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 baby brother did something similar by just dragging it out as far as he could with his ~2ft body, stretching out from fingertips to toes.
He ended up slashing his cheek, chest, leg, and... the "locomotive interdigial webbing" between his big and index (?) toe. The stains were still there in the carpet when we moved out nearly a decade later, and now my feet feel uncomfortable.
Good lord that's gruesome. Glad I wasn't told that story as a child or I'd never go near the mutilation traps. Reading the replies to my comment have not helped me lol.
