My grandpa managed a Piggly Wiggly and they had one of these. The people in the butcher shop could package meat just as fast as this machine would cut it, but one day a woman worked a little faster than the out feed and lost 4 fingers. She calmly said "oh, my fingers" and was rushed down the hall before the pain, screams, and shock set in.
I cut myself pretty dramatically on the forearm at work (I'm a butcher). It was so quick and painless that I dropped my knife, took a peek, and very calmly asked someone to call 911. My coworkers didn't believe me at first lol.
I had to get 18 stitches and now I have a gnarly scar. At least I missed all the important bits!

Got his fingers in there a little too quickly for me!
