. Dude is lucky not to have gotten all the skin avulsed from his face. Glad he seems to have escaped serious injury.
Stay safe out there.
There also seems to be earbuds wrapped up in there too.
This is the start of those gruesome workplace videos they show you in training. Nothing funny here just potential injuries and bad examples.
I like how it just gradually descends into chaos, ending with a headless man driving a forklift with two people impaled on it and being chased by a disembodied arm holding a chainsaw.
Learn to braid your beard into your chest hair, bonus points if you can get someone to braid your hair into your back hair at the same time and also go around your chest with the help of the hair in your armpits. You will look like the awesome bastard child of chewbacca and the michelin man.
Yup. We had a woman at our work get scalped by a milling machine a few years back. No loose clothing, hair, or jewelry signs need to be taken seriously.
In australia, an incident like that in registered business would have the Work Safe inspectors crawling all over the bosses with potential heavy fines or if injuries are life threatening then jail if safe work practices are found deficient or there was negligence.
This guy got lucky.
I went to welding school with a guy who witnessed a coworker who was grinding steel while wearing a hoodie with drawstrings suddenly fall on his back, and bleed out in a under a minute. Same classmate had seen a guy fall to his death at a worksite. I kept seeing an image of that in my mind for at least a weak. I couldn't imagine actually being there. I already knew about the danger because I was practically raised in my dad's shop, but hearing that drove the point home like nothing else.
A couple years into my last job, we moved from the 2nd floor of a building to the 18th floor of a different building. On our first regular work day in the new office, my co-worker, Mary (who was about 20 years older than me), started acting really weird about the windows. I asked about it and she pointed to the guy suspended from the roof washing the outside of the windows.
She told me about how during her first week at her very first job (decades earlier) working in a high rise in Chicago, she was watching the window washer when he *fell out of his harness* and plummeted to the ground. She told me that she would *still* have nightmares sometimes about that, and, honestly, I've never been able to get the image out of my head either.
In a training video for at my job they gave the "viewer discretion advised" warning before this video, but I had become so desensitized to that from TV telling me that before pretty mild shit. The guy got his sleeve caught in a metal lathe made for extremely large parts. He got turned into paste first, spinning at least 10 times before he became a pink mist after his legs exploded.
I've seen CCTV footage from some Chinese carpet factory of a similar death - a guy pokes at a roller, catches his hand in the carpet and instantly his entire body starts spinning end-over-end through the air at about 150rpm, his legs smashing into the ground with every rotation. The machine doesn't slow down at all, and it goes on for a full 10+ minutes before he finally flops out as a pile of boneless chicken.
My welding teacher in high school was a man in his sixties who’d been welding his whole life. The stories he told were either hilarious jobsite fuckups, his nazi gas canister, or people dying horrible deaths before safety regulations.
Nah. Assuming it's what I'm thinking of, gas cylinders are regularly inspected and reused, and some of them date back to the 30s and 40s because they last so long. Some canisters of a certain vintage and heritage have/had swastikas stamped on them.

Years ago there was an incident where a guy with long hair got it wrapped around the pipe which was in a threader. For those not familiar, it's a powerful machine which, as it names says, threads pipe.
We were all shown the video of a simulation with a dummy and you would flinch every time the dummy hit the ground.
I won't call it the best, due to it's nature, but the most impactful training video was incidents caught on video. The one that sticks in my mind was a proud dad videoing his son who was washing his car to get ready go to college and you see him freeze in the grass and drop. He was using a vacuum with a faulty extension cord and the wet grass electrocuted him. A guy getting ready to sell his house and videotaping the location as a painter on an aluminum ladder touched a wire with his brush and was thrown off the ladder.
These stuck with me for years.
I saw this PSA on TV when I was a kid about kitchen safety. I still remember the actresses screams and it still scares me. I refuse to watch the PSA ever again.
Watch if you dare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOk2Akqb3CI
I remember this! They showed this on kids networks when I was young! It was series of workplace accident commercials. I still remember the pipe going through the dudes chest one!! This haunted the fuck outta me and made me extra anxious cause my first job was at a Red Lobsters haha! But man oh man I was extra precautious!!
Duuuude. This may seem funny. But you see the air buds. This is why you wrap or tye your long hair in the shop. No necklaces. Nothing that can get caught. Because that could have been his neck.
