over 30 years ago I heard a story (no idea if it's true or not) about a guy who just let the tape measure reel itself back in and it spun around and sliced through his finger to the bone like a paper cut.

I've been so paranoid around those things ever since hearing that. This video made me uncomfortable. Great impression though.

My sister and I once fought over a tape measure as kids. She let go and it really did slice through like half my finger. Fun time explaining this at the hospital.
