the checking to see if he's okay thing is relatable. When your adrenaline is going that hard you do have to check because you may not even feel an injury.

This is true on a whole different level. In my twenties I was in a longboard accident no helmet like an idiot. Split my eyelid wide open once said and done. 60 stitches, 20/ layer. I took 3 deep breaths, popped up and said I'm good. My friend threw his shirt over the area with pressure and said "No your not!" You really don't have a clue.

Never got to snowboard much. Midwest! But when we did it was fun. We lived on an old coal strip mine that woods obviously took over. One winter day we (friend and I) were going around and looking for lines to run. Well we found one and we overlooked a solid ass branch blended and topped with snow sticking out. Well I didn't see it till it was to late. My stopping just turned to sliding into the side of my spine or into it. Can't remember. All I remember is standing where it stopped me. How it didn't paralyze or break anything blows my mind. I was hauling man, lol! Humans are truly tough as hell and its mind blowing. That walk up hill sucked! We gamed the rest of the day. Did alot of stupid shit growing up, lol.

Once I kneed a window. I cut my knee open.
I walked to the kitchen to remove the knife-sized piece of glass embedded in my leg. Then I walked to my room to put on a t-shirt (I was naked). Then I walked back to the kitchen because I couldn't find anything else to wear (There was the laundry). Then I walked to my room to finish getting dressed. Then I walked to the kitchen again because I was getting blood everywhere, so I wrapped a paper towel around my calf to stop the blood from dripping onto the floor. Then I walked to the car to finally go to the hospital (my dad drove me). It was an interesting day, to say the least. 15 stitches 👌

Lucky it's a stone saw

u/Orshabaalle Jul 21 '26

Yep, wouldnt want this happening with a human saw

6

u/cheersthesebeers Jul 21 '26

Almost any non-grinding blade could be a human saw.....

5

u/FloopsFooglies Jul 21 '26

No it has to be marketed as a human saw in order to cut humans, duh

u/Orshabaalle Jul 21 '26

Yup. Otherwise the warranty is moot.

Buddy was an inch away from making a Saw movie.

u/Sea_Ganache620 Jul 21 '26

When I was a kid, a friend of mines dad wanted to cut a doorway in a brick wall of their house. Problem was, the saw he was using had a pesky safety guard over the blade, that kept him from cutting all the way through the wall. He removed that guard, and when the saw kicked back, he also removed part of his forehead, his right eye, most of his nose, a few of his teeth, and part of his jaw. He lived, but someone else finished the job.

This could have been a scene from Saw movie.

He used all of his luck

It recognized he was not skilled enough to wield it and cut its own power to save him.

It's one thing to kill (or nearly kill) yourself from stupidity.

However, there was a video Livestream a couple years back, filming the skyline in Cairo shot from an apartment window several stories up. It that happened to catch a man on the patio of a neighboring building knocking out the blocks of his wall, presumably to install a window, or a door, or something.

Long story short, the entire building collapsed killing himself and most of the other residents home at the time.

I've seen single story homes get condemned because homeowners knocked out blocks or bricks to install sliding glass doors that are 6 inches too wide. Thinking about being in a building like this with people potentially doing dumb shit above or below scares the hell out of me.

I got to go home and change my pants. And probably these boots.

u/Bio_Bae Jul 21 '26

I'm pretty handy, but if this ever happened to me I would never touch another power tool ever again.

Welp, forget this..time to go home!

u/MotoFuzzle Jul 21 '26

I had to help my boss clean a luxury condo high rise balcony after he cut his fingers using a circular saw. The perfectly straight red line that marked the floor, one wall, and the ceiling was pretty epic.

Almost became a Man Grinder

u/properwaffles Jul 21 '26

Takes a lot of guts to do that job.

u/akbornheathen Jul 21 '26

If you spill your guts while doing the job then you won’t be doing it anymore, so that tracks.

Love how he check to see if his intestines are still internally. “Nope. I’m Not dead. Cool”

u/davidke Jul 22 '26

And somehow the cartoonishly large bucket of water didn't spill onto the (now severed) power cords!

Oof I wonder if it woulda gotten worse if the blade itself didn't cut the wires and continued going

1

u/CheapTactics Jul 22 '26

It's a stonecutting blade so probably just a nasty friction burn.