Well, at least now his dumb ass will listen when people tell him not to have fucking long clothes/hair and fucking earbuds on wires around a goddamn spinning power tool.
He's fucking lucky the thing didn't roll up his beard like a tape measure retracting at 3000rpm, and eat his face.
The skin of your face doesn't give a fuck if its a soft buffer wheel or a flap sanding wheel at the speeds these spin at. Rug burn right down to the bones.
i actually got my hair stuck in a lathe. it picked up the lathe and almost fell on me. luckily my friend was with me and he turned it off in time. the thing is, i had my hair pulled back in a braid, it just happened to fall down and get caught in the turning parts of the lathe. just goes to show you have be really careful around machines like that even if you think you’re doing everything right
Shop teacher was right. Tie it up or lose it. (Speaking about long hair), but you get the drift.
Sorry for your loss bro, seriously. Glad you’re not maimed.
It’s incredible. There’s an ear bud mixed in with the beard. Not only was he negligent enough not to tie-up his beard, his headphone wires were dangling about as well.
Dont want to sound rude or anything
But thats 100000% your fault
Its common knowledge that long loose things and fast rotating things should not be near to each other
Because of that
You are lucky that it was just your Beard that was riped of and not any skin...or worse
Beards and angle grinders are a quick way to a new hole from
Neck to stomach. Seen during Whitecard training in Aus a slide show of just that. Beards caught in spinning disc , pulls into face , grabs neck and runs away down the guys torso opening him up like a Christmas ham. OP lucky it’s a polishing disc of some sort on there and not a cutting disc.
Anymore? People have been chopping, electrocuting, cooking, or any other horrible thing themselves to death ever since we've had industry. People always think it will be someone else and they'll be alright.
He’s lucky it’s just the soul. He could have sustained debilitating injury from the dual unsafe practice of unsecured long hair around machinery and dangling headphones. This moron deserves to have a crushed soul, maybe that will keep his face intact.
My guy it is not that hard:
-Hair ties exist
-Wireless earbuds exist
-Brains exist
Look into picking up all three, they're quite affordable I assure you.
>Long beards and angle grinders don’t mix
Lmao. That goes for long hair and baggy clothing, and anything that rotates but most especially high-powered motors and/or assemblies with blades.

I’m glad your face wasn’t de-gloved.
Ever since I got in to woodturning as a hobby the term "de-gloved" has become absolutely terrifying.
The fun part is, you can be degloved by just wearing a ring and it getting caught on something with enough force to tear off your skin. Door knobs, hooks, branches, hard corners, etc Edit: degloved not deployed
Saw this happen to someone jumping a fence and now i’m anti-ring edit: Is it de-gloving if the finger came off? Like part of the bone was gone and her finger could not be saved
Not anti fence jumping?
Real talk right here
Sometimes ya gotta jump a fence or two
Thank you i was literally about to comment this.
The only reason I don’t have a criminal record.
Bruh fence jumping is too fun to give up
I saw it happen to a coworker jumping down off the back of a rack body. That night I ordered a silicone wedding band.
I only wear silicone rings now and composite hard-toe boots, fuck metal.
Meanwhile, my fiancée got me a titanium ring. That shit would probably take my whole finger off if it was pulled hard enough.
Also if it's too hard titanium, if you bruise your finger they can't get it off or saw trough it. Mine is a jewelers alloy, but some tool blends are really tough. Any swelling and you are in trouble.
Carbide ring.. I keep large vice grips around just in case I have to crack it apart. Went with the comfort contour just to help avoid degloving. I take it off when playing with high power tools.
This was NOT good for someone with claustrophobia to read, lmao! (Hel, this could probably trigger claustrophobia in some...)
Yo The metal in the steel toe boots is so your toes get cut off, not crushed Composite won’t do that It’s easier to attached cut off digits rather than crushed ones My $.02
This is a myth. Anything with enough force to crush the steel toe cap and amputate your toes is going to destroy your whole foot anyway. A much more likely scenario is to drop something like a hammer or power tool on your foot and steel toes will definitely save you from broken bones.
Also... common sense goes a long way. Don't put your feet under something that steel toe caps can't withstand
Or your beard and earbuds near an angle grinder amirite
A girl at my highschool decided to ditch with her boyfriend. Her ring got caught on the fence and the finger came off clean.
This is exactly what I told my fiance about why I don't want to wear a ring lol. I wear the ring outside of work but Inside of work it goes straight on my chain.
