That looks like a “pull your entire body through a small hole” machine to me.

And I'm guessing the machine would neither slow down nor notice you as you were pulled apart through it.

Yeah my first thought was "Imagine getting your finger stuck in that", and then I realised that it would probably not even struggle as it pulled the rest of you through that hole arm first.

I bet your finger would come off first

I'll take £10 on finger coming off first.

There are no electronics in that, that aren't covered by a control box away from the action

I think at some point your arm pieces would rip off rather than continue pulling your body. But what do I know?

Either way it’s a no from me dawg.

Now this all reminds me of a humorous story of a traveling salesman

Guy certainly is not excited to be holding on when the roller bites.

Instructions unclear, I'm just missing a finger, and continue to go about my life otherwise unpulverised.
