What have been the worst (serious or humorous) handyman or handywoman
accidents that you've experienced so far (or someone you know, or saw
it happen to, got to experience) and please elaborate on what
unfortunately went wrong.


I have heard this one from a man who saw this happen in his yard in the
60´s.

A man had a homemade circle saw, (diam about 1,5 meters) with a
hydraulic table to move the log back and forth. He and his son run a
service to cut the timber of the customer so the machine was movable.

The father was operating the machine and the son was at the other end
piling up the ready cut timber.

The hydraulic table got stuck because of a piece of wood. The father
leaned over the table to remove the jammed piece. His hand touched the
lever switch that operated the table move. He fell over the sawtable,
was driven to the blade and was cut in two pieces. The bodypieces of
the father fell in front of the son who was shocked. An ampulance came
to pick up the son. The crew of the ambulance were also shocked and were
unable to do anything to the body of the father so my friend had to
collect the bodypieces in a plastic bag. He had been in WWII in the
russian front and seen all.

Later in the investigation was foud that the lockspring of the operating
lever had been broken and missing.
