Whoa, that made my remaining hair stand up. Several years ago, I was
doing a long rip with a circular saw and noticed that a few long hairs
were bouncing off the blade. Only a few hairs had come untied and none
got caught by the blade, but it scared the **** out of me and so that
was the last day I ever had long hair (not that I could anyway lately).

Second son was working under his pickup when I came home from yard
saleing with a mechanics creeper, so I told him "here try this" and
left for another area of town. All went well at first, his pony tail
well secured; then he had to move a little to one side. I don't know
the fine details, but about an hour latter he was out from under the
truck.
Now he has a 1/2' brush cut.