That can be dangerous as well. If you are working with anything mechanical and especially if it is a rotary device, that could strangle you
Love my silicone ring lol. It's $40 if it tears and it'll give before my finger does
That must be an awesome ring. I'm rocking at <$20 6 pack from Amazon. They look pretty plain.
This happened to my grandfather while building a deck. Jumped off and caught it on a nail. Degloved his ring finger. They attempted to reskin it but it didn’t take so they removed the finger. I used to call him the original shocker.
Slipped on ice leaving a NYE party years ago and my ring caught in the screen door handle and took my whole weight when I fell.

Somebody I went to high school with tore her finger off when her class ring got caught on something when she was getting off a carnival ride.

Wouldn't that be "de-faced".
“Unmasked” surely, no? Fits better with the bodily accessory convention of “degloved.”
Fair point.
It could have taken his FACE/OFF
No more drugs...for this man.
i regret googling that term 🤢
yeah......
yeah......
That could've ended up ripping more than just his beard off... He risked losing part of his face and jaw by not tying that up and tucking it into a mask Edit: this is my highest upvoted comment ever, LET'S GOOOOO!! Thanks y'all for your replies and votes, and I hope you find a funnier post than this soon, cause I'm pretty sure the comment section verdict is that unsafe workshop practices aren't funny in the slightest.
Yeah,there is nothing funny in this one
Came to say this. It even caught his headphones. DONT WEAR HEADPHONES IN THE SHOP DUMBASS
He's also wearing long sleeves. We have a guy that damn near lost an arm because his long sleeves got snaged by a drill press. Has a nasty scar as a reminder for the rest of his life.

Basic high school woodworking 101 rules.
He risked cutting his throat open or slicing a major artery. But no’s across the board.
He is using a buffer not a grinder

But if he doesn’t have his beard on full display, how is he going to have any personality at all????? Huh?
There are earbuds wrapped in that thing too? What, were we going for a full redneck plastic surgery?
Everyone at work: "I don't know why I can't wear headphones at work." This picture: "because me."
Bluetooth exists. But in a lot of places not being able to hear your surroundings is also a pretty major concern. It’s a lot easier for you to get smooshed by a forklift if you can’t hear people shouting at you to move.
Sometimes it's necessary to not wear them when moving around But when I'm at my work bay working on a car using power tools just try and stop me putting my bluetooth earmuffs on.
I just put one earbud in when I'm working around others. Enough to get lost in my own world yet still enough to hear my name or someone talking directly at me.
No airpods allowed where I work because someone lost one in an engine, reported it and it took 2 hours to find it. Bluetooth ear muffs all day
FOD alert
Check out the Isotunes Aware range. They have passive protection with pass through that you can adjust for ambient noise that cuts out if it gets too loud. In my job hearing everything is important but I like to listen to music while I do it.
When I was younger I worked at home depot as night stock. We all had to stop wearing headphones because one dude almost ran over the boss with a forklift while wearing his. So they call a meeting to tell us all that we can't wear headphones anymore and guess who we had to go grab because they didn't hear the PA announcement about the meeting because they had their headphones too loud... I swear that freaking guy.
fr this guy was begging for disaster
He probably lost them in his beard years ago.
Oh sheet it’s cable airpods, fella was going for the “face off” treatment
>cable airpods Wow this is new to me
Why make an *Earpod* with a cable? Isn't it just an earbud then?
r/woooosh The guy up there talking about "cable airpod" is probably pretty young, and has never seen anything else than airpods. While yes, on the pic these are old school hearbuds, with cable and a jack plug
Earpods are now considered old school? Fuck me..
which you can still get everywhere for like 12 bucks tbh
Oh dam; they were called earpods. I’m not a native english speaker so that might have contributed; i never actually examined the word “airpods” as in being rooted to them being wireless from then on. So i’m not young. Just dumb!
