Having been apprentice in a major machinefactory in the Netherlands and now having been a technical teacher for about 30 years I've seen it almost all.Luckely I never experienced an accident that was fatal.
A apprentice, drilling 3 mm holes in a steamdryer found his overall caught in the spindle of the drillpress. The old overall luckily gave way in that is was torn apart. Him leaving in his underwear being very lucky.
As a teacher you are not supposed to hit or kick students in Holland. The only time I kicked them in the .... was when they worked the lathe or mill without their safety glasses. It worked very well and they learned very quickly.
Once a students hair got caught in the drill pres: he was scalped! His hair was exposed in a frame over the drillpress as an example for others.
I could go on for some time mentioning almost accidents, but that takes to long.
I myself are sometimes worried working in my workshop under the house. Suppose something happens and the wife is looking TV. I could bleed to death. So I always try my very best to work as safe as I can. And still I get some cuts and bruises.
