Also at 22:49 in the video, the mans hair gets awfully close to the fan belt on the running engine. Back when men were men !

I think most of us who have been around machinery most of our working lives can recall someone getting his/her hair or clothes caught. I remember one such incident in which a young fellow did have long hair, and was winding cable onto a large reel. He was dragged up and over the top of the reel, and scalped as it drug him under on the other side.

Wonder what the injury rate was? Almost no safety glasses. No steel toes or safety boots. No hard hats.

Anyone who has ever worked in an open hearth of a steel mill knows what a pair of safety glasses quickly looks like. Little bits of metal embedded in the glass ... sometimes like looking through a couple of Brillo pads.

Not many complaints.
