The worst one I ever heard about was while I was at a potato processing plant in Idaho where they make McDonald's hashbrowns.
After the potatoes are peeled and washed they are run through a pipe with blades to slice the potatoes into french fries. These blades are sharpened with lasers and are insanely sharp because they need to cut a lot of potatoes before being changed.
One day they were shutdown and it was time to change the blades. The lady doing the change placed the new blades on the table and bumped the table when she turned to grab a wrench from her toolbox. The new blades started to fall and she instinctively reached out to grab them to prevent them from falling to the floor.
She ended up not grabbing anything because the blades sliced her fingers clean off. They took her to the hospital and due to the blades extreme sharpness, the cut was so clean reattachment was a pretty easy procedure. I don't know if she had any long-term negative effects from the incident.
Safety is important, be aware of your surroundings and don't instinctively grab things you shouldn't be touching in the first place.
