Good point Eric.
I'm glad some of my more stupid efforts were not caught on video.

Most real jobs have a no horseplay rule. Pull a stunt like that and you are fired. I wonder how much "fun" that broken , twisted or otherwise mangled leg was.
Also why was the power even on in the shop with no instructor in the room . I would not trust those Idiots with MY job.

I suddenly remember my Kipling!
"The Secret of the machines"....next to last paragraph
But remember, please, the Law by which we live,
We are not built to comprehend a lie,
We can neither love nor pity nor forgive.
If you make a slip in handling us you die!
We are greater than the Peoples or the Kings
Be humble, as you crawl beneath our rods!-
Our touch can alter all created things,
We are everything on earthexcept The Gods!
One of my favorites.....bet this bozo has a new appreciation for it...

I must have the same age as them, or maybe less
but after seeing this i feel just 1000 more intelligent! ;D
from the first day that I have my lathe, I have very careful with what I do, and not just for my fingers, also for taking care of the tooling, they are quite expensive for me, so extra carefull for breaking nothing
around the time I had my lathe (1.5 years +/-) the most significant accident has been cut a finger pulling the chips off of the way while the machine was running (with leather gloves, then I realise that using gloves wont help with protection, also put a extra risk that maybe our glove get stuck in something and rip off your hand) ..
I think one of these will not last either 1 week with a lathe in his home, they would end in pieces against the splashguard

"Can't fix stupid!"
Oh yes you can, it's called euthanasia! Or in this case perhaps youthanasia.
Failing that, let them get on with it and hope they didn't get a chance to pass their genes on to the next generation.
Sometimes, when I look at the younger generation, I wonder if King Herod had the right idea. :hDe:

THIS!
Judging from this kids arms... he's just a muscle head trying to show off to his buddies.
He SHOULD have lost a hand / leg to this.
It appeared he got away with it with only bruises.
Regarding the comments about "this generation"... I don't know. I seem to remember hearing stories about my father (and his father) doing PLENTY of stupid things when they were young, full of testosterone, and with their buddies encouragement/motivation.
There is a difference now in that kids aren't held responsible for their actions though. The sad thing is, that if that kid got REALLY hurt, (assuming it's in a High School somewhere), the teacher would likely have lost their job. The age we live in is messed up... certainly.
When I watched that, I was caught between wanting that kid to lose a body part to teach him a lesson, and realizing that the teacher would be the one who would REALLY pay if anything bad happened.
Dumb-ass kids.

He didn't get away with just bruises. His ankle snapped. I saw the original posting by the kid who shot the video and he states that the kid's ankle was broken.
good for him, that might be the beginning of learning and his friends also, Lathe Nut

I feel sorry for the shop teacher then.
I have a bad feeling that the apple didn't fall too far from the tree on this.
The kids parents are probably just as stupid as he is.
I imagine they'll want "justice" for their poor injured idiot son.
Hopefully not. I know I'm just making assumptions here, but grrr.... I have many friends who are teachers.
This makes me angry.

I'm currently under education, and that is, without a doubt, the absolute most stupid act that I have EVER seen and I have seen a lot of morons!
Most injuries happen when people are distracted or just being damned unlucky and then there are injuries like this which proves that some kids should have been a sticky spot on a bed sheet instead of being born!
DAMNIT! that is so stupid, dangerous and such a total lack of respect for something that is the most dangerous machine in a shop!
Even though it irritates me to admit that todays youth (myself being one) are such morons I quite often see something like this, thankfully not in the machinist area but I see a lot of stupid students trying to become smiths and spending more time setting fire to each other than actually learning something!
My little rant for now..... But I'm still sitting and cursing like a seaman!

Hi Checkedout,
At least there is photographic evidence of who is to blame for any damages. Apart from the parents, the political correctness groups, the courts, society and the manufacturers of the condom that burst when the numpty's parents got amorous (or was it pi**ed) always provided that they knew that what they were about to do would result in 20+ years of expense, which I doubt.
Trying to work out all the rants for the year, before the new season starts at the weekend.
Happy New Rant, sorry, Year

I am speechless! What a stupid ....... I believe programs like jack-ass (no offense to people who like it) encourage these kids to do such stupid things. Hope in future they will be proud of what they are able to produce with a lathe instead of this b-****.

When i first saw this idiot it was on a german site, apparently he reckoned he could hold the lathe ie.stop it spinning! he obviously failed, which was probably a good thing, else he would be trying it out on other machines just to show off his strength!
Does'nt bear thinking about
Max..........
