The guy that works in the office next to me cut off his index finger and severely damaged the next three fingers while cutting some siding at home this past weekend. I had a great deal of sympathy for him until I found out how he did it. He was cutting some siding on his house and couldn’t get to part of it with a circular saw so he decided to attach the blade from the circular saw on a hand grinder. Can you imagine! Picture standing on a ladder holding an electric motor with a shaft and a 7-1/4 inch unguarded spinning blade in one hand! He is “lucky” he only lost one finger, that thing could have killed him.
Why do people take chances like this?
Do you?
Do I?
It reminds me for some reason of another time when I saw a guy with a gas motor strapped to his back with a shaft and a propeller sticking out of it just above his head. Luckily his buddy couldn’t get it started, or that guy would have been dead, and probably a few others around him. Why do people take chances like this?
