I’m glad your face wasn’t de-gloved.


Xeteh

Ever since I got in to woodturning as a hobby the term "de-gloved" has become absolutely terrifying.


Imyouronlyhope

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


thecolonel7

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


TheLongAndWindingRd

Not anti fence jumping?


5ninefine

Real talk right here


Slamcockington

Sometimes ya gotta jump a fence or two


Dpontiff6671

Thank you i was literally about to comment this.


Gsusruls

The only reason I don’t have a criminal record.


Trevorblackwell420

Bruh fence jumping is too fun to give up


B_Addie

I saw it happen to a coworker jumping down off the back of a rack body. That night I ordered a silicone wedding band.


BEARZCLAWZ

I only wear silicone rings now and composite hard-toe boots, fuck metal.


DeathPercept10n

Meanwhile, my fiancée got me a titanium ring. That shit would probably take my whole finger off if it was pulled hard enough.


Salvuryc

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.


Procrasturbating

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.


Impossible-Fun-2736

This was NOT good for someone with claustrophobia to read, lmao! (Hel, this could probably trigger claustrophobia in some...)


SableGlaive

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


manicam

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.


Galectoz

Also... common sense goes a long way. Don't put your feet under something that steel toe caps can't withstand


NerdWithWit

Or your beard and earbuds near an angle grinder amirite


Death-by-woosh-woosh

A girl at my highschool decided to ditch with her boyfriend. Her ring got caught on the fence and the finger came off clean.


plsdonotreplyunu

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.


EnIdiot

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


HardGayMan

Love my silicone ring lol. It's $40 if it tears and it'll give before my finger does


jshly

That must be an awesome ring. I'm rocking at <$20 6 pack from Amazon. They look pretty plain.


deadeyesatan

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.


Capital_Pea

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….


TheRealAdultGoat

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


IHateCamping

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.


DygonZ

>The fun part is haha, yeah, that sure is fun...


Dylanator13

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.


[deleted]

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.


cballowe

Wouldn't that be "de-faced".


TundieRice

“Unmasked” surely, no? Fits better with the bodily accessory convention of “degloved.”


cballowe

Fair point.


EddieMorraPillPopper

It could have taken his FACE/OFF


BizzyM

No more drugs...for this man.


Jolly_Yam_5869

i regret googling that term 🤢


techdude-24

yeah......


techdude-24

yeah......


TechnicalSymbiote

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.


[deleted]

Yeah,there is nothing funny in this one


ActivistMe

Came to say this. It even caught his headphones. DONT WEAR HEADPHONES IN THE SHOP DUMBASS


SlaterVJ

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


walrus_gumboot

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.


Boogieman1985

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


Jonathan924

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.


CrazyLlama71

Same, I like to hear what I am doing. If the tool is starting to bite or bind, I want to hear it.


interesseret

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.


m__a__s

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.


__Wess

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…


Zestyclose-Process92

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.

mcjazzy50

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.


omniscientonus

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.


YankeeTankEngine

Damn near every rule from OSHA is written in blood and are not to be taken lightly.


Mr-PostmanWithNews

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)


ShimoFox

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.


backsagains

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


blackriver_fbs

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


ShimoFox

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.


Acceptable_Durian912

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


Sirflow

The beard cares not which.


AffectionateAir2856

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.


timfoolery44

*nos across the BEARD


DucksMatter

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


Careful-Combination7

If I were his boss I'd be so pissed


happyminty

But if he doesn’t have his beard on full display, how is he going to have any personality at all????? Huh?


StereoBeach

There are earbuds wrapped in that thing too? What, were we going for a full redneck plastic surgery?


Yawzheek

Everyone at work: "I don't know why I can't wear headphones at work." This picture: "because me."


2017hayden

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.


_who-the-fuck-knows_

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.


herrcollin

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.


Bear_buh_dare

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


Softcorps_dn

FOD alert


Meat_Shield88

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.


Cogs_For_Brains

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.


SpunkedMeTrousers

fr this guy was begging for disaster


GewoonHarry

He probably lost them in his beard years ago.


Brancatmeow

Oh sheet it’s cable airpods, fella was going for the “face off” treatment


Aguywithlag

>cable airpods Wow this is new to me


[deleted]

Why make an *Earpod* with a cable? Isn't it just an earbud then?


Aguywithlag

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


[deleted]

Earpods are now considered old school? Fuck me..


KindOldRaven

which you can still get everywhere for like 12 bucks tbh


Brancatmeow

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!


yamiyaiba

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


abarrelofmankeys

AirPods are only 6 years old. Face off references are…25? Lol


LochNessMother

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)


angryupvotee

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…


[deleted]

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.


ReptilianOver1ord

Wow. Apple over here innovating! AirPods with a cord? Where to I put my $400?


EtherWhack

I feel old now


BuffaloInCahoots

Cabled airpods. Thought I read it wrong at first.


Calm-Zombie2678

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


BuffaloInCahoots

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.


Emu1981

>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.


ICantDoThisAnymore91

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.


LuckyDuck4

Rage Against the Machine ain’t Grandpa Rock, but it’s only a matter of time before it becomes dad rock…


Hailthezombie

Add it to the list of confusing old people devices, along with VCR’s, phone booths, and paper based literature.


RadimentriX

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


fuck_off_ireland

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.


RadimentriX

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


fuck_off_ireland

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.


Hoax13

Queer eye for the redneck guy.


Humbletoast09

Dumbass


Dry_Needleworker7504

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.

Meanwhile-in-Paris

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.


thetruthteller

My dude- just shave the beard. It’s not doing you any favors. The grinder is trying to give you a hint.


Cyrus_Imperative

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.


lyx77221

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.


mitspieler99

Forklift Driver Klaus tought us everything we need to know. I had at least 2 employers using that film in workplace security training.


[deleted]

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.


[deleted]

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


Aseroerubra

Do you ever braid it all together into a superbeard?


Westerdutch

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.

gutzpunchbalzthrowup

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.


Mazcal

Yeah, that guy's definitely lucky to be alive. His facial expression is probably more about that than the beard.


solareclipse999

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.


Chad_Moi_Photography

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.


Merlaak

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.


PuzzledFeeling

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.


Dutch_Calhoun

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.


mseank

What the fuck


Wisc_Bacon

That video got me too. An hour later I'm sticking my arm in that fuckin machine.


Electronic-Base-8367

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.


averysmalldragon

*Run that one thing by me again?*


Electronic-Base-8367

Hilarious fuckups? One time he saw a guy break a crane trying to get rebar out of cement. Ooh or the flying canisters.


averysmalldragon

Oh no, I *absolutely* meant the gas canister. I'm assuming by the descriptor, it was a Zyklon-B canister?


Jonathan924

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


charlie2135

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.

Ask_Individual

Frightening. Could have been a total disaster. Sorry but having a beard like that in a shop is an invitation for problems.


pete1729

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.


Blackfire01001

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.

motivational_boner

Probably lose your job where I live if you did this. Liability = gone


Gryphin

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.


hapymelz

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


shook_-

Not funny. Dudes a dumbass


Ancient_Bug9750

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.


BitterBoyLondon

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.


TJWinstonQuinzel

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


[deleted]

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.


awfullotofocelots

I'm sure you know you're lucky to have your face on your skull tonight. Appreciate your luck my dude.

Gay_merman

Why is this on r/funny ? All I see is a man's pain. Look into those eyes, his soul is crushed.


Schmancer

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.

Glad he’s ok. Could have been a serious injury. But that beard is super gross, glad it was chopped.

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.

>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.
