first year I worked at duPont, a guy with a pony tail got it hung up in a screw conveyor -> was SUPPOSED to be tied up in a hair net UNDER his hard hat -> but you know how that goes...

pulled a big chunk of his scalp off....bled like a stuck pig until we wrapped a tourniquet around his neck...

tourniquet comment was joke...but he did bleed like a stuck pig.

ambulance crew said that the only thing he was worried about was 'is my hair going to grow back'

He really needed to worry about whether his brain would regain function.
