Was that really dry-stacked leca, or am I just not seeing the mortar? He seems to be holding a trowel, but still. Not that I'd trust a freestanding single depth wall of it either way.

I know that vid, but it seems to have been deleted. It was at a mine, AngloAmerican I think, and there were a whole series of gently caress-ups that led to those guys getting seriously burned by arc flash.

It looks like this is a trade school situation and the instructor was leaning too hard against the mock-up wall and pushed it over. No mortar because it's a practice wall and they want to reuse the bricks for the next student.

That doesn't change the fact that this wall was 3-4 courses too tall to not have mortar in it. Even super-thinned out mortar that never actually dries (training mortar) would have helped.

Yeah in a similar vein there was a mixup of gas pipes in a refurbished hospital that resulted in brain damage for a baby and killed another - what should have been delivering oxygen was incorrectly connected to nitrous oxide.

Anglo, I dunno about now but they used to be a bunch of loving cowboys. They nearly killed those guys in 2009, killed a guy with an exploding tyre in 2010 and then killed three people in a 12-month period at that mine and one nearby in 2014-2015.

Metal Coat? It's already active?!

We had a guy do this, in a trailer, on the left side (less stable since roads aren't flat), without any shrink wrap holding the barrel to the pallet.

He'd been with the company ten or so years at that point. He's since been promoted about eight times.

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.

Yeah that's the video and that voice over is done by Phil Lentz over in Perth. http://lentzmedia.com.au/ He is a great bloke to work with.

Imagine 5 years of editing to his voice. Then you get him on the phone and he's Mr Campy Gay GuyTM with his regular voice. One tactic of his was to get drunk and smoke ciggies the night before to gruff up his voice a bit. Doing the VO hungover.

I MIGHT be confusing him with Noel Hurley who did some VO stuff from time to time.

Yeah there's a lot of questionable decisions made in this process but in my opinion, this is the big one that leads directly to the injury.

I also agree with the narration that "when you encounter a mechanical interlock that is there to stop you doing what you are currently trying to do, maybe you should stop and consider if you're doing something dumb"

I dunno dude they're drilling and tapping into the switch and bypassing a mechanical interlock. At that point as a designer I'm calling it officially "on them". There's only so much user stupidity you can accommodate for in a design. There's always a bigger idiot

I've watched this like 30 times and I don't understand what the blade(?) thing that spins around it is even meant to do.

It goes around the entire assembly, so it's not like it's guiding or wrapping anything.

Im pretty sure its twisting strands together that then feed into the center of the machine to be rolled onto the spools.

Yeah, the spinny thing is the strands that it's winding together into a cable.

It's a cool design that takes up half as much floor space as putting the spooling stuff somewhere on the outside. But it's also kind of insane.
