I ran a plant in Alabama back in the 80s. We had line boring machines with many drill bits to bore a line of holes for shelves. One day a well endowed woman leaned over the spinning bits and they grabbed her t-shirt. Fortunately it was a cheap t-shirt and it ripped off of her body.

She ran from the plant screaming, “Don’t look at my titties.”

Of course every man in the plant did just that.

Damn, I was in my office doing paperwork.
I learned that day to spend more time on the shop floor.

My dad and I were digging postholes and he always wore overalls. As I turned the power up (turning the driveshaft faster) his clothing got caught in the rotating shaft. Luckily I was watching and got on the clutch just in time as it pulled him to the driveline. If it had been another second his privates would have been wrapped around the driveshaft. We had to cut his cloths off of him. Rotating machinery is very dangerous. Charlie Danies (of The Devil Came Down to Georgia) was digging some postholes and got wrapped up in the auger. It broke his arm in several places. It could well have killed him. He said the guys working with him had to unwrap his macccerated arm from its being wrapped around the auger.
