Grinder attack

My feet went numb.
I did not look right away. Took some doing to get unwound from the thing.
I've had a shirt sucked into a brush wheel before.
Glad you're pretty much OK!

Been there, done that a time or 5 lol. Being a welder can be dangerous at times.
Did not look for a bit. Waited to see if blood soaked through. Took a bit to get the thing untwisted .
I was about 14 and working with a guy that was about 45 and was a salesman. He had no business in a shop. He was running a wire brush on a big (9 inch I guess) angle grinder.
It got caught in his shirt and twisted his hands up in the shirt and he couldn’t let go. It was stalled out and had his nipple wadded up in the brush. I yanked the plug out of the wall immediately. I was surprised the thing stalled out and didn’t break his arms.

I lit my beard on fire years ago.
Nope. Smells like pissing on a fire though.
mere flesh wound 
When I was in college at Kansas State I had a part to full time job on campus in the physics dept. I was grinding/prepping the end of structural steel sections for welding and the 8" disc caught something and the whole grinder shot toward my leg. I didn't feel anything, but saw a big gash in the left leg of my jeans. Since I still didn't feel any pain, i keep working for maybe an hour or so then stopped to go inside to get a drink. I walk in the building and everyone starts asking me what's wrong with my leg? Nothing, why? I look down, basically my whole left jean leg is blood red. I hit the men's room, drop my drawers and see red meat. A big chunk is carved out of my leg 3/8 x 3".
Just looked, still have the scar, ha. I'll spare you a pic of my skinny white leg, ha. One of my daughters also asked, why I"m sitting at the computer with my cargo pants to my knees. That was awkward, ha.

When I was in high school, there was a girl that wore a big fuzzy sweater into the class... Nobody in the class had the mind (including the teacher) to tell her not to run the belt sander like that.. Ended up running up the sleeve and sanded the side of her face. Got a permanent scar over most of her left cheek if I remember.
An old guy I worked with when I was in my 20's told me a story about himself.
He was in HIS twenty's working at a weld shop and wanted to clean the welding table. He took the guardless 9" grinder, layed it flat on the table and started running it like a buffer.
It caught, spun back on him, and took a 3/8" deep, 1/4" wide gash, out of his Peter
Then proceeded to tell me that when he was about 14 he was out hunting by himself on their farm. Climbed over a barbed wire fence. And the bottom wire gave way. He fell on the top wire, slid off the side and ripped his sack open. He had to push a ball back in and hold them all the way back to the house. Said it was about a week before he went back to find his gun.
