Thanks for the link! I was hoping that it was a safety experiment instead
of an actual life lost to a lathe accident. I think these pictues could do
more than any safety talk could do. I know I'll pay more attention to loose
clothing or anything else that can hang up in a rotating spindle.

Hi All

I have an 18" chuck on an old VDF lathe with 10 KW pushing it along.
Every time I turn it on I see those photos.

It now scares the crap out of me.

And so it should.

This was no setup it was a real accident.

Is this accident in the news anywhere? Just wondering because I know
some do experiments with corpses and the body doesn't look very fresh to
me. Of course it could be just the time between the accident and the
pictures but some parts of the picture look like it just happened but the
body doesn't look like the person just died. Kind of makes me wonder if
this was a real accident or a safety study of some sort. If it was a
real accident, there should be a news story or obituary notice somewhere.
