Oh YES! I worked as a power machine operator for many years. When you put a needle into your finger in the factory, you were considered a real honest to goodness operator. About every 8 to 10 months, someone would do that. I worked in a shirt factory for some time. The lady that put in buttonholes got her finger stuck. That machine is automatic. Once it starts, the cycle will complete. After the stitching is done, the knife comes down. She had no choice but to sit and dread the thing to finish. She came back to work the next day. I will never forget her.:(
