oo another oneI worked in a foundry for a while as a metallurgist. One of my jobs was to test the metal before it was poured. This involved collecting samples and running them through various tests including a strength test. You place a newly poured bar into a machine with two jaws and let it slowly pull the bar until it snaps. Never put your hand on the piston I was told.
One day I forgot to remove my hand from the piston and saw the jaw rise up and through my finger taking a nice chunk out with surprisingly little pain. Still have a piece of finger missing over 20 years later.
