OMG the memories came flooding back. When I was about 5-6 my grandma was teaching me to fish the clothes out of the rinse water for her to grab and put thru the wringer washer. You guessed it. She got her hand caught in the wringer it went thru to the wrist and she hit that thing on the top and it reversed and ran her hand back out. No breaks just sore for a long time. I never went near that washer again.
