There has to be some kind of known psychological mechanism that causes people to go pants-on-head retarded when they attempt to throw a grenade.

It's actually a genetic condition, where the person is afflicted with two XX chromosomes.

Oh I'm sure it still really hurt, especially if the rebar scraped a testicle on the way on. But it's not as crippling as piercing a testicle.

Same, I mean, if I absolutely had to get impaled then "in a way where it's not going to pierce any of my organs" is probably the way to go

One that's gonna be a lot of tetanus shots for him, two loving ow, three it looks like its on the layer of tissue above internal organs and bone so its like inner layers of skin??? So you think they open him up from crotch to shoulder to pull it out completely or just start yanking from the sack to get it out? :stonk:

You could combat both and just do a long incision. Expose the area to air killing the tetanus and not likely tear more poo poo up.

You'd probably want to slice it open anyways so you could disinfect/stitch it up properly, or you're gonna have a really weird flappy skin-pouch hanging off your shoulder


although it begs the question of what to do with the section that's gone through the testicles, do you bring in someone with some sort of heavy machinery to try and cut a part of it off so you have less to slide through, or do you just try and work that extra 3 feet of rebar back down through?

you split the scrotum open to see what the damage is and to just lift the rebar out, you don't pull it through.

As if anyone watches British porn anyway? How do we even have a Porn industry here? I watched a documentary on it once and they had a "porn star" that was some Welsh girl with a really strong accent talking about the discomfort of taking a 9" dick up the rear end and it was hilarious, just impossible to take any of it seriously.

Sorry wrong thread... this has nothing to do with OSHA and everything to do with British porn.

Watched something on Netflix about British CAM girls... one of them was really hot, but had way too much make-up... and the accent was sexy for about 2 minutes then became incredibly annoying when she started bitching about everything... including how the maintenance man not giving her an exact time to stop by was loving up her "show" and her money. I really wanted to jack it to her but she made it impossible so I turned it off.

Unless I'm mistaken about which video it is, he wasn't vaporized, he was blasted into the back panel and stumbled down the hallway while his clothes were on fire and melting into his skin and ran around the plant for a bit before being extinguished and dying in the hospital. They found his burned flesh and clothes in a trail and on the door handles. The person walking into frame was also severely burned.

I'm late on this one, but that was another incident at a plant in the US.

Basically, the electrician was sent to troubleshoot a motor starter where the fuses had blown. He opened up the starter compartment and went to check the voltage across the fuses to find which one(s) were blown.

The problem was that he thought it was a 480V system. It was, in fact, a 2400 volt system. The meter he had was likely only rated up to 600 or 1000V. The instant the probes touched the fuse blades that were electrified with 2400V, an arc occurred inside the meter, and milliseconds later you had enormous current (many thousands of amps) flowing through the meter. The wiring vaporized, the meter exploded, and generated a tremendous arc flash. He was blown across the isle into the back of another switchgear line up, he then stumbled across the room with his clothes on fire.

As far as the video of the guy getting blown up in the switchgear: he was racking a breaker in or out of a hot bus. Where I work, we have "racking robots" that do it.

Here's a video of one company's racking system racking out a GE breaker rated at 13.8kV, 1200A (28 megawatt capacity, enough power to run a town):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUEAbYl0NbU
These breakers are oddballs because instead of racking into the bus by being pushed backwards, they rack UP into the bus above them. If that was a live bus at that voltage and current I'd be standing WAY back from where the guy in the video was. If you're dealing with power distribution systems, the arc flash can be so high you can get burned standing pretty far away from it. (There's also the danger of thrown shrapnel, copper splatter, stuff like that.)

It still beats the hell out of this - and the closeness is why racking circuit breakers on live busses are so dangerous:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWWtsYdc2pM

This video from GE is a bit of a "how stuff works" look at some of their gear, the insides.

That e-stop (where you need to turn THEN push) is a bit... odd...

I work with industrial electricians all the time. Like any job with hazards, there are procedures in place that keep people safe. From an engineering standpoint, there are guidelines for designing systems that keep people safe.

Probably one of the biggest dangers is if equipment has been modified or the drawings showing the equipment is outdated or incorrect. Never blindly depend on system documentation.
