Default What have been the worst home handyman accidents you've had,or seen so far ?

A kid at the highschool where a friend's wife teaches always wore
baggy track pants to school - regimental. Thought he was IT.

One day he somehow got his drawstring caught (wrapped around) on the
wood lathe. Got a few good wraps of the track pants wound up too. They
got the lathe stopped in time to save "the boys" - but JUST.
Didn't faze the idiot at all - - -


Maybe we're getting some insight into why kids don't want to take shop
classes any more. Given how they dress and groom, it's downright dangerous.
