  • They could've at least put a guard on the damn chain.

  • Poor girl.

    But hey, isn't it common sense to turn off a machine before

    you stick your hand in ?

  • Although my heart goes out to anyone who is misfortune enough to experience any work related injury I still have to say it amazes me how it isn't common sense in most people to shut any type of machine down (or disconnect its power source) that has moving parts on it before you attempt to clean or service it. This simple mistake could cost you your job, cause you fines from safety organizations or cause you weeks/months/years of misery from a work related accident! Its just not worth it. =(

  • hey had the exact same experience it sucks

  • that happened to me, but not as bad. just lost the end of my pinky finger. hurt like hell!

  • Ugh there isnt much that annoys me more then seeing total douches flagging videos.

  • prob shouldve been a guard on those chain

  • WE SAW THIS AT SCHOOL! before doing work experiance :) lol

  • seems like the pizza place was cutting corners

  • poor girle its just a horible way to be injured i had a freind had a freind hes dead beacuse he was fixsing a tank engine a it just started by itself his neck was cut he hardly surviived the night

  • Stupid trainer didn't tell the girl to stop the machine before removing the dough out.

  • wow that reallly sucks

  • my fingers feel proper weird now, poor girl.

  • yeah I'm curling my fingers up now holding them away from any nearby dough machines.

  • Workers should be trained with the equipment they are required to use - no excuses. Don't be a fool pretending that everyone should know how everythink works, and/or that safety is built in. Those of you blaming the girl, shame on you and stay out of my workplace. You're apt to get hurt or hurt someone else.

  • i did this job at pizza hut daily

    firstly, no minors are allowed to use this or the mixer

    second, the roller has a kill switch (a bar in front of the rollers)

    third, you clean it with a tool that is a windshield ice scraper, but branded and white for sanitation reasons (so dumbass drivers dont scrape bugs with it)

    forth, long sleeves and unrestrained hair arent sanitary

    like many accidents, people being stupid

  • I worked at round table, and our shitty roller had several cutoff switches, but they didn't work, the machine would come on randomly, and the only way to finish a roll on time is to break safety rules.

    I work at a rail yard in a refinery now, and its a hundred times safer there.

  • fair play, that must have been such a shock, but the fake hand at 2:57 is quite funny.

  • wow disgusting, poor girl. Great shock warning video.

  • i almost threw up what a painful thing to happen

  • OMG. Some ppl actually don't know that the video is an act. "OOOOh, the hand is like... so fake". Are you serious? LMFAO

  • lmmfao guess those are the people like her another statistic in the work place watch for there vids maybe theyll do it twice so theres a vid rofl!!!

  • why wouldn't you switch the machine off before playing around with it but yeah it must suck to be put in that position.

    another thing is was the re-enactment real

    but if it isn't that is really good special effects

  • they really should put safety covers on those chains...

    then stuff like this wont happen.

  • I am very sorry this happened to you, and I wish you the best. But I am sorry, putting your hands into a machine with moving parts is negligence. It's not the pizzerias fault, and I know OSHA guidelines, there was a warning on the machine "keep hands clear." Common sense will keep you safe 99% of the time.

  • she did not want to loose her fingers smartass who the hell are u talking for loose some fingers first by yourself moron

  • why do you even put yor hand in while it's still turning...<.<

  • im so sorry that must hert alot!

  • just a lack of common sense

  • I crushed 3 of my fingers in that exact same machine. I still have them but they were flattened out. I was a stupid mistake but as you can see, there isn't a lot of protection in the way of guards etc..that was 30 years ago. Thank go I still have fingers

  • You're a brave woman. Thank you for sharing this.

  • Lack of common sense and laziness was the reason here.

  • What is it with some of you senseless fuckers blaming the girl. Do you honestly think she did it due to lack of common sense or laziness?

    She was young, inexperienced and trying to do the right thing at her first job.

    As a safety professional myself, it is OBVIOUS that the machine drive mechanism (chain and sprockets) should have been guarded.

    'Blaming it on the worker' as the root cause of an incident went out decades ago you dumb shits.

  • that is why i push carts all day. the closest thing to a machine i will go to is a cash register.

