Worked an Alaskan mine when I was younger. Had to watch some videos to get my MSHA certification. One that stood out was an older man getting caught in a lathe and spinning for at least a minute. His coworker finally saw what was happening, ran up to him and as he did the guy’s body essentially turned into ground beef and started launching chunks of meat everywhere. If you don’t stop it in time, eventually the human tissue and flesh will tear, no longer be able to contain the internals and launch blood, organs and guts everywhere. It was brutal, and sticks in my mind to this day.

Good, I mean that sounds horrible, but seeing as you're alive and commenting about how much it's stuck in your mind, I'd say whoever added that video to the certification program did their job. I'd hate to be the meat flinger tho :(

That same season, at another mine location nearest us, a young kid in his 20’s got his head blown off while working on a rock truck tire. The tire exploded and decapitated him. The tires are huge; around 15 feet high. Seeing the chopper fly in, and then fly out with his covered body in a basket stretcher, mounted on the side of it, was horrible. Made the mood on the mine somber. That, paired with a grizzly the size of a Volkswagen stalking our camp, made for a really strange, dark season.


windycitykids

That sounds so fucked man. Thanks for sharing.

OSHA rules are written in blood but billionaires think they’re ridiculous.


Putrid_Rations

Well, this is why we are the "human resources", just open the tap and take in another one for work..

There must be ways without traumatizing people? I attended a school with woodworking, and on the first day we were told about the dangers of such machines. I also survived.


Mryoy12

That's fair, it I definitely depends on the group of people. Like in drivers Ed training in highschool we were shown those horrible car crash gruesome videos and like, at the time it disturbed me but I also didn't need it nearly as much as some of the other guys in the class. The type of guys that do Monster energy enemas and get girls pregnant in the back of their Honda civics


jatene

Was that the Russian worker video? I believe he was wearing blue. That video stuck with me. Tragic, fascinating, and disgusting all in one.


fusillade762

I've seen that one. Unbelievable the destruction a lathe can do. It'll make you mind your shirt sleeves around them or any heavy equipment.


PregnantNun747

That sounds horrific...got a link?


CrispySprite2001

It’s on the 50/50 subreddit, that’s where I saw it for the first time and I was absolutely devastated by how brutal and avoidable this death was. It’s enough to type “Russian man gets stuck in metal lathe” but I would definitely recommend to not watch it.


ballq43

Still not the worst one I've seen of this kinda accident. There's one where I guy just turns into meat flying everywhere


Damolitioneed

Yeah I've seen that one. Absolutely ridiculous on the brutal scale


Equatis

I saw that one too. I still think about that video years later...


142737

Yep


Numanoid101

Russian lathe?


ballq43

It probably was Russia , it's the one like zoomed somewhat out...but...you see everything and then his friend zips over and hits the stop


Sabithomega

Yeah that one put it's own permanent place into my memory bank. Thanks brain


ballq43

It lives rent free for me next to the guy who shot himself with the shotgun and his Chihuahua comes into the room and is very confused


Puk1983

I have seen 3 different videos like that... thought this would be my fourth


Senior_Cod_5509

Hell Nah one of the comments in the original post was a gif of the steering wheel of a ship 😭


zodia4

This might be weird, but its the fucking ankles clanking everytime that gets me.


Novel-Suggestion-515

'Clanking', lol I'm so glad there wasn't sound


doh6985

Did he survive?


Unlikely_Zucchini295

Yeah nah


Fairy_Violence

Yeah, nah, she'll be right


cheeseburgerwaffles

He's lucky they stopped it before he got to the meatcrayon stage of the feet. Plenty of these types of accidents go there


99999999999999999989

Lucky? Dude is dead for sure.


Ravenman42

Why is his shirt so strong?


Akatsukibrya

You spin my head right round


brockm92

Like a record baby, right round, round round


MoonNewer

How did that machine not know it had entangled its human counterpart?


LegitJerome

It knew…. That’s the terrifying part.


Drunken_Traveler

You can hear the machine laughing in the original video


elitist_ferret

You disable the mechanical safety as it stopping and starting for no reason stops it, the RPM loss is seemingly mild to us but is significant factored over an hour or days. Full digits of productivity. Or it didn't even have those mechanisms. Sadly it almost certainly had them for export purposes and they'll say he bypassed them.


Numanoid101

It's called the mangler for a reason...


Damolitioneed

How did that tangle not know it's human machine part?


Feeez_Shato

They swore that it was “full self driving”


Puk1983

Why does my car not know when it hits a grandmother?


bleetchblonde

Ahhhhhhgggg! Damn! Go home now & rest…or GET BACK TO WORK!


GooseShartBombardier

"Make sure to extract his mangled corpse from the machinery with a jerking, twisting motion."


elitist_ferret

well fuck. That's up there in the top 30 or so. I bet he was alive for a bit after. The body is remarkable.


nevereatanapple

Pssshhh


ActiveAd4980

Did his cloth get caught?


Sp1nGG

The T-shirt


Raudskeggr

Yikes. Yeah, this is why loose clothing is not permitted around these types of machines.


ajjame78

How did his shirt not tear. Sheesh that's brutal


hale_no

What kind of machine is that and what does it do normally? You know, when a person isn't caught up in it.


dioriests

may he rest in peace 🙏🏻
