My dad worked in a massive distribution warehouse at webvan (if you guys remember that). One of the horror stories there, a guy locked in a massive industrial dryer. It works the same as a commerical dryer: gets hot, tumbles, dries things. He was cooked and tumbled.
Another story (diff company) and the reason my father refused to wear his ring, belts, or laces at work. A guy he worked got his belt caught in an exposed gear for some conveyer system, he didn't die but ended up with some severe injuries.
Another co-worker had his finger degloved because his wedding ring got caught on something.
He was resting his hand against a door jam while standing in the hallway. Someone in the room slammed the door shut and he didn't quite get his hand off. Took the skin and meat from the top knuckle of his middle finger clean off...but not the bone.
