Some things just shouldn't be built

[Kevin in Ohio]

We have all seen the wheel of death but here is someone who actually thought it was a good idea. So many things on this set up make me cringe so watch at your own risk.

If someone gave this to me, I'd take it! Get out the torch and cut it up, haul to the shredder to save anyone from loosing a body part. Amazing. All that risk just to split Pine?

I don't want my fingers anywhere near it. I have future plans for all of them that involve them all staying on my hands.

Hurts just looking at it.

Seems like a waste of a good maul to me.

Guy can't spell either, spelled death wrong. Must of typed with the hand missing a digit or 2.

 

[philoshop]

WOW
Should be hand-flip start though. Like the old airplane engines. At least then there'd be a little warm-up period for the brain to disengage and not get in the way.

All I can say is .... WHY ? Sometimes the risk is not worth the reward.....and I think this falls in that category . Wish the fella luck..hes gonna need it !

Maybe he didn't spell it wrong. We don't know what his budget was!

 

[dave_dj1]

yeah! UH, NO, NO AND NO!

Any bets his new nickname will be "Lefty" ?

That's one of my favorite spinning wheel of death videos!

Btw, I actually like the belt around the tire drive system. I may use that for a project someday.

True, could be he was thinking of all the upcoming medical bills.

 

[Henry and Wanda]

Hello,
Whatever floats his boat....he just doesn't value his hands and fingers like sane people do. I also hope that he has health insurance so you and I don't have to pay for his medical care if he loses a hand !!!! Other than those remarks.....people still forget that this is a free country...if he's not hurting me or someone else and it's legal, he can do what he likes !!!!

I can't even watch the full video. That thing is an appendage remover waiting to happen!!! It's not how it's when that guy has an accident.

The loss of digits is one thing, having one of those pieces catch just wrong and flipping it directly into your face is another. You can see in the video how it could happen.

What happens when the wedge breaks loose and comes flying at your head? I personally do not need that fast of a cycle time.

I do agree with Henry and Wanda to an extent, freedom of choice if you will. The problem I have is if he has kids and they have to help. That, and they grow up thinking it is normal.

Life is full of risks and tightropes, there is no need to grease the wire.

 

[fuzz1500]

Correct.....It is a free country...and we are also free to comment on idiotic things as well . No one is trying to stop him...although it might be a good idea if someone did

What an ingenious design. I'm sure his FMEA study revealed there was absolutely no way anything could ever go wrong with that plan.
