I tried a couple times to reply but was just too pissed off and had to quit.
Yes, turning things in a lathe is dangerous. Some things more than others. These things get extra care when undertaken.
Google lathe accident? Did you also google car accident, train crash, plane wreck, nailgun injury..........
I guess this goes deeper for me than just this thread but it seems to me that society in general is leaning towards taking a limited knowledge of an action and looking for ways to apply any safety issue they can think of to it wether it fits or not.
People are so scared of danger anymore that they forgot how to use common sense and consequently they are constantly getting hurt.
At the rate this country is going you are going to need an associates degree and 12 hours of CE's a year just to use your own axe to split wood and then you will still need to do it out of sight of the neighbor lady lest she call the hatchet police on you.......
Ok, sorry, rant over. I got more but i'll save it.
