I think rather than your palm you need to use the fleshy lump at the base of your thumb. That's if a lump of wood isn't handy.
Still haven't takedn those picks have I? Later for sure.
Anyway, this accident had nothing to do with the chuck coming unscrewed from the lathe.anne-maria.

Some 30 years ago I had a 6 ft diam. piece come off the lathe when I turned it off. It ran across the shed and partly through the corrugated iron where it eventually wedged itself after it finally stopped spinning on the spot for about 10 seconds (seemed like many minutes). Scared the living daylights out of me.
Have seen a chuck explode and embed itself in the roof of a shed and another do a similar trick during a turning demo at Cranbourne a number of years ago. can vouch for that one. Both were from extending the jaws too far out of the chuck.
Had a few big bowl pieces leave the lathe during roughing-out on old style screw chucks (prior to the amazing and much copied Glaser Thread - below) Bit too heavy handed on the tools. Didn't like to dawdle.

PS I said 6 ft diam. because it was 6 ft not a metric size. Mahogany table top that needed an extremely complex (turned) molded edge prior to carving. Needed a match after it came off the lathe but was saved and looked amazing when finished.
