There's a nice developed argument about the loving airplane parachutes right here, in a thread specifically for it. Go there. Private recreational aircraft wordfights are neither OSHA nor .jpg http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3663107 Anhydrous ammonia is, though!!  2005 incident posted:An internal non-code weld had weakened the shell of an anhydrous ammonia nurse tank causing the tank to rupture. The full, pressurized tank was propelled across the facility yard narrowly missing bulk agricultural chemical tanks and buildings as it flew. The tank came to rest approximately 250 feet away after first splitting a tractor in half. An extensive cloud of ammonia vapor drifted away from all major populated areas although some nearby residents were treated for exposure. This tank was manufactured in 1973.

My dad would occasionally dispense OSHA-type advice to my brother and I as we were growing up, often completely out of the blue. Classics included: "I don't wear a wedding ring, because if you wear a wedding ring and you're working with machinery, if it gets caught in the mechanism it'll chew your entire arm off before someone can hit the emergency stop." "Compressed air can go through your skin and give you an embolism. I don't want to ever catch you messing around with compressed air." "Don't trust scaffolders. Scaffolding is one of the few trades you can learn inside prison." Despite owning one, he also has a deep distrust of Yankee screwdrivers. It was more off-limits than the various air rifles scattered around the house.

My dad makes cabinetry (hobby turned into business) and collects antique hand-tools (and actually uses them). I remember he had a couple of these and being fascinated with them. Only took one time to pinch the gently caress out of my hand and I no longer even want to look at one.

Might post this one here. A truck carrying 56 tons of ammonium nitrate (and, y'know, diesel since it's a long haul truck) rolled and caught fire. A pair of passers-by called the fire brigade, and an off duty cop who saw the sirens tagged along to help. The two passers by got the truckie out of the burning truck before the emergency service personnel arrived. The 4 fire fighters were trying to put the fire out to stop the They didn't make it, the cargo exploded.   (I think that's the remains of the truck on the left)  Of the 8 people present: one passer-by and the cop were treated by ambulances, 2 firefighters were sent to a base hospital for treatment of minor burns, the other 2 firefighters were sent to a regional hospital for more serious burns and are still there, and 2 (the driver and the other passer-by) were airlifted to Brisbane and are miraculously still alive, but you wouldn't call it living. source Captain Postal fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Sep 7, 2014 |

How do those screwdrivers work? I'm guessing you push down and it works like a drill? Neat idea

Ur Getting Fatter posted:If u think about it if a worker wants to do a sweet kickflip over an arc flash without proper PPE then who are we to stop the invisible hand of the free market? Make sure to film it at 4k or better, like 300 frames per second and just before the arc starts doves are released and fly away past the camera at the apogee of the flip.

Birds cause a couple of different problems. One of those is streamers, where they basically take a crap, and the stream of crap causes a flashover on the power line (between phases or ground). The other problems are nesting around insulators, or flying between lines and exploding. Here's a video of a bird exploding on a power line. I can't tell if it's multiple birds, or the bird is blown into multiple pieces.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvIf9Q6uLj0 Sometimes they build nests in odd but relatively benign places... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbmjtoQLvKs Three-Phase fucked around with this message at 02:48 on Sep 7, 2014 |

I was recently at a facility that had an air compressor or water blaster and amongst the warnings was a pretty large sign that you should never ever point it towards any part of your body. Must have had enough pressure to cut body parts off or fill them up with water in a very short period. Have we already had the x-ray photographs of the guy who accidentally spray painted his hand?
