Winching goes wrong

Winching can be a dangerous practice and must be undertaken with care. Luckily no one was hurt when this winching operation went wrong.

When things at work go wrong, they can really cause trouble!!
My work mate was waiting on a tool change to be done on one of the injection machines. The lad who was doing the tool change got called away in the last final stages. he came back and said to my work mate its good to go.
With in seconds of that I heard a massive bang that went though my floor mat and into me! Those tools weigh about 3 ton plus! The place had to chance their policy, if a setter is working on a tool change and line has a problem, they have to finish the tool change. Rather than just leaving it and getting the line back up as quickly and coming back to finish the job.
he was lucky mind we have guards etc if that had come down on him, it would have been game over. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it!
