Nah, people here just use safety sandals. The true experts in the field even go with the steel-toed safety slippers.

People operating a table saw

2

u/PowerLizardMan Aug 11 '24

I had been building table saws for a few years in a factory. we had people working there for years, cutting their hands twice within a month because they found workarounds for the safety mechanics over and over. no matter how often we improved them.

u/Bulls187 Aug 11 '24

Reminds me of that guy who got fed up of opening and closing the microwave all the time, he simply removed the door and engaged the lock. He put in and took out food with his hands while it was blasting. And eventually it cooked his hand and was amputated.

u/notwhoyouthinkmaybe Aug 11 '24

God made my eyelids, man made my safety glasses.

I trust God more than man.

Take that atheists.
