well someone just did it again why do people stick there hand in the dam shoot

[briggs]

yes u are right another dummy will do it Dave and as for the safety's go yes they will add more because people cant use there head for 2 seconds and shut the dam thing off ..I have seen some hasty **** happen over the years to people working on heavy EQ and most of it was caused because the did not shut the machine off ..then u have the guys that run the EQ in closed spaces and gas themselves its nuts ..Some people have no common sense when it comes to safety or there EQ

Do not worry about them worry about you. I have though I was being safe many times and had an accident or a near accident.

As long as we're engineering safety in at any cost? How 'bout the table saw brake that senses a hot dog as a demo (or your hand) and stops the 10" blade in a few nano seconds, leaving only a slight scratch? Of course prohibitively expensive when mfgrs won't even put on gauges which cost $25. The farm equipment subject, I believe, is a deep one, and puts farming right up on the most dangerous list of occupations along with logging. You professionals must be especially careful due to fatique and over familiarity with the equipment. Be safe and well!!

Hmmm....
$5 chute unclogger? Or lose my arm? I wish everyone would think through this! :mur:

Yeah the one on my snowblower came in handy yesterday. :thumbsup:

All our machinery at Ford's had dowels hanging near the safety gates, called chopsticks. They were for exactly that, to clear stopped machinery, just in case the safety gate failed. Far better to chop a wooden dowel than your hand/arm. My snowblower is old enough to not have one of those small plastic shovels to clear the chute. I use a cut-off broom handle.

I had to unclog my blower because of a plastic bag. I was going to just do it, but I told myself to turn it off and be safe. I'm glad I did!
