Did you hear about the man who fell into an upholstery machine?
He's fully recovered.

That had me in stitches!
Good to know. Industrial accidents can often prove fatal or result in life-changing injuries.
Best wishes to the man involved and his family

Pleased for him.

I look nothing like him!
Did he suffer any physical injuries, or maybe psychological? I'm glad he's back to normal now. Did it happen at work?
I hope he hasn't got PTSD after this, (Poxy threadbare sofa damage).

Always nice to hear a good news story. Hopefully the owners of the machine will add precautions such as an auto stop function.
BTW, next time you see the guy, point out that his recovery sounds like a play on words. It almost sounds as if he was re-covered in the way sofas and chairs can be. It might put a smile on his face and aid his road to full fitness.

Hope his stools are ok as well.
Is he related to the optician? You know - the one who fell into the lens-grinding machine. He made a right spectacle of himself.
The fact that he is recovered implies that he had previously been upholstered, which as noted above is no laughing matter as the HSE obviously didn’t review the original accident report property, otherwise a proper risk assessment would have prevented it occurring again. I think it’s curtains for that company.

What you’ve done there, is in an otherwise reasonable post, accidentally made what could be taken as a pun in your final sentence. By inadvertently choosing the phrase “I think it’s curtains”, readers may be confused into thinking you were making another play on words based on fabric. I’m sorry if you feel stitched up by this post.

Yes at last a good feel story in this world of doom and gloom of ours.
I think you may be a bit too hung up and worrying yourself too much about this being a recurring incident. There is nothing in the original post to say that this was a second accident. Simply replacing the man's initial / born with covering would be 'recovering' - yes, a second recovering would also be termed 'recovering', but I can't see any indication that this is what was happening here. I don't think there's any cause for the company to be on pins and needles with regard to their security.

I heard he was left with a Curved Back and two Rolled Arms.
