[...] this very fallible theory are pulling out all the stops to get us to repent for our industrialist transgressions. Just type in “Global Warming ad” on YouTube and a number of very disturbing videos [...]

Someone needs to put out a video showcasing the dangers of not thoroughly reading labels on power supplies…and reading, say, 1.5 Volts .5 Amps when the output is .5 Volts and 1.5 Amps.

I probably came as close to killing myself that day as I ever have in my life…

The company I work for actually showed that video during one of our safety meetings several years ago. The safety guy got a little upset because folks either
1. Got grossed out and quit watching or
2. Laughed at the corniness of it and started mocking it.
Very serious topic. Very very bad video.

This Administration will regulate U.S. into safely watching production come to a halt. Because it is too dangerous to produce anything here, the left’s solution is send it overseas or only have right wing lunatics do it, because these people are expendable for the left’s cause.

As long as e-verify is not required to comment on HA, we can get good career advice here in the Age of Obama.

Thanks, Ars!

So, if I understand this, if you’re not safe at work you might get hurt? Bad. Real bad? SteveMG on April 11, 2009 at 2:23 PM

No. It means that if you go to work, you aren't safe.

Congrats, Ralphy, you’ve just turned my bowels to water.

The very concept of an uncontrolled Delta fire in such an environment should scare the willies out of any former or current Coastie.

BTW What method did you use to put it out?

You know, if I saw that movie at my workplace, portraying the kinds of horrible things that could happen to me, I’d quit that very day.

Losing a finger because a ring got caught on something is one of the most common accidents even Neil Armstrong lost a finger when he jumped off a tractor & his wedding band got caught on something.

That’s one small step for a man, one giant Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ya just gotta watch what you are doing. With that being said sometimes people get do get distracted from their job. There is a beef packing house near where I live. I’ve seen the result of some of the accidents there and sometimes wonder what is really in that hamburger. Gee, I hope nobody is eating when they read this.

I started to do the ring/finger thing. Luckily I hit the ground before it yanked it off. I walked away with a nasty laceration. I completely forgot about that until you mentioned that.

If I watched that during orientation for a factory job, I’d quit right there. Ain’t worth the risk.

they may be a bit cartoonish, but having worked in plants for 30 years I have personally seen some of these types of accidents happen. Specifically the forklift out of the back of a trailer and the exploding drum. I remember our safety guy showing us this video and the ring getting caught part got me to stop wearing my wedding ring at work, my wife never understood why. Thanks AP, I will show her this video now.

Two months ago I was installing a set of attic stairs in my garage. As I was lowering the stairs into the opening, the door snapped shut on both of my hands, trapping them and crushing the last two fingers on each hand. This isn’t one of those doors with the weak springs, either…it’s gas-piston operated and it has a really powerful closing force.

So there I am…in the attic, the only one in the house, with no way to get any kind of leverage to free myself, and with no way to call anyone for help except by yelling my head off. Luckily one of my neighbors was home in the middle of the day and eventually heard me…he was able to come up and pry the door off of my hands.

No permanent damage done, but I was plenty afraid I was going to lose one or more fingers to gangrene since the blood was cut off for a really long time. There’s still some residual numbness that will eventually go away, and I’m still regrowing a new nail on one of them, but I consider myself extremely fortunate that it worked out the way it did.

Also, I’ve seen real pictures of the finger/ring thing…it freaks me out every time I think of that bare skeletal finger on an otherwise normal hand. But the worst picture was of a motorcyclist who didn’t wear a full-face helmet and clipped off his entire lower jaw.

holy toledo.

did you see the dummy that fell in the beginning? it was like something from the naked gun!

joey24007 on April 11, 2009 at 5:33 PM

Just because he fell doesn’t make him a “dummy”…

Anyone can slip.

heh…
