A kitchen Aid can fuck you up for real. Smash every bone in your hand.
When I was in my 20s I worked as a baker and we had a 60 qt Hobart like the one below (pic pulled from the internet) There was a crushed I gallon heavy duty aluminum measuring cup on display as a reminder. One day I was working with Betsy, another baker, and we were checking the consistency of the dough. I put my arm into the mixer to pull the dough from the side of the bowl and for some reason Betsy had a brain fart, actually this rose to the level of a day after Taco Tuesday brain shart, and she pushed the ON button. It's a big-ass 3 phase motor that makes a grunt before it starts moving. I heard the 'grunt' and moved my fucking arm like lightning.
I gave a what the actual fuck? look and she was horrified.
Close fucking call. Those machines will fling around 200 pounds of dough like it's a rag.
