Oh boy. Tools getting mistreated, gawddamn. Working for the California Conservation Corps, I saw tools regularly getting the absolute gently caress beat out of them.One kid managed to bend a digging bar by trying to move a rock with it, pure idiot strength. They're pretty cheap, all things considered, but we regularly used the wrong tools for jobs. Pulaskis are not for cutting firewood, but nobody told my C1 that so it wasn't until we had snapped six or seven handles that our C2 finally bought a goddamn splitting maul. Slamming wedges with double jacks is a very effective way to turn your wedges into advant garde plastic flowers. Chainsaw chains would be used til at least two of the teeth had snapped off, meaning saws regularly failed from sheer overstress. Also sending porta potties flying off the road because lmao, who needs a cotter pin? After some poor civilian narrowly avoided death by poo poo on wheels, did our C2 finally buy some goddamn cotter pins. The center so loving stingy that at one point the Admin officer, an old white lady who was a 100% bitch, refused to buy toilet paper. After the fourth time they called a plumber to snake out pipes clogged with paper towels did it finally occur to her that it would end up costing the center a shitload more money if a building flooded with backed up sewage.

I know some stuff about welding, but I'm not a welder. What level of intervention, if any, should I be engaging in to stop my boomer coworker from using an oxyacetylene torch about two feet away from puddles of vegetable oils?

Tell him that you want to get rich with viral videos and ask him to torch one of the puddles.

Cartoon Man posted:https://i.imgur.com/bc0mUtb.gifv There's a great documentary on Prime (Hitting the Apex) about it, one of the riders featured races 48hrs after surgery for a collarbone fracture. Shockingly, even though there are a fair few injuries, the last death in MotoGP racing was back in 2011. Premier motorsports leagues have gotten pretty obsessed with driver/rider safety and have pretty good modern records there. The real insanity is the Isle of Man TT: Racer fatalities by year for it:  https://i.imgur.com/FbhTAbU.mp4 https://imgur.com/gallery/Ts58TGp

ATP_Power posted:The real insanity is the Isle of Man TT: It is worth noting that, iirc, most of the fatalities at the Isle of Man TT are not professional racers, but random idiot amateurs who are allowed to ride the closed course on the day before the race using whatever motorcycle and equipment they brought. Of course some professionals do still die because the race is absolutely insane and stupid. A big reason that MotoGP doesn't have more casualties is because the wide open tracks give plenty of room for a crashing rider to slide and bounce and tumble and dissipate their energy safely. Most of the Isle of Man course is a 2-or-fewer-lane country road with stone walls on either side. e: yeah, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Isle_of_Man_TT_Mountain_Course_fatalities shows for instance that in 2005 there were 9 fatalities, but 6 of those were in the amateur race, and of the 3 in the main event one was during practice.

Slide, yes. Tumbling is what causes injuries as that’s when your limbs try and come off.

Is it dangerous to try to pry free a big metal object that might be holding back thousands of pounds of air pressure?

It might be safer not to screw with it, alternatively you can use the opportunity to generate views on imgur, you might winding up on the front page. It would be better if it were in a field but that's not something you can rectify while it's stuck in there

Yeah, I expected that to end with someone getting their face blasted off when it popped free. Even if it didn't break the tire there's a lot of elastic force there.

In so called "normal" events, when someone dies, they end the event, and try to improve safety next year. Tracks that constantly kill racers or spectators are closed by local authorities for ever. Naturally the 3/4 swastika island doesn't give a gently caress.
