boonman Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 SOunds like a hardhat area!!! I had a day at work like that once. It was 1/2 hour from the end of the day, and I was working at one of the vertical Bridgeport mills. I wasn't paying particular attention, and I was screwing a jack up to the piece. Well, the machine was still on, and the 3/4" 4-flute end mill was still in there turning about 1200 RPM. It was backed off the piece about .080". My index and middle finger "bumped" into the endmill, and it sucked the both of them inbetween the part and the end mill and spit them out the other side. so, I high tailed it over to the sink, Screaming obscenities I had just invented all along the way. Ambulance ride, and 5.5 hours of surgery later, and my fingers are reattached. So, now you know why I have so many typos in my posts. Kind of tough when your fingers don't work too good......

DUNEDEMON Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Good grief Matt! I think it's time for a vacation. Or a desk job. Glad to haer that you are ok. I suggest pouring some of that Guiness on the wound to fight infection, and I want to see a picture of the wound in about a week, gonna' be hard to cut the hair around that thing, hell it might end up looking like you had a sex change operation - and they put the new "part" on your mellon!

rebelbanshee2 Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Ok so here's how my past 2 days have gone... Yesterday at work I opened up a drain on the bottom of an oil reservoir to drain off any water accumulation. While the water was running out I walked away to do a few other things. Sure 'nuff, I forgot all about the damn thing and all the oil drained out onto the ground...about 40 gallons worth. So I spent all of yesterday cleaning that one up. Then there was today... you should consult this thread about cleaning the oil up and disposing, i think the baby seal will work good in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyRo_ZaCh Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 . Luckily it barely tagged me and I escaped with only a 9-staple gash in the back of my head...and a stack of paperwork. oooo you got staples too, i felt like a freak after my 7, heres my story if any one cares, i was like 13 at summer camp having a rocket launch thing, one got stuck in a tree and people were throwing sticks and stuff at it, and some one there sharp as a marbel decides to throw a log like stick a it as i'm walking away, *thud* wasent that bad, then i felt it, my hand was covered in blood, so my dad happend to be there, (talkin to some one) so i run up to him, "DAD DAD" "yea hold on i'll look at you rocket in a min*not looking at me*" guy talking to him just says "uhhhhhhhhh?" and points "oh ok, guess this is important". got bandaged up and was told nothing major, but was told to go to the hospital, where i was told i needed 7 spaples to close the cut. Them staples are a joke right!?!?!? no, seeing quite a few people had them, something with (I asked while i was getting them put it) something, with the skin stretched tighter on your head so stitches wouldent be easy or work well.

banshee370 Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 staples are no joke... I had 13 in my forehead once.... except my accident was a little more than I would care to go through again. Short story.... I rolled a 3/4 ton ford van during hurricane Floyd we had here back in 99' (thanks to a deer) I wasnt wearing my seatbelt and ended up getting tossed around inside the van before it sent me through the windshield and then I was dragged down the highway for several hundred feet with a van on my chest and the pavement on my back! Lets just say it was an interesting ride! This pic was taken after I got home from the hospital. (only there for the staples and X-rays) excuse my balding head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
