Re: Vid: M.A.R.S. 1523 learns a very important safety lesson

As someone who also values your safety, I would suggest you NOT wear gloves near any spinning objects. You are much more likely to get the glove caught in the spinning object and hurt yourself much more than if you had bear skin.

The real solution to this was to not hold down a CIM motor with your hands. Never, ever, ever, ever get near something spinning that fast and that large. It does not matter if there was/was not a disconnect, or you were wearing gloves etc.

I am very glad that no one got hurt.
