The man is lucky he wasn't killed or dismembered. I have a similar story,
with less dramatic results. Someone was turning some round stock by feeding
it through a collet, so the other end was sticking out into the aisle. One
of the other employees, wearing a shop coat, came by and the end of the
revolving barstock snagged his shoulder. It twisted his shop coat into sort
of a "rope," and then his whole body started turning and flopping at the
speed of the lathe until someone turned it off.
