Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

Has anyone noticed how funny it is that the safety award has a pretty sharp point? Honestly, I cannot understand why they don't sand that down or something...
The most serious accident, and the only one of three we have ever had (in two years), happened to me of all people. I was cutting a piece of PVC pipe with a hacksaw. Blade wasn't tensioned right, it jumped out of the cut, and then proceed to slice through my left thumb about an eight of an inch deep... the worst that our machinist mentor said for one week I would not be able to use any power tools in his shop. Aw, man... The nesxt day a new rule was made that if you are doing any sawing (circular/reciprocating/jig/miter/band/hand/hack saw), you will wear leather gloves. If they do not, then I bite their heads off.

The irony of this story? I am the safety captain.
