My leg hurts just from watching that. Didn't they listen when the instructor told them that those machines won't just bite you, they'll chew you up and spit you out? He's lucky there weren't bones sticking out of flesh at the end of that. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com Do you need to implement control loops in software?

There is also in human nature a resentment of injury, and indignation against wrong. A love of truth and a veneration of virtue. These amiable passions, are the latent spark. If the people are capable of understanding, seeing and feeling the differences between true and false, right and wrong, virtue and vice, to what better principle can the friends of mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?" --John Adams |

I've had a 22-23 yr. old jump back like a startled cat when I turned a lathe on for a second cause he was asking questions. Somehow, I would guess computers, they are suppose to try the unlikely to see if it works. My kid did something like that in front of me, can't recall exactly what it was. Something to do with audio video, like fast forward and rewind at the same time, but that wasn't it. I guess as if there is a special feature hidden behind trying to break it or one's self to see what happens. SW |

Thinking ahead to predict the possible outcomes of something you are about to try has to be taught or learned the hard way. It does not always come naturally to teens. What might be new is the idea exemplified by Jackass or Beavis and Butt Head that it is alright to sit back and watch while your friend is about to hurt himself. The guy with the camera must have figured something was going to go wrong or he would not have started filming. |

It is strange that the lathe is in forward, and the guy holding on to the chuck key is obviously expecting the chuck to rotate in the forward direction. Perhaps the object of the exercise was not chuck removal, but to see how far the lathe could fling a thrill-seeking idiot. -- Regards, Chas.

In high school, I crashed a chuck on this kind of lathe: http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/16k20-Lathe.jpg The spindle motor was 10 kW and the lathe weighed 2.5 tons. Despite the crash, I fell in love with lathes. I wish I could get that kind of lathe, for myself, now. i |
