My parents have a friend who lost his arm in a thresher as a young man... And in my last job one of the other women got her long hair caught in one of the machines. Fortunately it wasn't the kind of machine that would take your head off, but still scary... After that they changed the safety procedures so that we had to have our hair tied up against our heads at all times like in the military.
