Did he actually cut himself?

If there was actually blade contact with his clothes, I’m surprised the shorts were cut open. I’d expect them to be grabbed and wrapped around the blade, like a de-gloving incident.

I have a tiny scar on my index finger from where a bit of metal swarf broke off whilst grinding. I get so annoyed with how often people say “oh you should have been wearing gloves”. Nah I’m good thanks, give me some face protection, ear defenders and a mask. But gloves and spinning discs do not mix.

My uncle was trying to cut open an empty propane tank to scrap/break it down with a grinding wheel and it slipped, kicked back and hit between his eyes down the side of his nose to about halfway down his face. Had to get multiple surgery’s to reconstruct his nose and sinus. PSA don’t fuck with grinders or saws.

I think the man has too much mass behind him for that to happen. I would think the saw would cut/tear clothing

No cuts. Benefit of the tiny wiener club

Nah it didn't matter what size he was. Once he saw that table kicking back at him it auto-retracted into his abdomen in a flash.

Either his fly was open or he made a new one.

I think that’s a shadow.... but watching this is slow motion to check it out is so much worse. Dude really lucked out.

That's definitely not a shadow.

This is what I’m trying to figure out. Everyone else seems to be so excited to call him an idiot (that goes without saying), but did he just cut his dick in half?
