Your car. A two ton hunk of metal capable of reaching speeds of over 100mph, that can disintegrat humans on contact. And they are everywhere, some being driven by utter morons who pay the bare minimum of attention while doing so.

1939 Sheldon 56″ metal lathe. It was built before they invented safety. It will happily rip your arm clean off then slap you in the face repeatedly with your own arm.

I am a vet who helps people say goodbye to their pets at home. I work out of my own home, and at any time have enough [medical substances] on hand to kill a half dozen horses. Locked in a safe that’s in a safe in a locked cabinet in a locked room.

1927 chainsaw. Not a single safety feature on that thing. It scares people just sitting there, not running.

I have cutting gloves. I love some low effort julienne veggies.
