These pics were posted on Silencertalk.com as a reminder what can happen when working with lathes and machinery.
Safety is a mindset. One fraction of a second is all it takes.
The following link contains images depicting the death of a human being. They are extremely graphic in nature shown to remind us all to be careful around machinery. From what it looks like, the victim's loose clothing got wrapped around the workpiece and the results are, well, unfortunate.
I invite those that run shops to show these to your workers and reinstate your safety policies. Accidents can and do happen. If we work on safety together, these can be avoided. At my shop we go over the safety policies twice a week.
If you do not wish to see the pics, just heed my warning and carry on. Instead of posting the pics in the thread, I chose to post a link to my photobucket album instead. Those with the discretion to view the link, do so at their own will.
My sincere condolences to this person's family and friends.