  • You can't blame the pizzeria for not telling her obvious things

    we drive cars with engines that have very fast moving parts but it's common sense not stick our hands under the hood if your not a mechanic.

  • don't assume everyone is as smart as you are, it's the same as setting a bear trap and not telling the other hunters where you placed it.

  • I've never been around pizzeria equipment before, but I'm pretty sure I would know better than to stick my hand into moving machinery.

  • i lost my index finger at two, it got reattached but i have less mobility. losing fingers blows!!!

  • i feel her pain, i had two finger tips cut off in wood shop my senior year, i got them sewed back on still hurt once an a while, but i didnt lose them so i consider myself very fortunate

  • My husband saved his shop teacher in High School when the teacher was demonstrating a wood lathe. His tie got caught and was choking him. My husband reached over, stopped it, backed it up and freed the teacher. He was named shop foreman for the next 4 years, had access to all the facilities, and to the teacher's office where coffee and weed were the perks. We also had a girl get scalped by a belt sander. That was gross. She lost 1/3 of her scalp and hair. She successfully sued.:(

  • Belgian dough sheeters, rollers, dough dividers and L800 Hobart mixers. I used them for over 25 years. I still have all 10 digits because I knew where and when "NOT" to reach into.

  • This young girl is obviously very upset by what happened. Hopefully she'll cope well soon. I wish her the best. I had three fingers cut off in an accident when I was seven. Ouch, it hurts. Never put your fingers in the hinges of a park gate when it's closing. Still, the skin grafts from my backside do make it possible for me to kiss my own ass without having to bend over. You've got to remain possitve after all.

  • its only 3 fingers, theyll grow back

  • ZOMG, i feel her pain man, shes right tho, the badder cuts dont hurt at all, im 13 and i slicled a inch but to the bone on my thumb with an exacto knife and i didnt even know i cut it, till it bled down my shirt

  • Stop ! Think Safety !!! Turn the machine Off First,,,or it will Bite you !!!

  • It's sad but it's her own fault. She's 19. She should know to keep her hands out of running machinery. This is common sense.

  • I completely agree.

  • 2:58 omg i threw up almost lol

  • is that fake i think so....

  • Should of pressed the stop button before sticking her fingers in =S

  • I think it's parents fault...

    If they'd told her often enogh not to put her fingers into running machines this had never happened.

    You can't blame the pizzeria for not telling her obvious things

  • 3:57 So Fake....

  • Of course its fake its a reinactment.

  • yea you're right

  • its called "Re-Enactment" you dickhead.

  • l also thought something else, that the fingers in the roller are fake?

  • Disgusting +o(

  • I cried for you watching the video.

    I don't have children...Well i would have cried for you too, if you were my daughter.

    What a heart break.

    I am sorry for your accident, and am sure the recovery was difficult.

    It was incredibly brave of you to agree to make the video.

    Your bravery will help others. Really.

    Thank you

  • God that's scary.

  • All our sympathy for this unfortunly worker!

    Best kisses from france

  • You know, when the snowblower would get jammed frozen I would use a hockey stick in there to get it unclogged. Some machines are kinda inherently dangerous, seems common sense stuff to not stick your body parts in there. The only thing I can find in her defense is she mentioned she was tired that day. Big price to pay for an error of youth tho, I hope she's learnt from it.

  • Damn .... Freaky :o

  • That hand cant look any more fake

  • dawn!!! thank God!!! I work in Food service and with a slicer!! with a blade its no lie its scary as hell!!! but I made sure I got trained on that Mutha F**ker!!! nodoubt!! for 5 years I only got 4 to 6 cuts and burns in the kitchen and not serious!! and I prayed before each work day!! and after for protection!!

  • Harsh... fucking harsh...

  • This is why I have my daughter help me work on cars and things around the house, to show her what you don't stick your hand in. I'm surprised that garbage disposals don't have a big warning on the sink flange saying not to stick your hand in there, they get stuff in them you might want to clean out too.

  • its kinda her fault you should never stick your hand into a runing machine your just asking for it

  • thats why Australia has strick Trainning laws when working with Machine or Heavy Machine

  • thats depressing as fuck

  • ride or die when i was 21 I lost my arm due to a motorcycle accident,... you move on and keep on living......stop crying lol you are still alive

  • i never thought that I would be squimish looking at blood but that re-enactment was pretty gory, something about fingers cut off which I can't stomach!

