Ben as a college job i work at Home Depot, i worked in the Lumber Department, until..... anyone who has seen my left arm knows what comes after the until...
Let me tell you something, I will honestly admit, I made a mistake, i wasn't paying attention, and i put my arm in front of a spinning saw blade...

as a result, The Home Depot, fined my store, 200,000 dollars, because after the lawsuits and medical bills and what not, thats the approximate cost to the company, if an employee hurts is seriously injured on the job... never mind if a customer is hurt, and subsequently if you have been to home depot near the saws in the past year or 2, you probably have seen what the My store managers have affectionately refereed to as "The Schroeder Maneuver" on the Radial arm saw
