What are the Chances?
What are the chances?
After reading Mo’s recent thread about his finger. I thought ide post this one
that happened to me last night.I was welding steel using a rod welder in our workshop.
I was sorta "in the zone" while welding away, then knocking off the slack with a hammer, wire brushing then carrying on welding. you know the procedure.
anyway, i weld a section with a heavy weld, then lift the welding hammer and chap off the slack. on doing so a large bit of red hot slack jumped up and landed "in my mouth" burning my lips. 😮 😕not amused and in pain, i decided to keep on my full face "auto-dark" welding helmet when chapping off the slack.
10 minutes later, i chap off another big bit of slack, this time it jumps up, lands on the back of "my neck", immediately i stand up straight and when i do, it tumbles INSIDE my top and down my back.
trying to stop it burning me i imediately arch my back to allow it to fall, when i do, it falls further…. right down the inside of my jeans + shorts burning my ar$e!now you can imagine the laughter as everyone is stood watching me breakdance then change to the river dance, then running to the toilet pulling my jeans away from my back side. 😳 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
best of it was, i was wearing full protective clothing, gloves, mask, the lot! :lol1:
anyway, thought i would share. 😕 :lol1:

Brilliant!
Using a similar welder I once set light to my mates overalls who was welding the other end of the bench, the splatter landed in his turn up and his overalls had smouldered away to his knee by time he noticed, I only knew when he came back from the valet bay with one leg shorter, blacker and wetter than the other!
Same day I also burned my whole hand, I couldn’t get hold of the tube properly so flicked the glove off and grabbed it – they heard me hollar 2 units away!
Being a very hot day – and having a body worth getting out, I’d tied my overalls round my waist at lunch, the welding after lunch shoulda been quick check of the apprentices work but it took half hour or more to sort the lads welding. Not having much in the way of h&s then I left my overalls round my waist. That evening I was down A&E getting 3rd degrees sunburn to my chest sorted out:-(
Not as funny as you dropping slag down yer crack tho!

Let me relay my latest H&S misadventure.
A couple of days ago I was reversing a large box van up to to the roller shutter of our unit. It was too big to go inside and I had asked Alison to watch the top of the van didn’t hit the overhang while I was reversing back.
I could see her in the wing mirror saying something but couldn’t hear her properly so I wound down the electric window to hear what she had said – then pressed the button again to close it just as she started saying something else, so I instinctively stuck my head out of the window again only to be struck in the Jaw by the window as it closed
My front tooth is still aching now 😕

She was shouting: "Whatever you do, Don’t stick ya head outta the window"
