About 30 minutes, I was cutting some wood when my hair got sucked into the saw’s motor, pulling my face into the piece and giving me a bloody nose. I couldn’t pull the saw out like then, so I carried the entire piece to my tool rack to cut the hair off with scissors.
Tie your hair up people.
Luckily you weren’t using a lathe.
Oof, thankfully it was mostly your ego that was bruised. At least you can laugh about it after the fact with that image of you carrying everything around stuck to your head.
Damn definitely worth telling this story, I would never given a second thought to having hair down by the fan. Thank you for sharing
Manufacturing facilities often require people with long hair to wear it up to avoid it getting caught in the machinery (especially if there is an assembly line that doesn’t stop). We also sometimes require piercings to be taped down for the same reason. Glad youre mostly OK though.
I read the title and my mind immediately flashed to a video of a guy who got their coat caught in a lathe and then proceeded to be wrapped around it like a spool of wire.
