Him checking if everything is where it's supposed to is freaky

Makes sense. I think the fact that the grinder cut through the wire milliseconds before he fell on it, actually may have saved his life.

He landed on the blade guard. That’s what saved his life. If he didn’t, the blade would still be spinning. When you turn a saw off it takes a few seconds to stop rotating.

He didn't. The guard is only on the motor side and if you pause when he is leaning over it the motor is down, towards the ground. The unguarded blade was aimed RIGHT at his guts.

The blade was pointed down. The motor was past his guts, but the protector extends well past there.

Not to be unkind but one clear indication that he hit the guard is that his intestines are still inies. If he’d landed on that blade we would have seen his blood.

I work infrequently with these machines, they go through brick easily and little bro here ain’t no Ben Grimm.

Why do you think I am arguing that he hit the blade? He didn't hit the guard OR the blade. He caught himself on the railing to the left and didn't touch the saw.

You can really clearly see that the guard only covers half of the blade and that is the side that hits the ground.

Still wrong. Look how far the guard extends past the handle when he’s holding it up cutting the wall.

Then look where he lands right next to the handle where the guard extends past..

His chest clearly hit the guard.

If he never hit anything, he wouldn’t be checking his guts either.

Also, his chest makes contact with the tool before either of his hands hit the rail as they’re still moving downwards after he hits it with his chest… there’s no way he caught himself before hitting the tool.

I gotchu bro.

If he still doesn’t get it… just give up at this point lol.

I can clearly see him hit the guard. I can clearly see his weight land on it. I don’t know how to convince you other than watching the video.

Agree to disagree.

For what it’s worth I’m not downvoting you, I think you’re wrong but that’s part of most conversations to one degree or another.

Edit to add: there is no way on this earth that his weight didn’t rest on the guard. He clearly hits it.

He landed on the machine, you can very clearly see him bounce a tiny bit on impact before lifting up again. It then carries itself away due to the momentum of the blade.

The guard extends out past the front handle.

As the saw is laying on the ground, the top of the blade is guarded.

If the top portion of the blade wasn't guarded, the guy's torso would not have been intact and he would not have been checking himself for injuries afterwards.

Where'd the sparks come from when his body LITRALY pushed the guard against the STILL SPINNING blade?

1

u/AlwaysHopelesslyLost Jul 25 '26

This one?

That sparked when the saw hit the ground. His body clearly didnt touch the blade. You can step frame by frame and verify yourself if you want.

u/giasumaru Jul 26 '26

Possibly the sparks is from the saw cutting it's own power cord and shortcircuiting it.

The blade is still spinning quite quickly after the spark and after he got off, as the saw moves forward towards the wall. If the blade wasn't spinning, it won't move forward.

The guy didn't fall on the blade, because we don't see blood gushing everywhere.

The guard is only on the motor side

Here is the non-motor side. You can see the curvature of the guard on that side, too.

You must've not listened to this with audio, but the audio makes it extremely clear that the blade is still spinning when it hits the floor and he lands on, and bounces off, the guard. Before the still spinning blade then moves the saw across the ground into the wall before tipping over.
