They have plenty to make you squirm on the front page. So far this year there have been 2 separate traffic accidents where there were dismembered corpses, Bush knife attacks (Machete) and people who try to flee from police (Bullet wounds everywhere). Topless 12yo girls on page 3 today. Actually depression and suicide rates here are low. It must only the people with too much money that get depressed. But then I think it's more that they let it all out instead of bottling up their troubles which accounts for the high murder rate. -- Brad Leyden 6� 43.5816' S 146� 59.3097' E WGS84 To mail spam is really hot but please reply to thread so all may benefit (or laugh at my mistakes) > >

My old man was a chippie. 2 stories that spring to mind are a guy who did his femoral artery with a circular saw. All the guys on site were called to watch this guy die as a warning. The other one was a guy sticking his thumbs out while using a bandsaw. He cut one off and had to get it surgically reattached. 10 weeks later he was back at work and doing the same job. Careful not to cut off his newly reattached thumb he held his thumb to the side and promptly cut off the other one. Fraser

That's actually funny, but I bet he didn't think so :) On the subject of industrial accidents, although not saw related, I once was standing about three feet away from a bloke with shoulder length hair who got it stuck in a radial arm drill while he was doing some machining operation, and it ripped half his head off. The drill was turning fairly slowly at the time, and I don't know if that was a good or a bad thing, but it pulled his face into the machine and then tore off his scalp on the right side of his head including most of his right ear. It was pretty scary to witness, and the surprising thing was that he didn't seem to feel a lot of pain. I don't think he went into shock, as he was quite coherent and was concerned about getting his bits back out of the machine. He looked like Skelator out of some horror movie with half his head missing, and you could see his skull, but there was very little bleeding and he seemed more concerned about the loss of his hair than anything else. The managed to reattach his ear and most of his scalp, but he had no hair on half his head for a while. That didn't seem to bother him much as he religiously wore a hair net after that. -- Regards, Noddy.
