Actually talking with the workers and meeting their demands is the most OSHA recommendation I can give.

Did not see that coming

I once a similar thing kind of happen to a truck fuckler, but with more force. The rear door of his trailer didn't lock properly to open position, I think because he was being lazy and didn't go to the side to secure it, he just pushed it to make it swing to the side perpendicular to the trailer. It was really windy so the unlocked door soon swang back to his way. He immediately pushed it back, unaware that a car was passing the truck from the front, and the timing was just perfect so that the trailer door blasted right back hitting his noggin, fortunately just his helmet fell off and not his head, but he was still in heavy pain. The side mirror of the passing car also fell off.

Pickled Tink: Apr 28, 2012; Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.

Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.; Fun Shoe

So, uh, spoilers, but later he chops off the tip of a finger, and instead of humbly accepting that he should have been more careful and safety conscious all along, he goes on this rant about how "the world is too safe today" and "children should learn by chopping off more fingers" and "my only regret is that I have but ten fingers to give to the cause". And this goober takes volunteers to work for him for weeks on end! At the time he was even talking about taking hired help. Were they supposed to chop off their fingers to learn too?

I am where I am because I stand on the shoulders of giants. Not because I need to figure out everything from first principles myself, and run face first into every issue along the way.

It's interesting because I just watched that video and absolutely none of what you said is true. He commented that he thinks people have become too risk averse these days and goes on to explain what he means by risk and learning from it, and that a finger is a price he's willing to pay for it. I don't know what took the tip of the finger off, but he stated it wasn't the shipsaw or another saw.

I don't mind a bit of hyperbole, but this sounds like the kind of take you'd get from Fox news.

Still, that part where the dude describes what he built his sawmill rig out of:

"So there's parts of five forklifts, nine semi trailers, ol' sawmill parts, military hobart welder, parking lot sweeper, fertilizer spreader, and god knows what else."

You're exactly making Xakura's point though??

"The world is too safe today" and "people have become too risk-averse" are in no way even approximately equivalent statements.

The other equivalencies you claim are also not equivalent.

Every one around here now has a "if the tracks are blocked, call this number and reference <unique identifier for the intersection>" instead of a call box.

I called the "report a problem with this railroad crossing" number once in the middle of the night and no one answered. It just rang, no voicemail.

Sounds about right. At that point, I'd just shrug and call fire/rescue next. They'll be there sooner or later anyway.

My manager at that time had worked in a store where the ansul system had been tripped. It's a disgusting substance that you don't want to be around and it contaminates everything that isn't commercial equipment. The store has to be shut while everything is cleaned out and all of your consumable materials that were exposed to the ansul needs to be disposed of (cups, lids, french fry sleeves, straws, et cetera). Glad I never saw that happen.

I used to do tech support for cash registers. one time a customer had the fire suppression system in their food truck go off, let it sit overnight, and whatever is in that stuff visibly corroded all the metal bits on their register.

Yeah

It wasn't an emergency, just the crossing next to my old house, lightning hit it in the middle of the night and it turned on and didn't shut off. A cop showed up to stare at it a few minutes later so I went to bed.

The Immovable Ladder

quote:

The so-called immovable ladder[c] under the window of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, made of Lebanon cedar wood, was in place by 1728 and has remained there ever since the 1757 status quo was established, aside from being temporarily moved twice. The ladder is referred to as immovable due to the agreement of the Status Quo that no cleric of the six ecumenical Christian orders[a] may move, rearrange, or alter any property without the consent of the other five orders.

Considering how easily the platform slats they were standing on came off, if they were to hoist it up as a whole one could fall off and obliterate a tank below them.
