Yeah, 2 people got hurt last year. One guy tried to hold down a peice of metal that was too short to be held down by the shear... cut his hand pretty good (sheer didnt hit his hands, but the metal tipped up, and pinched/cut his pretty bad)
And a goth kid was working on a lath, and got his really long thumbnail removed by the chuck, because he tried to ajust it when he was high, and the machine was running
nobody sued, and it was both of their falts anyways (goth kid might have, but they would have done a urine test first)
Getting scary with all the lawyers, what happened to "get hurt, its your falt for being stupid"?
