Here in the UK it is "Sods Law" that the piece will fly off the lathe
in the most dangerous trajectory possible.

Like buttered toast always landing face down on the floor.

In all the years that I have practiced turning dangerous pieces of
timber, not once have they landed safely out of harms way. I am so
happy that because of my slow reaction times I insist on wearing my
full face visor otherwise my features would have been remodelled
several times over.

Do not take the chance, expect the worst!

ALL would be done!
