A couple of hours ago Simon Crafar posted the following from Almeria in Spain:

"Today a guy was spraying lube on his chain, engine running, in gear on paddock stand
Crunch
His mates found his finger in the belly pan."


Ouch!

ive done that so fucking much. And still have all my fingers.
Therefore i can d'deuce that he was a fucking moron and deserved it.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I've never done it because when I was at school all those years ago one of my friends did it. Yep, old Lefty. Wonder what he's doing now?

I would hazard a guess and say he wanks with his right hand?

There was a young dumbarse on here that did that in about '06, took photos from hospital and everything.

He's got enough of each finger left to clean his chain at least 3 more times with that hand before he has to change hands

They called him "Lefty" 'cause he was right handed? You're starting to worry me Akzle...

christ... I know accidents happen but isn't it common sense to not work with any mechanical thing spinning in a direction that would either cause it to chew your hand up or make shit fly into you...

Nice! Wasn't quite as bad as the de-gloving pic where someone lost their foot. I spray chain oil with bike in neutral, wipe it, walk bike , spray, wipe. Maybe not the real way but I actually like and need my fingers. Should actually wash my bike again.

So you do the job twice?

Topping up a Scott oiler sounds safer.

[roogazza]

When I was about 16 and an older cousin about twenty five,he had a mint MG TF. Thought he'd clean something on the engine with it running? TING ! nail and first joint gone on his saturday night finger!
Those old metal fan blades were deadly.lol.

Or Lathe?

Sent from my Nokia using Tapa talk.

When we were being trained on lathes we were always told to roll our sleeves up above the elbow so they didn't get caught. One of the Nigerian students knew he didn't need to follow the rules and left them down; went to adjust the soluble oil onto his spinning metal and got his arm wrapped around it! That'll learn him. Didn't realise a mans voice could go that high until then. Kept his arm but a bit mangled and lots of fractures.

Ask the guy from Kiwi Lumber in Dannevegas - they just removed his Hitachi grinder from his chest.

I read about that. I wonder how that managed to happen, I heard it "kicked back" or something. It's a pretty scary thought.

My guess is setup, grinders are pretty safe unless you get the disc binding in something. Fucking had to do a job with the 9inch to cut off a shop front support, hairy as fuck cos you can't know how much weight is still on it until you cut through.

...the rear spinny thing on a helicopter spreads a lot of blood and bits around the heli deck too...must avoid...

[haydes55]

At speedway, after a race, they lean the bike over, drop the clutch and whilst it's spinning spray lube on the primary chain and the rear chain. Never seen or heard of an injury resulting from it before. Was the guy trying to lube the chain using his fingers?

[strandedinnz]

I gave my boys a lesson on what would happen to their fingers if they messed about while lubing the chain on their (pedal) bikes .. I caught them with the bikes on their stands whizzing the wheel fast while hand pedalling and dripping the oil in the chain as it went round .. a quick lecture and demo of running a carrot between the chain and sprocket might get them to think twice, but they are still kids though so now I guess they'll experiment with what else can get chewed up by their bike chain (just so long as it's not fingers!)

Yep immediately thought of that too. Was his name Liam? Did he also drop his brand new Daytona 675 off a ute/trailer while trying to get it down at Taupo track?

Crafar is visiting a series of tracks in Spain, presumably to conduct rider training. So what makes you think he would report something that didn't happen?

[pritch]

I see that Crafar has wrapped up his effort in Almeria and has moved his MotoVudu school to Portimao for a day or two. Not a bad gig he's got.
