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.

People are weird that way. I subbed in a middle school shop years ago. I was showing the kids how to bend sheet metal to make dust pans. A kid from a different section had permission to do some drilling and damned if one of the dust pan crew didn't walk over and push the start while the kid was switching bits. Yeah, it was bloody.

Did he say "I dunno" when you asked him why he did it?

I was a little busy stopping the bleeding. I let the building principal go hammer and tongs on him. He was more fearsome.

Sounds like he didn't like the kid drilling holes, either.

Foot, I worked in a pizza restaurant as a teen.
They actually had hazard tape around the base of that type of mixer (probably not the same model, but the same size) to keep us pesky teens away from it.

Given that the head cook on the shifts I'd worked had numerous burns and scars, I gave that machine a w-i-d-e berth.

IDK about other states but in NY you can't operate a meat slicer if you are under 18.
