When I was at college in Birmingham in the early 1970s a Safety Officer from "the BSA" came to do a talk on workshop safety and showed us a snap he'd taken several years before on a works tour looking out for dangerous practices. He'd seen a turner put his hand out to stop a lathe chuck and whipped up his camera to illustrate. The picture he showed us was of a man with his left hand in the air with a white string connected to the chuck...this was the tendon from his wedding ring finger.
Pass the sick bucket mother!
The real lesson is that your hand should never be used to stop a machine tool, irrespective of marital status
