Jesus fuck that sounds bad... sorry about that.
That shop took a lot of shortcuts on safety. I had to pull a dude out of a mill to prevent a 2" drill going into his head because he tripped into it. Never again will I standby as I put my own hands at risk for efficiency over safety.
A while back, a friend of a friend of mine, all of us ended up together at some nerd type convention...
He'd beeen degloved.
But, miraculously, they surgeons and doctors had managed to ... put the glove back on... and while he did have problems with certain motions and sensations... his hand pretty much worked normally, and I didn't even see anything out of the ordinary wrong with his hand for hours... it just came up in conversation that that jad happened to him, and I was shocked.
Yeah I didn't see it happen, but just thinking about industrial accidents.... fucking oof.
Yeah, safety rules are written in blood, they're there for a reason.
I've got PTSD for... non industrial accident reasons, but I absolutely sympathize with having to see something that horrific first hand.
RIP to the departed.
