I mean the chances are pretty high that at some point working with tools you're gonna get bit. All the caution and protective measures are there to a) minimize the chances and b) reduce the severity of injury. That said, deliberately touching the danger bits of an operating tool is just dumb... and entirely on-brand for Sam. The sad truth is there are plenty of people out there you just can't warn enough. Until they do a stupid thing and get hurt, the warnings just won't seem real. And unfortunately Sam's curiosity has a tendency to outpace her self preservation instincts. At least now she knows 'don't touch running tools'. Hopefully.
rtmq0227:
I was about to reply that we're all overreacting and that a band-aid and some discretion from Sam will probably prevent this from becoming much of an issue. Jim's used to her getting covered in snake bites and such, is this that much worse?
Then I remember who Sam is. She's going to basically stick this under Jim's nose and be all "Look at how gross it is!"
*sigh*

Poor Sam. Ripping off a fingernail doesn't even leave any nifty scars to show off.
If Jim forbids Sam from working at Union Robotics because of this, he'll be making a mistake. Forbidding your kid to practice a marketable skill she's passionate about because of a superficial injury is cowardly. If my parents had done so the first time I needed stitches, I wouldn't be studying mechanical engineering right now.

It won't be a case of Jim forbidding Sam to going to Union Robotics, it'll be the "what the hell" he levels at Faye. It might be a ripped off fingernail, but its also an injury that occured in the workplace. We don't know what the insurance policy is for UR, so that's a whole mess of potential trouble right there.

The worst part of all this is Corpse Witch was right.