  • oh ok why and the hell would you put your hand in a freaking roller if you new it was there and i have one and it doesnt matter because thats what happened to mine and i kept working and it like dissolved after a month

  • There's trining and then there's common sense. Don't put your hand near operating machinery. Duh.

  • lol whats the point of this tv show?

  • the hand is so fake when she gets it stuck

  • I ll never forget how a guy in our company lost a foot. he passed a wheelloader which turned around and the theeth of the shovel hit through the leg anf cutted of the foot.

  • Proper training starts at home. Common sense should tell people not to stick their fingers into a machine like that. It really sucks that this happened to her, but it should not be blamed on lack of training alone.

  • it an extremely rough thing to lose fingers. but where was common sense? don't stick your fingers into something with moving parts?

  • Two things, First i would have been more worried about me not feeling pain and would have passed out from freaking out, Second my damn hand is starting to hurt and i don't know why.

  • people are losing hands...feet..even their lives.

    as we speak.

  • Shit that is scary!!!!!! OMFG

  • Personally I would of turned off the machine then clean it. I dont see how they got a settlement. I think thats more common sense rather than training.

  • i wouldn't have passed out, I would have died! O.o i feel bad for her, God bless her!

  • i think this is fake--but cant ttell

  • I think it's brave of her to do this video if it's true, even if it isn't true, this sort of stuff happens to young incorrectly trained people, weather it's true or not, that's not the point, it's the message of the video that's the point - to inform young employees of their rights as well as the dangers of working around mechanical equipment.

  • Dear CHILDREN: This is a SAFETY RE-ENACTMENT, meant TO EDUCATE. It does not show the actual removal of fingers. If they had set up such an event, to actually remove someone's fingers for the sake of making a film, this would be a seriously evil act, would it not?

    Are you all REALLY this stupid? It is hard to imagine that you are.

  • Wow, I am 11 and I knew this was fake by the scene of the finger cut off, the hand was so fake.

  • oh no !!!!! i really hurt to saw 2:58

  • i was waiting for that part when i saw your comment then i wrote this ot admit that you are so right. *gags*

  • this vid is fake. u could tell by the hand. why didnt u show the missing vingers. maybe u never lost them i littel liar. o wait u not littel i big plum.

  • Its innapropriate on youtube or just this account

  • Its a recreation you moron

  • this seems really fake; don't forget bad acting; she never really shows her hand.

    if i'm wrong i apologize

  • she said she doesnt want anyone to see her hand

  • But whilst it really does seem plausable as an accident, it might not actually be real. There isnt any evidence either way, and does it really matter? Its not really one of those things you can actually avoid, being an accident and all...People dont do this on purpose so these vids are pointless

  • the work scene is a reenactment, hello?

  • OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I would of pasted out

  • its hardly graphic

  • its DEFINITELY graphic.

  • Sadly we live in a world where we need

    warnings on plastic bags stating not to

    place on head because of ppl's

    ignorance and ambulance chasers.

    Four words. Personal responsibility.

    Self awareness.

  • Every teenager starting a job like this should see this video! Thank you!

  • everyone knows not to put there fingers in a moving motor sounds like lack of parenting

  • Daaaaaaaaang this is the first video that is really graphic from this poster. I have had a similar injury and yes-it really looks a lot like that, it brought back memories thanks a lot lol.

  • dont clean a running machine its common sense not the lack of traing

  • ouch that must hurt

  • There woulda been the right precautions if that was AMERICA. Canadians...pffffft. With their free health care, who needs safety right? HAH

  • No, it would happen in America if someone were foolish enough to put their hand in a moving machine. Has nothing to do with being from Canada.

    Goddamn over-nationalist

  • thats fucked up O.o

  • I belive the story but I don't understand why she would of went to clean dough on the rollers without first stopping the machine. This common sense does not need traning and she should not have gotten any settkement over it. She should of used common sense!!! Plain and simple. Its like me Forgetting to my car in park and going to open the trunk and the car rolls backwards on me, and I sue Ford.. Do you think I should win?

