What a bunch dicks. I've seen someones fingers ripped off & his hand de-gloved to the forearm by a lathe, he didn't even know until he dropped the roughing gouge & the blank he was turning smaked it into the air smashing the lights above. That took 2 seconds for that to happen.

Lathes are very unforgiving machines, I am sure that if someone was caught messing about on a lathe like that in a school or college they would be expelled if caught!

Natural selection, serves him right for messing about with a dangerous machine.
