My buddy Greg aka Mudd Mutt was working in his garage when this incident happened. I take his direct quote

"Well after 35yrs of accident free building and fabricating and welding things galore,,,,It happened last nite,,,the grinder I was using (1handed like a dipshit) caught and went right across my left wrist and cut a 3"long by about 3/16"deep "blood gushing trench" in my arm,,,WOO HOO 14 some steches ( opps there called "sutures" now) later, I got to come home. BOY do I FEEL LIKE A DUMBASS!!!! SO Boys and Girls USE BOTH HANDS ON POWER TOOLS! Oh yea this has been 1 hell of a vacation!"

OUCH That looks nasty I willl be sure, though, to use BOTH hands when I grind........Which in my case, just means I will get 2 new scars......My husband is forever laughing about how clumsy I am.... It's a gift

When in doubt, hit it in second gear!

I thought the grinder was a one handed tool.? AAHH thats why it kept flying out of my hand lol. You gotta watch them grinders there dangerous as hell. My buddy had a disc come apart and get him in the chest and neck he was all f-ed up. Get well soon

Thanks Guys and Gals,I'm doin ok. Dave I didnt throw it I was to busy keepin the blood from gushing out! When we got back from ER I taped the ER wrist band to the grinder,kind of a sic reminder to anyone who uses it lol And my buddy David went back to welding under the truck and caught his shirt on fire!(he's a rookie) lol So we called it a night.

"Lets go get stupid"

My dad and Scott (yankee) almost had a bad one like that last week, My dad was using one of those 6" cut off wheels in a big ol grinder and the cut-off wheel had a place in it where it was chipped on the edge and it cought in the steel they were cutting and the rest of the cut off wheel basically exploded and a piece of it that was about an inch and a half wide and 3 inches long flew up right in between both of them and stuck in the insulation in our 12' ceiling in the metal building! That could have gotten real ugly real fast!
Be more careful next time, Dad and Yankee!!