  • probably the most scariest reenactment ever

  • BULSHIT

  • there should be a guard on that chain or a warning sticker

  • rofl rose...... that was a reinactment, of yours its plastic... and imc is right, there is a random guy there at 0:54 lol

  • This is real, I was shown this presentation at my School in surrey, BC. This really happened to her, and this video is part of a 17 minute one, that includes 3 other accidents, one being with the guy a 0:54. I go to Ecole Panorama Ridge, and this video is shown to grade 8 and 10 highschool students.

  • Makes me wanna not work no more...

  • - @ Edsta713TX -

    Me too. And I keep watching all the related videos... I work at a large retail hardware store and now I'm practically scared to go back in tomorrow. Most of the machines I work on are capable of doing quite a bit of damage if not resulting in death.

    While I am careful about what I do, others around me may not be so observant.

    Sadly, common sense isn't too common.

  • aw sick but i feel totally bad for you and her

  • I had my right ring finger go through a bike brake rotor. I didn't really feel a thing until I saw my finger. It was mangled and just hanging there. I kinda feel for what she went through. I would have rather had the rest of my finger taken though, it still aches to this day and its been about 8 months.

  • Why's there a pic of some random dude for about 1/10th of a second at 0:54

  • ummmmmmm ouch

  • oh my god. u gotta feel sorry for her!

  • No, I don't. She stuck her hand in moving machinery. Common sense people!

  • Some ppl are stupid and need training... Like don't put hands in there or you lose some fingers... Oh well...

  • is this the real girl it happened to

    cus she has all ten fingers?

    the cut hand looks plastic tbh

    why would you put your hand in a dough roller

    and the mother is a terrible actor

  • we had to watch these in planning in grade 10

  • so did we.

  • the reinactment looked really real.

  • why do people say its fake

    its a reconstuction film dumb ass

    try putin ur fingers in a chain saw

    you'll get the idea

  • so fake

  • A little common sense goes a long way... never reach into a moving machine duh... its nobodys fault but her own

  • Agreed, specially with something so powerful

  • that doesnt mean training is not required though

  • OFC ITS FAKE damn man if there was a camera man with it her fingers wrnt hurt that bad.... since someone was able to push the stop button........ you guys are REALY dumb to be honost......

  • Dude , to be honost the part where the cameraman recorded is a RECONSTRUCTION you dumb fuck , How old are you 8 ? + You call us dumb ? Woow .. you failed right there ..

  • are you retarded?

  • there fake fingers but it did happen it was on the news

  • u wouldnt believe if it wasnt on news???not everything u watch in news is true

  • that is frickin fake

  • its a re-enactment fucktard

  • this is on TV nubs its not the real video but the tried to act it out to tell what happen

  • 1:This is fake you could see she had all of her fingers,she should have done better hiding that hand.

    2:its not the employers fault,you dont stick your hand in a dough roller..thats not lack of training its lack of common sence

  • It doesn't mean she got he fingers cleanly removed at the metacarpals, they were probably partially mangled and the surgeons removed them near the second knuckles. She would obviously be hiding that because she was embarrassed.

    Alternatively, this may have been a staged video to show workers to scare them into being safe on the job. It's actually kind of hard to say. I can see this MAYBE being "fake", but at the least it is a scripted safety video for training purposes.

  • it was a reenactment duhhhh

  • why would you try to clean dough off the drive shaft?? it's filithy with grease already, why bother to clean dough off it??? why go out of ur way just to clean it?????

    EPIC FAIL and PWNED.

  • and you have how many fingers? maybe she didn't know that she shouldnt try to clean it off that part.

  • omg i wud never go near anything that is a danger in a machine

  • LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    OVER EXAGGERATED

    PHAILLL

    FFFFFFFFF Waste of 4 minutes.

  • chains+sprockets= do not insert fingers!

  • look and pause at 0:14 she still has her fingers but when she sai "i dint want anyone to know" she quickly put her hand a little more fowarde admit it.

  • in my school was a boy how lost his hand in a machine the mchine was drilling and he want to change his wood to another place and he slips in the machine and cut of his hand

  • Message: Don't go to work with a hangover and then try to operate another mindless machine.

