Angry The Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

My brother was the lead man in a food processing warehouse. He assigned a young man with shoulder length hair to work on the glue machine. It glues the bottoms and tops of card boad boxes sealing in the contents in the box. The young man was working alone in the back of a warehouse. Evidently one of the boxes got stuck (it happens on occassion) and the guy tried to get it unstuck. He didn't shut off the machine (as taught). His long hair got caught in the gears of the machine and pulled his scalp off. The youngman bled to death. When he didn't show up for lunch my brother went back to get him and found him dead. The plant was shut down the rest of the day. The next day all the fellows who had long hair before had gone and got short hair cuts.
