One of my offroader friends is a machinist with Delta Airlines. Someone emailed him some pics of a lathe accident that resulted in the operator's death. Seems that his sleeve got caught in the chuck and he was sucked in. It is a large lathe; looked like a 12" or so chuck. It is very sobering to realize how dangerous some of our "toys" can be.
