She kneads help, stat.

Small pie, hand tossed crust...hold the hand.

Mmmm, extra anchovy.

D'oh!

"now that's what I call a sticky situation"

I wander if she was the saucy type?

If you did that, you'd get pulled into the machine too

Where's the farker who said Australia is the 'Florida' of continents?
We need you, sir.

I knew a guy once that worked in an optician's that had an embarrassing on-the-job accident.

He fell into the lens grinding machine and made a spectacle of himself.

Paramedics were called to the York Road premises in Penrith at 8.45pm (AEDT) last night to find the seven-year-old girl's arm trapped in a pizza dough machine.

Would anybody like to tell me why a seven year old kid was near a pizza dough machine at 8:45pm? Does Australia have child-labor laws?

Looks like there wasn't mushroom in that machine.

People will do ANYTHING for free pizza these days.

I guess her sharp knees saved her

Can save her in 44 minutes, plus commercials.

The dough machine is pretty strong; the pizza place I worked for back in the day had very strict policies on who could operate it. None of the rest of us were allowed near it.

On a serious note, they can probably roll her back into shape in no time at all, but she's likely to have a long term problem with a desire to be covered with pepperoni and mushrooms.

So child labor is allowed in Australia?

7 Years old? WTF was she even doing near the thing?

I used to manage a couple pizza joints. TFA doesn't say if this "pizza dough machine" is a mixer or a sheeter -- two totally different things. But I suspect the latter. You don't get 'stuck' in a mixer, it just rips your arm off and then you're free and it keeps going like nothing happened. But a small child could conceivably get their arm stuck in a sheeter. An adult would just get their hand horribly crushed.

A restaurant kitchen is no place for a child. Or even a lot of adults.

/hotter than a brick-oven pizza

3 Oompa Loompas were seen leaving the scene, muttering about the Taffy puller being down and not being held responsible.

Having grown up in a pizzeria, I knew just by looking that I didn't want to fark with that thing. The big-ass hook was my first clue.

"The girl was then taken to Westmead Children's Hospital in a serious condition." A serious condition indeed.

Check for yeast infection.

A guy I know fell into an upholstery machine at work. It's ok now, he's fully recovered.

A crazy idea I know, but apparently some pizza shops are family businesses and sometimes parents have inadequate supervision of their children. Also, many pizza shops open at night because that's a popular time of day to eat pizza. I dunno, it might catch on outside Australia; maybe they should try opening pizza shops in the US at night. Let me know how that works out.

Cosmic Crab: Check for yeast infection.

I'll leave that up to you..

This reminds me of the time a workmate fell into a crucible of molten steel, we had to push him under with the pole kept for such situations, instead of trying to save him.

He made a toast-rack of himself.

Hah! Fun times! Almost as funny as the lens-grinding machine joke!

Good thinking, the resulting lawsuit would have cast you into the pits.

Dough!

Oh come on, is no one going to rise to the occasion?

And the snark warhead gloriously detonates off target..

You people are sick! This little girl clearly was in pain...can't you have some compas.....nope. I tried. I really tried. Couldn't keep a straight face while typing...

Here's an idea.. keep seven year olds away from large, mangly, industrial appliances.

Wow. A buddy of mine once lost his whole left side once in an auto accident. Now he's all right.

Slug2468: D'oh!

D'ough!

I did it myself when I was about 19. I dont think I ever screamed so loud in my whole life. Never got past the fingers. Can't even imagine a whole arm.

Someone kneads to be sued.

There is a lot of restaurant equipment that could be used in a Saw movie. The slicer alone......*shudder*

Why don't they just eat her out?

I'm glad she received treatment as I'm sure she couldn't raise the dough to pay for treatment herself.

Look people...give the subby his/her dues...

+1, Would LOL again!

Probably the dumbass parents who let it happen, thus keeping the pizzeria from realizing their full profits from the night.

Gah, people can trap themselves in the weirdest things.

Wait, a 7 year old?

Ain't they got some kind of child labor laws down under?

/or was it some co-worker's little brat running around?

I submitted this with a worse headline.

/I salute you subby

/can save the economy, cure cancer, and cure whatever's ailing chuck norris so he can save the world in 44 minutes....plus commercials.

Linto: Why don't they just eat her out?

You should be ashamed sir.

/chuckle
//ashamed of self

Hope they ordered stuffed crust.

It doesn't actually say it was in a pizza shop. Just that the paramedics arrived at the "premises." Maybe it's a household who just really loves pizza!
