when angle grinders fight back

[suzota]

i have just lost a fight with my angle grinder.

i now have a hole in my left arm that has taken 7 stitches to close up.
nearly cut the tendons. :'(

[strapping young lad]

ouch

dunno if anyone here is an afficionado of welsh rugby but a prop who played for neath is a farmer (brian williams RIP) who was cutting steel on his farm holding steel in one hand, grinder in the other, got distracted and nigh on cut his arm off, when it got fixed you could see where his repair was cos his arm wasnt straight anymore

blamed the dog:)

ouch!
Mine got me once. Fired a bit of metal shard into my eye. My own silly arse fault for not wearing goggles.
Hope it heals soon, matey!

ouch! dangerous ol things, especially when u have to take safety covers off to get into that hard to reach place! lucky no serious damage eh!

erm at the time i didn't feel like taking pictures, stopping the bleeding was more important.
