About 30 minutes, I was cutting some wood when my hair got sucked into the saw’s motor, pulling my face into the piece and giving me a bloody nose. I couldn’t pull the saw out like then, so I carried the entire piece to my tool rack to cut the hair off with scissors.

Tie your hair up people.

    Manufacturing facilities often require people with long hair to wear it up to avoid it getting caught in the machinery (especially if there is an assembly line that doesn’t stop). We also sometimes require piercings to be taped down for the same reason. Glad youre mostly OK though.

      I read the title and my mind immediately flashed to a video of a guy who got their coat caught in a lathe and then proceeded to be wrapped around it like a spool of wire.

        I read the title and thought “okey, how bad can it be?” and then I saw the image and thought “okey, probably very bad”. Good thing it was only a bloody nose and a bad hair day.
