    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.

    Topping up a Scott oiler sounds safer.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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!)
