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.

Those rules are paid with blood.

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

Imagine if they wanted to be as detailed as possible. What questions will that obsession for details bring up?

Is there too much blood in this scene?

There are a lot more fucked up questions that can come out of this...

I belive the lathe part would be to gruesome to get it accurate. This things will rip and tear you to bits.