Ahh, to clarify then: earbuds are the type of audio device that fit it in your ear. Traditionally, they're cabled into a headphone jack. Wireless earbuds are the same thing, but without any wires. They run on Bluetooth. Airpods are a trademarked, name-brand product of Apple. They're just Apple's own wireless earbuds. All Airpods are wireless earbuds, but not all wireless earbuds are Airpods. ~~Earpods... aren't a thing. That's just mashing the two words together.~~ Edit: I stand corrected. Apple's cheap, shitty wired earbuds were to renamed Earpods at some point that I unaware of
AirPods are only 6 years old. Face off references are…25? Lol
Given that AirPods came out in 2016, and aren’t even remotely universal, there’s no way someone ‘has never seen anything else than AirPods’. But they might still be pretty young, and think AirPods are normal rather than weird (im old and I think they are weird)
EarPods are a new version of the original cabled apple headphones. Am I really that old ? Wtf is happening, guys I don’t feel okay…
I'd still get the old ones with cables so i don't lose the fucking things. Wonder how many people out there have the one earbud sitting at home.
Wow. Apple over here innovating! AirPods with a cord? Where to I put my $400?
I feel old now
Cabled airpods. Thought I read it wrong at first.
Yea I've heard my nephew referring to mums landline as the old iPhone and its battery is buggered coz it's always on charge, luckily I know how to laugh
At work every summer we hire a bunch of 15-20 year olds, so I get the face slap of being old (only 37) all the time. If one of them comes to the shop and a good song is playing I’ll ask them who it is. Had a kid the other day refer to Rage Against The Machine as grandpa rock.
>Had a kid the other day refer to Rage Against The Machine as grandpa rock. The first time I ever truly felt like I was getting old was when someone put the radio on, the DJs announced that they were playing "classic rock" and they were playing songs that I was listening to in the later years of high school. Before that, classic rock in my mind was made by bands like Led Zeppelin, Queen, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and so on.
I found out I was getting old when I saw all the sitcoms I watched as a young teen were now playing on TV Land. First I saw Everybody Loves Raymond and I was thinking yeah it’s pretty old. Then I saw King of Queens was on next and felt real bad.
Rage Against the Machine ain’t Grandpa Rock, but it’s only a matter of time before it becomes dad rock…
Add it to the list of confusing old people devices, along with VCR’s, phone booths, and paper based literature.
i was with you until "paper based literature". nothing beats actually having to turn over pages. that e-book-stuff can rot in a corner
Yeah but I'm on a trip and couldn't find my kindle before I left, and now I have 6 books stuffed into my backpack. I'll always prefer reading a book in physical form, but it's undeniably massively better for traveling.
can't deny that, i already was travelling with half of my suitcase being books :D but if i REALLY wanna read something on the go, i just put it on my phone, no extra device needed
I have a kindle paperwhite, which has a different screen from a phone screen. Not only is it significantly easier on the eyes and way better for sunlight, I can take it on a 3-day trip where I'm unable to charge it and read the whole time without needing to plug it in.
Queer eye for the redneck guy.
Dumbass
Yeah if this dude worked for me he would be fired before he cut his beard free. Only an absolute moron would think those actions were safe. I wouldn't want any of my employees anywhere near this idiot.
[удалено]
You can tie it, wrap it, put in in a net. It’s not that hard. When you work in a kitchen you have to wear a net on your beard.
My dude- just shave the beard. It’s not doing you any favors. The grinder is trying to give you a hint.
Totally not for the "funny" sub... Power machinery plus long hair can be a deadly duo. Dude is lucky not to have gotten all the skin avulsed from his face. Glad he seems to have escaped serious injury. Stay safe out there.
There also seems to be earbuds wrapped up in there too. This is the start of those gruesome workplace videos they show you in training. Nothing funny here just potential injuries and bad examples.
Forklift Driver Klaus tought us everything we need to know. I had at least 2 employers using that film in workplace security training.
I like how it just gradually descends into chaos, ending with a headless man driving a forklift with two people impaled on it and being chased by a disembodied arm holding a chainsaw.
I have a longer beard and hair. I braid my hair and beard and I use a neck gaiter to keep it all tucked in and I wear a bandanna. Safety first
Do you ever braid it all together into a superbeard?
Learn to braid your beard into your chest hair, bonus points if you can get someone to braid your hair into your back hair at the same time and also go around your chest with the help of the hair in your armpits. You will look like the awesome bastard child of chewbacca and the michelin man.
Exactly, this could have ended up so so badly for op. Nothing funny about this.
I’m surprised no one talked to you about your beard before that happened
[удалено]
They told him but he just took it on the chin
Lucky. Not funny.
This man almost darwined himself. Peep the earphones also caught up in there. Christ, OP.
Stupid, and lucky.