  • Lol.. When she pull out fingers from that machine, it is like hand of doll.. I now that is a fingers of doll, but I think this wideo is Fake..F A K E!!!xD

  • Why is it so hard to believe that someone can get hurt at work? The girl in the clip not giving the testimony was in a re-enactment (i.e. Not the real thing). I worked with hot grease in a deli and due to a splash of hot grease, the entire right side of my face had second degree burns, but I don't cry about it and I'm able to talk about it, even though my face is scarred over now.

    It's a real story. Get off your high horse and deal with it.

  • its not fake lol look at the ring finger on her right hand at 3:35... y do you people question evrything..

  • WHATEVER! i dont really believe that this is true

  • With slack training I lost 13mm off the end of a finger in a machine with a hidden cable cutting device.

    Initialy I thought I had just trapped it as I felt a pinch but as I pulled my hand away I realised it had cut it cleanly off. It didn't bleed instantly, it was like looking at the end of a swiss roll! But then there was a fountain of blood. I told my newly qualified first-aider mate I had cut myself and he ran off panicing! The hospital couldn't sew it back because the cut was too clean.

  • I didn't quite understand your comment. A clean cut (a slice cut if that is what you meant), is the kind that has the best chance for being reattached. You could sue the hospital if they told you something different.

  • This is really fake. Normally the girl wouldn't be able to even talk about it and i can see it in her eyes that she is talking bullshit ;D Just lol. This video is only warning to get safe workplace.

  • look at her hands she still has her fingers

  • in woodwork in my brothers class they had just sharpened the chizzles and on of the kids slipped and cut his wrist open and they had to call an ambulance for him and he wasnt there for a week

    and in my woodwork class one of the kids let go of his wood and it was on the electric drill and it shattered and we all dived to the ground but before we did one of the peices went flying inbetween me and my friend ( we were talking)drill bits were flying ( im in grade 8 and my brother is in grade 10)

  • She would have to have been SCREAMING.... just SCREAMING.... if her fingers were being severed in the machine like that. Who wouldn't be?!?!?

  • Not necessarily, a Hawaiian girl, Bethany Hamilton got her left arm nipped off by a tiger shark. She didn't scream or anything, being in shock and "not really seeing the point" of screaming.

  • fuck

    poor girl

  • damn that sucks but if you think about it its just common sense don't put your hand into a machine that's moving

  • Lol.100% Fake.

    mucenieks3 right.

  • here is the lesson, dont put your fingers in a machine that can rip them off....very simple.

  • OMG SO FAKE!

  • the storys real... its called a dramatization when they redo what happend.

  • i was in woodshop the other day and my friend was workin on a board next to me with the radial arm saw. he accidently left an iron ruler underneath his wood. it pretty much shattered and a big sharp piece of it flew right past my head and stuck into the wall behind me. it was like a cheap horror movie

  • ugh that is gruesome...

    Remember folks always turn off or unplug machinery if you want to do anything like that.

  • It wasn't fake. The showing of it was fake! You can tell by the hand. But it hapend to her for real!

  • weird theres not even something on the chains:S if the machine gets new oil on the chains the oil would splatter on the roller and on the bread, and i guess there you have the secret ingredient!:P oil?

  • omg thats freakin horrible. she had to reach around to touch the shutoff button

  • I've worked in fast food restaurants a long time. And I know ( in some fast foods ) that you have to be a certain age to use the electric food machines such as the electric slicer, etc.

  • been there, almost done that.

    i was working on a chain that had come loose, and instead of locking out, i put a guy on the controls to make sure no one turned it on since it was going to be a 2 min fix.

    he asked if it was ready, and i said "no, dont turn it on". due to language barrier, i guess he thought i said its good or something, and turned it one...the teeth from the gear nicked my fingers....i was LUCKY!!!!

    this girl....was not.

  • why would she try to clean a moving roller? ...

  • All experianced(older workers) should watch these young adults like a hawk. the work place is full of danger. Unguarded chain = big law suit, not a small settelment.

  • fuck me if that happend me i be scared as shit and i reallly fill sorry for her. it but like a horror movie.
