Yeah, reminds me of a story told by an uncle of mine who owned a joiners
shop. When I was a small lad he had an employee who managed to cut a
finger off in a saw. One of his colleagues was nearby and asked 'how he
did that' ... 'oh like this' was the answer, to which injured employee
waved his hand at the saw again - and cut off another finger !!!

Moral of the story, turn the machine off after the first injury !!!
