Judging on your previous experience, it looks like you have about 20 years
or so before your out of finger nails to bite. You might be more careful.

Well, keep in mind the audience for that site varies widely, from the
most junior Marine rifleman to the saltiest Command Master Chief. Take
a look at the number of hard copy magazines the Safety Center puts out
for the various Navy communities to get some examples. It's also not
meant to cover just really dumb dangerous stuff that has happened but
in the spirit of Operational Risk Managment get shipmates to think
"what are the consequences" if even mundane stuff goes awry. It's all
about breaking a link in the mishap chain before the mishap occurs.
Spent several months at Naval PG school in Monterey learning all about
this and they rarely publish the truly gruesome stuff. I had a buddy
lose his left hand ejecting from an EA-6B when his Timex G shock got
caught on the centerline canopy bow. Degloved everything but the base
of his thumb and he's one that lived. Vince had a great atitude about
it afterward figuring the alternative was a deep smoking hole in the
ground in the Olympic mountains. The Navy made him specialized hands
for everything he wanted. As he was a triathelete he even had hands for
swimming and biking. That was over ten years ago so I'm sure he has
something even better now.

Is it a coincidence that just last night on King of the Hill reruns, that
Hank cut off a buddy's finger with a circular saw?

I took a look at that link, e-mailed it to work as a matter of fact, some
of the photos should be useful. But, they also seem to get a bit carried
away; for example, the baby spare on the back of the jeep leading into a
diatribe about how sorry the driver will be when he has a flat -- my bet is
the real spare is inside the jeep. As in, "it's a joke son, a joke I say".
Some of the other diatribes were a bit off the deep end -- the situations
while not necessarily according to Hoyle were not necessarily
life-threatening hazards either. Guess one needs to apply some common
sense filters. Another example -- the coke can screw holder -- want to bet
the person using the can that way *wasn't* reaching his fingers into the
can for the screws, but was shaking the screws into his hand from the can?

Actually, the highest you could count to would be 1023, as the first number you
count is 0. That is, unless you pre-date the Mayans. I know there are some
codgers here, but sheesh :o).
Shameless plug:
I've got a Flash tutorial on my site explaining how to count to 31 on one hand.
Same principle applies to 2 hands.

I would really appreciate it if you could either post a
picture of your mangled hands, or, send one to me. I have a little
hobby of posting gruesome images at a factory, to help remind
the guys on the floor that the toys we play with there are
pretty dangerous, and, require a fair amount of attention.
Actually, while I am on the subject, if anyone has a lead
on an image of a person wrapped in a metalworking lathe, I would
really appreciate a pointer to it.
And yes...I DO have the bandsaw suicide picture...but
thanks for thinking of it.

Haw! that is a great resource. I have grabbed a
few items from them in the past. I believe that is where I got
the picture of the guy welding the gasoline tank on his truck,
while it is propped up at about 45 degrees by a couple of
4x4s.

Yea, I am with you on that. It seems to me that the pictures
range from the AMAZINGLY dangerous (the stacked forklifts, the stacked
ladders, the truck propped up on 2x4 stock) to the mildly hazardous
(the various guys riding on the truck beds, and unsecured loads and
such) to, as noted above, the "its a joke moment"..
I did like the "surfaces may be hot" sign that was wrinkled
from the heat. I thought that was a EXCELLENT object lesson.
However, the author(s) all adopt the writing style that makes
ALL the pictures "the same" in terms of danger to life and limb. Haw,
considering some of the REALLY stupid things I have seen folks do,
perhaps they have a point...but in many cases it seems more like
"Chicken Little" screaming that the sky is falling...
still a great collection of pictures, and many useful ones in
there.

P.S.
This is a VERY observant comment! Got to remember that
simply because we got away with it THIS time does not mean that the
actions taken were "safe"...just that God smiled on us, and we were
preserved from our stupidity.

Man...we have a LOT of sick folks here...probably why I
enjoy reading the group!
While either would be appreciated (although I suspect that
UPS might not appreciate the latter all THAT much...reminds me of
the story of the Fed Ex girl that delivered a package to a
taxidermist, and, when she handed it over, thought she felt
a bit wet... She was shocked to look down and find that the front
of her shirt and pants were covered with blood.
The box, which WAS pretty heavy, causing her to clasp
it close, proved to contain the head and pelt of a fairly large
wolf. The person that sent it had frozen it, and packed in some
dry ice, but, had not sealed it up when he sent it).
Getting back to my point...I suspect that I will get
away with putting the PHOTO up on the wall...Putting the hand
up, while would be VERY educational for the guys, would, alas
probably not go over very well with management.

Maybe you should consider a new hobby while you still have enough
fingers to do one. I would suggest something that doesn't involve
sharp edges.

I guess! Lose one and I'd be giving it (what I was doing in the shop)

There are only 10 kind of people in this world, those who understand binary

Last season I caught an episode of "Life in the ER" featuring
micro-surgeons, the re-attachment docs. Retiree came in with half of
his two middle fingers in a sandwich bag. The surgeon studied the
x-rays, and asked how they were amputated.
The ER doc replied, "table saw".
After further review the surgeon asked, "So, what happened to this
one", pointing to a third digit.
The ER doc got this 'I-really-hoped-you-wouldn't-ask' look on his
face. In a tight voice he said, "Um, 1965 in a table saw."
After a beat they both burst out laughing.

The reference to binary is that 10 in binary is 2 in decimal - so only
2 fingers remaining is tragic.