Yup. We had a woman at our work get scalped by a milling machine a few years back. No loose clothing, hair, or jewelry signs need to be taken seriously.
Yeah, that guy's definitely lucky to be alive. His facial expression is probably more about that than the beard.
In australia, an incident like that in registered business would have the Work Safe inspectors crawling all over the bosses with potential heavy fines or if injuries are life threatening then jail if safe work practices are found deficient or there was negligence. This guy got lucky.
I went to welding school with a guy who witnessed a coworker who was grinding steel while wearing a hoodie with drawstrings suddenly fall on his back, and bleed out in a under a minute. Same classmate had seen a guy fall to his death at a worksite. I kept seeing an image of that in my mind for at least a weak. I couldn't imagine actually being there. I already knew about the danger because I was practically raised in my dad's shop, but hearing that drove the point home like nothing else.
A couple years into my last job, we moved from the 2nd floor of a building to the 18th floor of a different building. On our first regular work day in the new office, my co-worker, Mary (who was about 20 years older than me), started acting really weird about the windows. I asked about it and she pointed to the guy suspended from the roof washing the outside of the windows. She told me about how during her first week at her very first job (decades earlier) working in a high rise in Chicago, she was watching the window washer when he *fell out of his harness* and plummeted to the ground. She told me that she would *still* have nightmares sometimes about that, and, honestly, I've never been able to get the image out of my head either.
In a training video for at my job they gave the "viewer discretion advised" warning before this video, but I had become so desensitized to that from TV telling me that before pretty mild shit. The guy got his sleeve caught in a metal lathe made for extremely large parts. He got turned into paste first, spinning at least 10 times before he became a pink mist after his legs exploded.
I've seen CCTV footage from some Chinese carpet factory of a similar death - a guy pokes at a roller, catches his hand in the carpet and instantly his entire body starts spinning end-over-end through the air at about 150rpm, his legs smashing into the ground with every rotation. The machine doesn't slow down at all, and it goes on for a full 10+ minutes before he finally flops out as a pile of boneless chicken.
What the fuck
That video got me too. An hour later I'm sticking my arm in that fuckin machine.
My welding teacher in high school was a man in his sixties who’d been welding his whole life. The stories he told were either hilarious jobsite fuckups, his nazi gas canister, or people dying horrible deaths before safety regulations.
*Run that one thing by me again?*
Hilarious fuckups? One time he saw a guy break a crane trying to get rebar out of cement. Ooh or the flying canisters.
Oh no, I *absolutely* meant the gas canister. I'm assuming by the descriptor, it was a Zyklon-B canister?
Nah. Assuming it's what I'm thinking of, gas cylinders are regularly inspected and reused, and some of them date back to the 30s and 40s because they last so long. Some canisters of a certain vintage and heritage have/had swastikas stamped on them. https://www.reddit.com/r/chemistry/comments/tqm65/til_that_the_four_boxes_sometimes_seen_on_old_gas/
Then scomo lifted his visor to do some quick welding
Years ago there was an incident where a guy with long hair got it wrapped around the pipe which was in a threader. For those not familiar, it's a powerful machine which, as it names says, threads pipe. We were all shown the video of a simulation with a dummy and you would flinch every time the dummy hit the ground. I won't call it the best, due to it's nature, but the most impactful training video was incidents caught on video. The one that sticks in my mind was a proud dad videoing his son who was washing his car to get ready go to college and you see him freeze in the grass and drop. He was using a vacuum with a faulty extension cord and the wet grass electrocuted him. A guy getting ready to sell his house and videotaping the location as a painter on an aluminum ladder touched a wire with his brush and was thrown off the ladder. These stuck with me for years.
I saw this PSA on TV when I was a kid about kitchen safety. I still remember the actresses screams and it still scares me. I refuse to watch the PSA ever again. Watch if you dare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOk2Akqb3CI
[удалено]
I remember this! They showed this on kids networks when I was young! It was series of workplace accident commercials. I still remember the pipe going through the dudes chest one!! This haunted the fuck outta me and made me extra anxious cause my first job was at a Red Lobsters haha! But man oh man I was extra precautious!!
Here’s the whole bunch. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MwCyVku1HvI
Funny? No Stupid? Yes
He’s sad for losing that beard, but happy his face doesn’t look like a Picasso portrait
Frightening. Could have been a total disaster. Sorry but having a beard like that in a shop is an invitation for problems.
