Could have ended up much worse. How many things did they do wrong?


I think that clip is faked.

It sure looks like his right leg was well over the lathe bed before the
scene shifted and he was on his back with his right foot under the
chuck. How did it get back up there?

Opines please...



I think his pant leg snagged on the chuck jaws and pulled his foot
back under the chuck.


Y'know, I think I was wrong....I slowed down the video and it does look
like his pant leg was involved in pulling his foot back up and under the
chuck.
