In this clip Buster Keaton broke his neck while swinging down and opening the spout of a large water tank over his head. They hadn't tested the stunt before and the force of the water was much stronger than expected, smashing Keaton into the ground. Keaton was kind of like Jackie Chan in that he insisted on doing all of his own stunts, and also like Jackie Chan, would severely injure himself repeatedly in the process.

Keaton and Jackie Chan would definitely be on the Mount Rushmore of Filmmaking OSHA. Plus, Tom Cruise and ummm...Steve-O?

Long read - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2019/11/amazon-warehouse-reports-show-worker-injuries/602530/

quote:

She started the job in April 2018, and within two months, or nearly 100,000 items, the lifting had destroyed her back. An Amazon-approved doctor said she had bulging discs and diagnosed her with a back sprain, joint inflammation, and chronic pain, determining that her injuries were 100 percent due to her job. She could no longer work at Amazon. Today, she can barely climb stairs. Walking her dog, doing the dishes, getting out of her chair—everything is painful. According to her medical records, her condition is unlikely to improve.

quote:

When a maintenance worker was crushed to death by a forklift there, state officials in Indiana, which then was jockeying for Amazon’s second headquarters, sided with the company over their own investigator.


tl;dr - Amazon fulfillment centers average exponentially higher rates of injury and death than industry average. State and local officials work with OSHA to cover up incidents as they prostrate themselves before Bezos begging for scraps.

These guys got together with a stuntman friend of theirs to cover some Jackie Chan stunts. Even his most minor fight scenes and stunts involve him brutally abusing himself and taking legit hits.

Fairly OSHA, just reading Buster Keaton's biography on wikipedia:

quote:

The act was mainly a comedy sketch. Myra played the saxophone to one side, while Joe and Buster performed on center stage. The young Keaton would goad his father by disobeying him, and the elder Keaton would respond by throwing him against the scenery, into the orchestra pit, or even into the audience. A suitcase handle was sewn into Keaton's clothing to aid with the constant tossing. The act evolved as Keaton learned to take trick falls safely; he was rarely injured or bruised on stage. This knockabout style of comedy led to accusations of child abuse, and occasionally, arrest. However, Buster Keaton was always able to show the authorities that he had no bruises or broken bones. He was eventually billed as "The Little Boy Who Can't Be Damaged", with the overall act being advertised as "The Roughest Act That Was Ever in the History of the Stage"

In high school I did a scene where I was supposed to be thrown onto a small table. We rehearsed it with me going onto it backwards so I could lift myself onto it and roll off safely (in most throws and lifts in film/stage or wrestling, the victim is actually throwing themselves and aiding with the lift). When the time came to perform, he forgot most of his blocking and just hurled me headfirst. I ended up doing the best stunt fall in my life to avoid breaking my arm or neck on that one.

I don't know if it bothers me more or less that this is on official signage. So either it was broken long enough that they were able to go to the printers and get a sign fully designed and printed (specifically for the bear enclosure), or they just have signs like this ready to go because glass cracking is a common enough occurrence that it makes sense to have signs like this on hand.

Don't trust anything you see on imgur, people just straight up lie about things so people give them up votes. There's one of Rafal Nadal hitting a tennis ball into the commentators box with a caption about how they were mispronouncing his name. Except that's not what happened at all.
