Only to suddenly realize that no, this wasn't a bruise.
The spike was legitimately impaling my arm.
The first thing I did was stop the machine.
Then I started screaming.
I honestly didn't feel any pain at the time.
I was so shocked by what was happening.
The problem with the mixer is that none of the parts except the bottom plate was detachable.
So it was completely welded unit.
I was essentially pinned in this machine and absolutely could not be freed without assistance.
Anyway, emergency services were called.
They wound up shutting down the whole block while the firefighters stood around looking at me with equal parts amazement and judgment.
Because on one hand, this machine is unique.
None of them have seen it before.
And on the other, what kind of dumbass sticks their arm in a moving machine?
What are you going to do?
Don't beat yourself up.
