In the past I worked in the glass business. I would unload the crates of glass off the truck with a crane. The people in the office would know when I was getting a plate glass delivery because they could feel the building shake when I was unloading and putting away the glass. One of my delivery drivers knew a person in his previous job that was crushed to death between two crates of glass.

That one with the 5 guys unloading panels off a truck, I've seen that happen, except with a king sized mattress. The guy who got crushed is some 18 year old kid who's been (proudly) smoking pot since he was 9, walked haphazardly through an active workzone while on his phone. One of the two guys lowering down the mattress looses his grip, the mattress falls, the other 3 people receiving the mattress scream for the 18 year old to get out of the way 1/2.

2 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

The mattress is not only just passing the tipping point making it fall slowly but is also absurdly heavy, and thus falls slowly, everyone backs off to let go because we all know we're not catch it, except this kid, who has the proudest look on his face and puts both hands up ready to catch it. I kid you not, it did not slow when it hit his hands, it fell regardless of him being there. We all jumped into pull this mattress off him 2/3.

2 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Lucky for him, it was at the very least soft so it conformed around his curled up fetal position as it press him into the ground and he came out it unharmed. I'm still yet to get over the fact that him standing with both hands up had no affect on the speed on which it fell, and it was only a somewhat heavy mattress... 3/3

If you think this shit's currently as common in the US as it is in China, you have another thing coming. Lower pay isn't the *only* reason American manufacturing went overseas. Less regulation, safety and otherwise, was a huge part of it. And now that China's *starting* to place more regulations, manufacturers are are heading for poorer nations with less regulations again.

I suppose the point was that everywhere was terrible at some point, and different places have prioritized different parts of that terribleness to fix first. China has a reputation for not valuing human life much, but as far as I know they've come down pretty hard on child labor and are working on worker safety more generally. They still don't give much of a shit about random civilians though.

It continues to be terrible. Friend was working as an apprentice Butcher in Kentucky when he was called in to replace another guy for the day. Other guy was grinding meat when a piece kicked and turned, so he put his hand in to correct it... Apparently some parts of the Human body are tougher than others.

We have a bench drillpress in our workshop, the thing isnt strong enough to do any damage. At full speed you can grab the chuck and it stalls. Great for safety, not so much for strength. But we only do small home jobs so its fine :P

I and another kid were nearly killed by a flying chuck jaw when I was in school. the student using it had backed out the jaws too much so when it started it flew off at 800+ RPM and made a serious dent in the chip guard, I was standing right in the firing line, another kid was standing opposite, a bit higher and it would have hit him in the head, a bit later and it would have hit me.

When I talk shop safety in my makerspace, I refer to one where a guy was feeling the finish on a part he turned on a lathe. I think he was wearing gloves and a long sleeved shirt, and he got caught while it was still turning. The guy weighed A LOT less than the part on the lathe. I refer to that as the "human fruit rollup" as he got wrapped around the part a few times.

We have 2 locations, and one has a small benchtop Enco 9x20 that weighs maybe 70 pounds/32 kilos, and I tell people that using it improperly means cuts and maybe broken bones, but the 16x40 at the other location is stronger than your joints and the muscles and skin holding your arm to your body.
