    That kid is lucky he still has all his body parts. That easily could have ended VERY badly for him.

    Was he really testing the machine's strength? There's obviously at least one dimwit there but I can't tell for certain whether he put himself in a dangerous position while trying to loosen the chuck and someone turned the machine on or if he really thought he had a chance against the machine.

    And yeah, that could have turned out far, far worse.

    There's almost always more possibilities than the obvious. Perhaps they were filming because Sasquatch tightened the chuck and they were having a competition to see who could loosen it.

    Nah... those are right hand threads. He'd have to be pulling from the opposite side of the machine, and I'm not sure those things have a reversing mechanism...

    If you've seen the graphic pictures of people getting chewed up and killed by those things, you'd not be pulling something stupid like you see in the video. I'm so grossed out by them I won't even post a link...

    One would think that if those kids had even seen that small lathe running they would know better but obviously that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Very stupid.
