Redditors who work at factories, what’s the scariest thing you’ve seen a machine do to a person?

I didn’t see it happen in person, rather the aftermath and some grainy footage. Even then, it was enough to fuck me up for a while. I didn’t know the guy personally but he was young, about two or three years younger than myself I’d guess. Probably barely out of high school. I worked on an assembly line with lots of moving parts. I won’t go too far into details, but the poor kid got his sleeve stuck on something and he must’ve panicked cause there’s protocol for that kind of thing, but he basically got sucked in. His whole body was dragged in within a split second and flattened, much like a rolling pin of sorts. Spit right back out. In the security cam footage you could see his body was completely limp when he got spat back out, like everything in his body had been crushed into paste. I didn’t last long in that industry after that, I was too anxious and paranoid to go back
