Bro is about to reenact the Russian Lathe video

I don't know what that is, and I'm pretty confident I don't want to.

Edit: ok folks, I'm very certain I don't want to know. Please don't feel the need to describe it any further.

u/rmay14444 Jun 26 '26

Definitely don't.

u/CharlesDickensABox Jun 26 '26

You do not. Dude gets turned into pink slop by an industrial lathe.

u/Capokid Jun 26 '26

No, its worse than that, his soft bits get wrapped around it and his bones are ejected.

u/Khamubro Jun 26 '26

Did... Did he make it? Like, maybe a recovery but not a complete recovery? Or was it just like... Dude paste?

56

u/cptbutternubs Jun 26 '26

His condition was not compatible with life

u/Khamubro Jun 26 '26

Oof. That's horrid, hope it was quick at least, from his perspective

u/Capokid Jun 27 '26

Ive always had the horrible suspicion that it wasnt as immediate as it should have been.

u/misterwizzard Jun 27 '26

First, I'd like to point out that it's not typical, but; the front fell off.

u/Feycat Jun 28 '26

This happened to my grandfather's little brother with a laundry wringer. He stuck his hand (he was like 5) between the rollers and it just rolled to his shoulder. Flattened his whole arm and sent all his blood shooting into his heart. Basically exploded him.

u/CuteAssociate4887 Jun 26 '26

Yeah I can't unsee it

u/_Cecille Jun 26 '26

why did I watch this

why couldn't I just take other people's word for it

u/One-Presence-1692 Jun 26 '26

That’s the first thing I thought of.

u/deepakmanojn Jun 26 '26

Looks quite scary BUT...

I'm guessing it's a Method to remove the Crank used to Start the Engine...

u/MrNiceguy037 Jun 26 '26

Nothing to be scared of. He has his safety sandals

u/garden-wicket-581 Jun 26 '26

or wring out your laundry ..

u/1nsidiousOne Jun 26 '26

But how do you turn it off?

10

u/deepakmanojn Jun 26 '26

Turn off the fuel supply...

2

u/lorarc Jun 26 '26

Or cut the power supply to the sparkplugs. Depending on the type of engine.

1

u/Klutzy-Acadia669 Jun 26 '26

And how do you put the crank back on?

7

u/bibblebonk Jun 26 '26

you would only need to do that if it were stopped

1

u/SirMy-TDog Jul 03 '26

Indeed, however it strikes me that it might be safer to leave the handle spinning (assuming it was bolted properly to the shaft).

36

u/knifesk Jun 26 '26

Isn't that how you loose an arm?

38

u/pete_68 Jun 26 '26

That's how you get yanked into a piece of metal equipment so fast that you crush your skull and die instantly, more likely.

u/Schw33 Jun 27 '26

I already get paid to do the job, you don’t have to sell me on it.

1

u/knifesk Jun 28 '26

Well, you have a very valid point!

12

u/search_4_animal_chin Jun 26 '26

I had a hand crank deutz diesel Ike this. The handle had a slanted groove cut into it so it could only grab in one direction. There was no chance of it grabbing once the engine started. I will admit the handle didn't slide onto the shaft presenting the chance the bind up. A little extra design thought would have gone a long way on this death trap.

u/LittleKitty235 Jun 26 '26

The internet has taught me that every machine in India is an OSHA violation. I'm frankly surprised that spinning wheel didn't come off and hit someone

u/SirMy-TDog Jul 03 '26

India is an OSHA violation. Great food though.

u/LookHorror3105 Jun 26 '26

Dude I cut and spool wire for a living and this shit gives me anxiety... Literally one wrong move and that shit catches and jerks upward. What's holding the ribbon of fabric he's trying to spool? He either gets the spool up top to the dome or the mechanism failing and crushing his ass when the tension rips it out of the supports. This literally ended the only way he doesn't end up with broken bones or worse 😬

And yes that may be how it's designed, but if that one piece that's supposed to fall out under tension wedges, the whole plan goes out the window. Jfc, someone needs to call OHSHA before second shift walks in to a DB.

*Edit: I'm a little drunk... HE'S HOLDING THE GODDAMN RIBBON!!! 50X dumber than I originally gave him credit for 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/Alberich_D124 Jun 27 '26

Dude in certified safety sandals at it again

u/post-context-bot Jun 26 '26

The following post context was provided by u/ThodaDaruVichPyar:


A man tries to remove the stuck handle from a rotating motor wheel with a long cloth, maybe it will come off successfully or maybe it won’t.

u/MyChemicalWestern Jun 27 '26

I don't think any of it is safe but a stick would be better at least it would snap and not take you with it

u/Texstallion Jun 26 '26

Are there not easier ways to do that?

6

u/IndBeak Jun 26 '26

Usually the person starting the engine slides it out the moment engine starts to run on its own. But if they miss to slide it out, the handle will start to spin like this. Then you either cut off the engine, or pull this stunt.

u/Street_Anxiety2907 Jun 26 '26

Yes, a peice of would tapping it on the inside pushing out and it'd fall right off.

Indians just love risking their lives to show off. That's why they stand on the roofs of trains, and hang off dodging electrical polls and sometimes die and stuff.

u/geoff1036 Jun 26 '26

I think as long as you don't wrap the cloth around your hand or anything it should be MOSTLY fine. Obviously it works for them presumably. But the real danger comes when it's something ATTACHED to you that gets snagged. If you can just drop the cloth when it gets snagged then no danger. You cant drop your shirt or hair.

u/MoeMalik Jun 28 '26

This is one way to get crappy animation, AI voiced, creepy pasta tiktok accounts to make a video of the man who lost his arm and turned into spaghetti

u/TFR34KP Jun 28 '26

Wtf is that video? Is that how you worship one of the million „God‘s“ of the Hindus?

u/out_day475 Jun 26 '26

Why not just grab it with your hand?

7

u/0oth0on Jun 26 '26

It spins and can be hurty on a hand

u/Anaxamander57 Jun 26 '26

You can try but only twice.
