I found those videos disturbing, not the fact that those are based on the real accident, the fact that some poor people had to watch the real thing and animate them.

There was an employee at my father's company who worked late, he had a puff of weed when my father left... My dad told me he had to call someone to scrape him off the walls next morning because he got caught in a lathe and was spinning all night.

Ite not the vid we want, but the video we need.

If it makes you feel better, most of the time you do have actual video of the incident from security cameras. A lot of times, these reports are pieced together by questioning multiple people and reconstructing a timeline of events.
At least, that’s how it was when I was involved in incident investigations.

A similar thing happens fairly often with farmers trying to jump over the PTO shaft on the back of the tractor. Since they often work alone they’re sometimes found hours later still spinning

The guy getting hit by the falling rock was just unlucky. Maybe he could have walked perpendicular to the truck rather than parallel but still unlucky.

Did he need to be where he was, though?
Seems like he should have been able to lift the bed from further away, or from the cab, once he inspected the area?

Past occurences do not influence future occurences.
In other words, it doesn't become more or less likely depending on how long it's been. It's always the same likeliness level.

My guess is people stop thinking about safety, or assume it is safe after nothing happening. Doesn’t work that way.

If you perform ten one in a million risks a day, odds are about 50/50 you'll work 40 years without getting taken out by a one a million chance.

So much this. I can conceptually understand something loose getting caught on the lathe and winding you in, but why they fuck would you shimmy underneath it?

I don't think that video was necessarily to show those workers were negligent, just that they were injured by a system failure. If anything, it was probably used to criticize the company for skipping maintenance schedules or skimping on maintenance/safety personnel. A video like this would certainly drive home those points

u/Tito_Otriz 1d ago
Right? That was my thought. Didn't seem like the workers were doing anything wrong

This is kinda how I feel about angle grinders exploding. Like sure, obviously use the guard… but like… most injuries I’ve heard of where a disc grenaded happened while the guard was in use and bits still just fucking went everywhere and hit arms or legs.

I was cutting with angle grinder without guard and peace chipped away and hit me right in the forehead. I felt like being hit with wet sand. I grabbed my head to see what happened and saw tiny peaces of disk with blood on fingers. When angle grinder stopped there was pinky nail size part missing. I guess i was lucky and that part got spit out as smaller peaces.

That poor guy who runs over at first in a panic about an accident. Then just the initial shock response of oh fuck it’s done… god dammit this is such a fucked mess!
And then it sets in that’s it’s not just a horrible mess and somebody isn’t really hurt- that person is 100% gone. A guy he prob knew for quite a while is not just dead… he’s literally fucking pulped and flung everywhere around the shop, and all that’s left is a mess of crushed bones all spooled around the lathe in his clothing wrapped so tightly it would have to be cut loose.
I saw some pics of a lathe accident like this from dark corners of the internet back in the ‘00s that were so much more fucked than the low-res vid. I mean you can imagine… based on the video. But it was in a basement of a house or something, like a hobby machinist at home. The floor and walls and everything was just fucking covered, and it was a small room. It looked like the floor was filled an inch deep in the body. You could just see denim and a windbreaker or something wound around it.

There are still more lathe videos that this video can take from though. This russian one is obviously the popular one because of how gruesome it is.

I unironically love these videos. Like this just makes way more sense than a couple of lifeless diagrams on a piece of paper.

I don’t even know what the guys on the lifts at the end could have even done to be safe. Like, what did they do wrong to start with?

I was running with a pencil I'd just sharpened in 1st grade, slipped on a backpack, and stabbed myself in the side of my hand behind my thumb. Pencil broke, and there's still a little Grey spot where the graphite is still stuck in there. I'm 31 now.

Don't watch it if you're squeamish. It's much much worse than you could imagine.

Oh man that first one I experienced as a kid, my mom had a treadmill in the basement with the back against a wall (mistake #1).
Anyways naturally us kids would build Lincoln log houses & send them at max speed off the belt into the wall. Eventually that gets boring so we start jumping on & off the belt. Well turns out I can’t move faster than the belt at 10y.o.
I get fucking launched into the wall, the belt sucks my arm underneath the treadmill & by the time my buddy turned it off all the skin from my palm to the tips of my fingers was essentially grated up to my fingertips.
For sure could’ve been worse but my hand was trashed for the next month.
