I'll never forget the time about forty years aga when a safety guy from our worker's
compensation insurer visited our shop. He had a pack of hot dogs with him and started
sticking them in moving machinery where fingers shouldn't go.

A friend and I do a fair bit of plasma cutting. Curious as to what the
one-day inevitable accident will look like, we stuck some spare
barbecue sausages into an old welding glove and went at it with the
plasma. An interesting experiment !

leave your hand underneath the nozzle)

about 6 months ago there was a show on tv that showed a new circular saw
that was being sold that the operator held a hot dog by the blade.. when
the blade hit the hot dog it quit and the electric brake went on and the
hot dog just had a little nick in it... unlike a finger that might have
been cut off with an older saw(one without this new brake)..... i never
did see them hit the market.. like the $35 plastic circular saws of now
would have to cost about $140 or more... $35 for the saw and $110 for
the new brake??????
