Actually that was Rick (I think is last name is Campo) the main sheet metal fabricator. His glove got caught on the steel then the drill bit bit into the piece and wraped his glove and the piece of steel around the drill bit. Chewed his hand up pretty good. It doesn't take very long for stuff to happen to get you hurt.

I was installing a steel door from my basement to the garage and the Phillips bit in the drill slipped off the screw and I drove it right into my leg. Bled like a stuck hog for about 20 minutes and ruined a fairly new pair of jeans, but it hurt my pride more than anything. I was just bragging to a buddy of mine that stopped by that it had been YEARS since I had done something stupid like that!!!! LOL KARMA, its a killer!
