Jack,
I was shocked when I saw that on HSM - the kid has no brains, no commmon sense, and no respect for machinery.
It's possible to get hurt even when you are careful, much less when you are begging for it like this kid.
Where is the instructor? No sign of him or her and kids are climbing on machines.
The instructor should have taught the kids to respect the power and potential of
the machines for good and to cause bodily injury. Plus, if the instructor wasn't around or had to leave the
classroom, the power should have been removed from the machines. I frankly like key switches like they
used to have on the radial arm saw in shop class when I was in elementary (grammar) school
To me, the instructor should be removed, not the course itself. Kids need to learn manual skills and safety.
I did, and now when I tell people the things I do at my house, they just look at me because they
are all desk jockeys like I am, but unlike them, I don't have to hire a plumber to change a drain.
The kid behind him who pushed the button should be suspended- that was a malicious and stupid
thing to do.
Sad, very sad,
Best,
Nelson
