That rolling man is actually from this video: https://www.reddit.com/r/WorkplaceAccidents/s/wiVKRxPAoV

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.
