Well basically my Job role is an Engineer and I work in the machining department Ex. On Lathes, Grinders, Milling machines etc. Well it was an hour before my day was over and I was on the Milling machine and one of the wheels was on Travis which means it was automated and cannot stop unless turned off so it keeps spinning anyway I walked past it and it caught my overalls, that's when the adrenaline kicked in and I thought I was going to die it doesn't sound like much but if your an engineer things can get bad Ex. People on lathes have been chopped in half etc. Anyway it caught my overalls and i was on the floor and the machine was very fast sucking my in and it was twisting my overalls around which then nearly snapped my arm it was then when a guy noticed and shouted for help people rushed over a hit the emergency stop button, if it was seconds longer i would have been dead just thought I'd let you guys know how close I really was to death today, it was frightening. Only injuries I withstaned are cuts on my arm where it wrapped me in and a sprained arm and a sprained leg I am very very lucky and really does make me now appreciate life a lot more.

Re-posting this due to circumstances don't post irrelevant things, would be nice to see some Engineers post and get their opinons and feedback on this.
 
at least you didn't die like a bitch
 
Damn, sorry to hear about that.
