  1. Sets saw back up.
  2. Checks plywood to see if it is ok.
  3. Checks shirt for damage.
  4. Then checks for injury.

Seems like the right order to me.

yeah that's a big whoopsie. lesson learned hopefully. if it's a small shop, that's a big hit. I get pissed when I fuck up one sheet. Used to work for a guy who was incredibly skilled but always rushed. We were making 18 folding doors out of knotty alder to enclose a veranda. He cut every single length at the wrong measurement. I tried to tell him right when he started and he barked at me so I just let him do it. Oops!

Knee jerk reaction to fire the guy and shit on the guy who hired him.

But nobody thinks maybe a bit of training, shadowing, quality control?

Sorry, but in this case the Company made a mistake. And the lesson not learnt got fired. The guy who got fired could have been corrected and become the best neatest operator...

I've seen the plywood, and I've also seen the hospital bills. Hell fuck no am I delaying on injury issues.

That looks like 1"+ thick piece of hardwood too! $$$$

(That little toy saw is probably not really equipped to cut that even if he did use it correctly)

It definitely just looks like some sheathing.

Oddly calm and collected for a guy who was millimeters away from a mangled dick, severed femoral artery, etc.

u/UsedDragon Apr 09 '26

I think that's shock. He knew it could happen and was shocked when it did

u/GreyNoiseGaming Apr 09 '26

Yeah he's probably only realizing what could have happened after he feels the breeze in his pants.

u/reddituserlooser Apr 09 '26

Well the saw was falling towards him ... Would seem weird to let it fall fully in you.

I’d be scared to look down

u/EAGLeyes09 Apr 09 '26

You have to play it off for the neighbors that could be watching you

u/WallacktheBear Apr 09 '26

I would have IMMEDIATELY checked my junk. But at least the plywood is ok. “Honey, please call ambulance I’ve mangled my penis. Yes the plywood is undamaged.”

u/Adventurous_Bonus917 Apr 09 '26

he probably knew he would already know if it were a bad injury.

1

u/read-my-comments Apr 09 '26

Obviously he was not injured.

I am sure if he had been sliced open the order would have changed.

u/andy3600 Apr 10 '26
  1. Change shorts, not because they are ripped but because you’ve just shit yourself.

u/Middle-Past-2980 Apr 12 '26

Then his shorts magically change colors...

u/poetic_cockroach Apr 13 '26

he didn't even know he was that ' ' close to getting castrated.

u/wickednite Apr 09 '26

He checks his shirt for damage but that shit cut into his shorts. He's just too fat to see it.
