I really like the CSB videos and it is sad to hear that it is apparently mired in a sea of underfunding, overwork and mismanagement:

http://www.publicintegrity.org/2013/04/17/12498/critics-press-action-chemical-safety-board-investigations-languish

Reading that second article it does seem to me that mismanagement is only a part of the problem with funding issues and pushback from industry and other organisations in that area also making their work almost sisyphean. I was kinda wondering how an organisation publishing hard hitting reconstructions like that and calling for more federal regulation of industry could keep pushing that kind of radical message in the US without getting neutered.

An underfunded safety organization in the USA? Say it ain't so.

They make great informative and interesting safety videos though :smith: and the dude even spoke a few times in them.

Also as the years passes eg. him in a video from 2010 vs another video in 2014, you can kinda tell that he is becoming more and more angry and helpless at similar things blowing up or happening over and over again.

I'm sure the clips that showed a building, with clear constructions sounds coming from within, collapsing did not kill anybody. Or that crane operating that fell about 10 stories. Dude in the cab is probably alright.

Pleasure riding (horse with cart thing) class goes extremely wrong. Lots of nasty near-misses, and a few bad collisions. I especially like the guy who jumps in front of the horse trying to stop/catch it. (The horse wins - and my understanding is the man is lucky to be alive.)

I'm no expert, but horse is completely panicked and these guys continue to leap at instead of all getting out of the ring (or moving to the center) and letting the thing calm down. Plus the person in charge doesn't issue any commands to the participants until things are pretty much out of control.

I understand not wanting this to turn into Ogrish.com:The Thread but who cares if a video gets posted of an accident where they may have been a fatality that you can't see.

The whole point of this thread is that if you don't act in a safe manner and follow the rules, bad things will happen.

It's possible she works in some job that involves "social interaction" or "being outside", thus avoiding having any coworkers who would chortle about her name while explaining why it's funny at length.

Many years ago I worked Loss Prevention for a department store chain. We needed to move some cameras to new locations, which required pulling cable. Guy I worked with bought one of these:



We put a small eyebolt in a tennis ball and cable-tied an old fishing reel to the "ball holder" section. Worked pretty good, although we did knock a couple fluorescent tubes out their fixtures (luckily we did the work after hours, so no one got hurt).

I recently saw some alarm installers using one of these to pull cable:



And now I want one - I don't pull cable anymore, but I still want one.

Structurally it's probably not bad, actually. Shotguns have a reputation for massive power, but that's just because of the sheer weight of lead being thrown into the air. Shotgun shells operate at quite low pressures, which is why you can safely use inexpensive steel tubing to make an improvised barrel. To give a comparison, SAAMI standard for 10 gauge shotguns (which are generally considered overkill for most purposes) is 11,000 PSI maximum average pressure. For .45 ACP handguns, they're designed to handle up to 21,000 PSI. 9x19mm Parabellum is 31,000 PSI. Even .22 Long Rifle has a maximum operating pressure of I think 24,000 PSI.

Those kinds of shotguns are super common, especially in areas with restricted legal gun ownership like Southeast Asia. They were called "Four Winds" shotguns in the Philippines.

I was actually reading that not long ago. You can use steel pipe even for .30 caliber rifles. I mean, they won't hit anything past point blank range. But they also won't explode.
