I'm not sure what the tool is called but babies quite often suffer injuries from it's use. Usually ears are ripped off if something slips.

It's real. And accidental decapitations, while rare, do occasionally happen.

Medical negligence, birth injuries, emotional distress. An Aurora, Illinois woman has filed a lawsuit sounding in negligence against a hospital and physician for birth injuries and wrongful death of her child, as well as for painful emotional injuries following the decapitation of her baby during delivery. The lawsuit alleges that her physician failed to provide pre-natal care that complied with the standard of care, and that the hospital and physician failed to properly attend to her and to her unborn child after the onset of pre-term labor while she was hospitalized. The lawsuit alleges that a cerclage, which had been surgically attached, was inadvertently left in place during active labor. The lawsuit seeks damages for the injuries and death of the child during the delivery, as well as the emotional injuries suffered by the mother, after the mother terrifyingly witnessed her baby’s “incidental decapitation” (as stated by the physician in hospital records) during delivery.

my aunt worked as a nurse, she sometimes told us about that happening from time to time. Sometimes the mothers die because of the rotting fetus infecting her.
