I wish they would issue bulletins like this to automotive service shops on a regular basis to remind techs of the dangers of working around equipment.
I won't stand near a car while someone is listening to wheel bearing noise on the rack because I am afraid rocks might come out of the tires, I am paranod of any moving belts because while they don't often break, all it takes is once, or something fallen into it and getting slung back out at ya.
When I went back to Ford I had to get used to being around engine-driven fans again.

My tire guy will still balance tires on the vehicle he tells a story about a tape weight flying off of a wheel spinning about 65 MPH. and hitting him in the gut. left a bruise that was simmilar to what hes seen from bean bag bullets use for riot control.
Rotating shafts and electric arcs are something i have always been Leary of.
