WTF....
That sucks...
I wouldn't get to critical though... Yes, stupid mistake... But we all do stupid stuff from time to time, and usually walk away unharmed, but its possible for stuff to happen to anybody...

I remember one time thinking that I would just put my bike in gear and spray some lube on the chain while it sat there idling on the stand. Soon as I put it in gear, I took one look at that thing spinning like a buzz-saw and just said Hell-No and shut it off.
This guy lubes the chain and then sticks his hand up there with a rag??? Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb.
At least he takes responsibility and posts up as a warning to others.

Having taught Vocational Automotives for 34 years before retiring, I could go on for days with stupid things students have done (and yes, sometimes me too) that resulted in injury or damage to the vehicle. Quite often these incidents happened after I said "Don't ......" fill in the blank.
And the average age of my students was usually early 30s.

I watched a buddy of mine acidentally cut his finger off with bicycle chain when we were kids. After pulling his chain back on the sprocket, after it came off, he reached down to check the tension on the chain while we were pedling away and bam it sucked his finger into the front sprocket.

A mechanic, that worked at a Honda dealer with a good friend of mine back in the 70s, lost 2 fingers when he was dirt riding. His countershaft sprocket was slipping off, so he reached down to push it back on while riding.
If I recall correctly his last name was Lachardi, and they called him Three Finger Lachardi after that.
