I mean no disrespect to this man or his friends/family. I just want to remind everyone to be careful, things can and do happen you don't expect.

We all have and will again. I'm just trying to maybe make someone think twice about it next time. :thumbsup:

Yea, it's easy to get careless when you work around something like this. You get used to it and forget how dangerous something might be. A factory I used to work at had all those light curtain safety guards. sometimes people would find ways to get around them or turn them off and end up getting a hand caught in the machines. I've never seen anyone get more than a pinch or a broken finger fortunately. That was enough to scare me into not messing with them.