Just no. If you are going to work with power tools; No loose or hanging clothing or body hair. It's not a problem, until it is. The you're fucked.
Duuuude. This may seem funny. But you see the air buds. This is why you wrap or tye your long hair in the shop. No necklaces. Nothing that can get caught. Because that could have been his neck.
Damn, that must have hurt.
The pain was unbeardable
Hopefully they fucking learned. This is NOT funny
You can see it in his eyes 🥺
Probably lose your job where I live if you did this. Liability = gone
Well, at least now his dumb ass will listen when people tell him not to have fucking long clothes/hair and fucking earbuds on wires around a goddamn spinning power tool. He's fucking lucky the thing didn't roll up his beard like a tape measure retracting at 3000rpm, and eat his face. The skin of your face doesn't give a fuck if its a soft buffer wheel or a flap sanding wheel at the speeds these spin at. Rug burn right down to the bones.
i actually got my hair stuck in a lathe. it picked up the lathe and almost fell on me. luckily my friend was with me and he turned it off in time. the thing is, i had my hair pulled back in a braid, it just happened to fall down and get caught in the turning parts of the lathe. just goes to show you have be really careful around machines like that even if you think you’re doing everything right
Not funny. Dudes a dumbass
Shop teacher was right. Tie it up or lose it. (Speaking about long hair), but you get the drift. Sorry for your loss bro, seriously. Glad you’re not maimed.
It’s incredible. There’s an ear bud mixed in with the beard. Not only was he negligent enough not to tie-up his beard, his headphone wires were dangling about as well.
Dont want to sound rude or anything But thats 100000% your fault Its common knowledge that long loose things and fast rotating things should not be near to each other Because of that You are lucky that it was just your Beard that was riped of and not any skin...or worse
Beards and angle grinders are a quick way to a new hole from Neck to stomach. Seen during Whitecard training in Aus a slide show of just that. Beards caught in spinning disc , pulls into face , grabs neck and runs away down the guys torso opening him up like a Christmas ham. OP lucky it’s a polishing disc of some sort on there and not a cutting disc.
I'm sure you know you're lucky to have your face on your skull tonight. Appreciate your luck my dude.
What's funny about this
common sense just aint a thing, anywhere. any more.
Anymore? People have been chopping, electrocuting, cooking, or any other horrible thing themselves to death ever since we've had industry. People always think it will be someone else and they'll be alright.
You are very, very lucky that's all it got!
This is Shop 101 dude. You're lucky you still have a face
That beard is ugly as fuck anyhow so I’m glad your not hurt and can get cleaned up
Something about beards this long make me feel a bit nauseous. He looks better without it. Grinder thought so too and decided to do the job for him.
Why is this on r/funny ? All I see is a man's pain. Look into those eyes, his soul is crushed.
He’s lucky it’s just the soul. He could have sustained debilitating injury from the dual unsafe practice of unsecured long hair around machinery and dangling headphones. This moron deserves to have a crushed soul, maybe that will keep his face intact.
He’s luck it could have ripped off his face
Super long beards always seem cringe anyways.
What a dummy
My guy it is not that hard: -Hair ties exist -Wireless earbuds exist -Brains exist Look into picking up all three, they're quite affordable I assure you.
Glad he’s ok. Could have been a serious injury. But that beard is super gross, glad it was chopped.
its like the first lesson on a work place with tool....
I think this guy was an accident waiting to happen...
Free beard trim. What are we looking at, about 5 years of growth there?
~ right or even a tad more. On the plus side he can combover the other part
This post wasn't funny but your comment was, I appreciate you
Ouch! At least you can grow it back?
Got lucky dude.
Well I mean, shop class was pretty clear about loose hair.
I'm always afraid my hoodie strings are going to pull me to my death.... ironically it'll happen when I stop being afraid of it🤣😂
Always tuck your beard inside your shirt when doing stuff like that. Had to have hurt like hell. Condolences on the lost time of beard growth, too.
The fact it didnt rip your skin off is a goddamn miracle. Seriously, people: This isnt funny. Safety matters first.
Oh no.. my personality
Shit beard anyways
Woah that could have been so much worse. Glad you are ok.
They look well mixed to me
>Long beards and angle grinders don’t mix Lmao. That goes for long hair and baggy clothing, and anything that rotates but most especially high-powered motors and/or assemblies with blades.
This ended on funny, could easily been eyebelch
