Several years ago, I lived in a house in Texas with two roommates- oh, and we didn’t have AC. We all had ceiling fans in our rooms.
Kade had a ceiling fan which was mounted a bit low- it was just over the top of his head… and it had metal blades. Since we didn’t have AC, he kept it running full blast.
Well, one morning he got up out of bed and stretched, forgetting about the fan. His arms went straight up into the blades… and all he got was a nasty knock and a few welts. Didn’t even cut the skin.
For those wondering – no, you don’t thrust your hand right up into fast-moving blades, even if they are blunt and wooden. You edge up your slack hand just so your fingertips are brushing back against the moving blades. You can slow the blades this way, and at a slow enough speed, you can just reach up a little more and grab a blade.
Oh, heck yes, that would work. Your head would pop right off. And I really hope your hands would stay attached to your shaven head, leaving you dangling holding your head as you planned. Only, 'cause I’ve never seen a person do this, I can’t guarantee the SuperGlue would hold. Maybe your palms would pop right off your head. Maybe the skin of your palms would stay on your head, and your flesh would rip right through your hands - kinda doubt it; hands are pretty strong stuff and, because they’re so multiply jointed, there’s a lot of places to dissipate energy. But I’m afraid the Super Glue would give way, and leave you like, well, like a couple of people I have seen, who came in with head in a sack and body in a bag.
Yeah. When it has been judged. And although I didn’t do the autopsy, I was there; and our system has a firm policy against discussing cases in public until the court system has made them public.
You do realize your criminal proceedings are open to the public?
When my BIL was installing our bedroom ceiling fan, the blades whaked him in the head a few times. He said it just felt like being hit with a thick piece of cardboard.
The thing never has worked right since.
