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.
whacked by big object is bad. Tight-space-conveyor-grinds-man-into-paste... that aint a fast death... that's the Blade-subway-face-mush but much much slower
Agreeing with you. As it is, it’s not much worse than Loony Toons violence, which I _think_ isn’t considered mature. Needs more blood or boobies to be rate as mature.
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.
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.
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
You have to remember that these are people who believe in their own supremacy. And prosperity gospel. So people who have accidents deserved to have them, and they are immune, because they're superior... so it's okay to use stale fiberglass for an unregulated, unrated submarine well beyond what any of its components can reliably withstand. And after it goes wrong, their friends will *still* double down that they were right.
And it was unions, not companies suddenly growing a conscience, that made OSHA a reality. People fought and actually died for us to have safe workplaces.
We basically had to learn the hard way. Which makes me think of the invention of the hard hat. Developed by during the hoover dam construction. Workers tar/glued 2 leather hats together. The tar also served as harding material for the leather, i think. Again, no help from the construction owners or managing team.
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.
Didn't say it's as common as it is in China (always Cheena ain't it?). I contend it is still common. Quick, name three agencies the GOP will eliminate when they take the White House next year. EPA, DOJ, and OSHA.
Chemical safety bureau videos often have a litany of lethal faults the company knew about or even deliberately created and then refused to fix to save money.
"Used to be like"? While it has (thankfully) improved, things like this still happen in this country. Check out the USCSB videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@USCSB. Plenty of corner cutting still around.
Oh, absolutely. But while it is better, there is still room for improvement. Sadly there is no shortage of amoral scum who will risk lives to save a buck. At least, someone other persons life.
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.
I don't think they even needed to spend the money on animation with all the live action they could splice together and make the most epic safety video the horror community has ever experienced
Yes I'm sure if someone posted one of those links you would abstain from viewing it. Surely your curiosity wouldn't get the better of you. Isn't that right *checks username* AnalFistingPornstarLegendWolverine?
There's a difference in looking at something horrible that's placed in front of you and seeking it out. And while I enjoy horror content as much as the next person, Faces of Death isn't horror, it's snuff. Dry, unentertaining, narrative-free deaths of real people who probably wouldn't consent to me metaphorically getting off to their tragedy.
We scold the CCP a lot, as we well should, but can you imagine the videos that never got recorded in the era industrial America and Europe prior to Upton Sinclair and those of the like? I'm sure it was terrible.
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. And yeah, he was 17, working alone, with a machine that had a disconnect in the next room around the corner.
I've seen IRL. In woodshop class in school, a girl with long hair didn't want to put the hair in a ponytail. Because it would mess up her hair. Then one day while working in a drill press...
I've DONE the drill press thing. It was a small piece luckily, so it only mangled my hand a bit. Secure your shit when you're working with rotating machinery
One of the first times I used a lathe I forgot to remove the chuck key before starting. If the safety barrier hadn't been there that thing would have been lodged in my face.
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
Saw it happen, with a really lucky SOB. He got clear of the work piece, but it had enough momentum to bash a hole in the wall. I've also seen a lathe throw a chuck key hard enough to dent a shop door.
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.
I had a coworker get the first section of his finger chopped off while clearing chips from the cutter on a lathe. The day before he told me to not do that. Now I use pliers to clear birds nests.
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. I bet that was a heck of a lesson for your friend.
