LifeSunDeath posted:We had a radiological canister show up in the hospital rehab-gym once, some transport person left it in the pocket on the back of this wheel chair...so the tech pulls this thing out, is like "what is this???", and it's like a tungsten tube with radioactive hazard symbols on it...I'm like "DROP AND RUN!" and I get really freaked out, trying to argue with people to leave the gym right loving now. Turns out it was whatever they use to house dyes for nuclear stress tests or something...then the tech went ahead and cracked it open and it was empty. I had just read that story from Brazil about those dudes taking apart that chemo machine and I freaked the hell out (thanks chemistry thread). In their case, not playing with the stuff glowing blue wouldve been a good plan

I used to watch wwf pay perviews with my brothers and cousins and stuff for the longest time in the early 2000s and we used to take bets on which match the mexican announcer's table would get smashed.

I saw someone lose half the skin on their hand when they put it down on a transfer plate at UPS. It wasn't ripped off per se but it took enough damage that it had to be excised and skin grafted.

I'm also super duper triggered by hand injuries  Not enough to avoid threads like this, but holy poo poo, nightmare fuel. I rented from a married couple for a while, and they both had tattooed wedding rings. She worked in a microbiology lab, and he was a carpenter, so neither of their professions let them wear rings. I understood why you're not allowed to wear jewelry in the lab because I'm a former lab rat myself, but I had to ask what was so dangerous about rings and carpentry.He showed me a bunch of photos of degloved fingats  Welp. That explained it right quick.

It's good to know I'm not the only one made super uncomfortable by hand injuries. Just yesterday my spouse's palm got scratched by one of our cats and I could barely help them take care of it. It's better than it used to be, but just the idea of my hand bleeding can cause a panic attack some days. Watching The Shape of Water in theaters was real rough.

No, I don't watch to close ups of eyeballs, I definitely don't want to see people touch their eyeballs, nor do I want to see horrific things happen to them. I also refuse to wear contacts and wear glasses instead. Got a small shard of metal stuck in my eye when I was like 15, pretty sure that is what started the whole thing.

I don't have a particular aversion to eye or hand injuries, although I am careful about my own. I'm super careful in caring for my contacts, and apparently do well enough with it that optomerists have told me they wouldn't know I wear contacts if they were just going from examining my eyes. That said, I tend to get a little shudder whenever I read "degloved." It's such an innocuous-looking term until you know what it means.

Is there a peg or flattened surface or something to prevent that from rolling in case it's dropped? stump collector posted:Home grown OSHA. I imagine this is going to be some nightmare fuel for me as the full story comes out. I suspect it's one of those sorting belts that got jammed and they told someone to unclog it without turning off the machines, and that guy didn't have a detachable prosthetic leg that they could collect after the machine grabbed it and yanked it clear through

Wasabi the J posted:Strange, I thought Russians were usually on the giving end of air disasters. lol this dork He calls the operators' actions the ultimate cause. The ultimate cause was cheap, insufficient cables, with cheap, insufficient maintenance. The proximate cause was the actions of the operators, which was likely motivated by fear for their jobs if they made a wrong call. He also says that the addition of an E stop on the enable panel makes the accident impossible to repeat. If the ride still automatically drops at the top instead of waiting for a command to release, then no, the addition of another emergency stop button does not prevent this from happening again.

I was climbing a ladder recently and I thought, "what would the OSHA IV thread do?" and immediately took off my ring. I'm not degloving myself, no sir! In recent gross news, a boil burst on one of the animals necks. It's a giant pus filled boil about 2cm in diameter and just as tall. Cleaning that was nasty. Blood is fine. Purulent discharge? Ew no thanks.

Platystemon posted:Yeah , is it not conceivable that there are circumstances in which cutting the power semi‐permanently is not the right move? One thing you learn when going to Disney and Universal theme parks a lot is just how much safer and more competent they are with their ride design than common amusement parks. Every ride that doesn't give the operators full view of what's going on (especially dark rides) has tons of night vision security cameras so they can watch the ride vehicles at all points, and there's countless sensors and other automatic safety features that will immediately stop the entire ride if someone jumps out or drops a large enough item into a dangerous position (like dropping a camera onto the track). They have virtually unlimited resources from a theme park perspective, so they can afford to be this kind of excessive at the cost of more maintenance and a higher risk of stoppages. On the contrary, at Six Flags in Georgia I once saw a boat on Monster Mansion get overloaded with obese guests to the point that it sank as soon as it left the loading ramp and got stuck. As soon as they got the passengers off, they just restarted the ride. I also saw a kid bounce his basketball into the out-of-service vehicle area on the Hanson Cars and just run right across the track to get it without anyone seeming to even notice.

I've debated working at a local theme park as a mechanic just as a fun summer job for a year, but then I think about the inevitable 'whaddya mean we're all out of [correct part]? Well fine just go to the hardware store and get [unapproved part]. The ride must go on!' and I realize that I don't want to be near that

A high-speed train derailed in Italy the 6th. https://mobile.twitter.com/emergenzavvf/status/1225327865304100864 Railway Gazette posted:Having accelerated after joining the Milano – Bologna high speed line, the train was travelling at 292 km/h when it derailed at 05.34. It seems someone hosed up in a major way. It seems maintenance didn't follow procedure, but it also sounds incredibly irresponsible that the interlocking assumes everything is a-ok if you disconnect the point detectors. Railway Gazette posted:According to local media, initial investigations suggested that a facing turnout leading from the southbound high speed track into sidings used as an infrastructure maintenance base had been incorrectly set. One report added that this had not been detected by the train control system as the power supply to the turnout had been disconnected. https://www.railwaygazette.com/high-speed/frecciarossa-1000-derails-at-high-speed/55737.article
