Alastor_the_Stylish posted:It kind of looks like there's a lip on the building that the cleaning cart is resting on. I have no doubt that it's holding up well enough because there would have been hilarious pictures of the wreckage. That's just a different color of paint. If you look to the right at the unpainted part you can see it's a smooth wall.

This is the kind of accident I was talking about in an earlier post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWCoEx_0zbQ What tends to happen with these kind of accidents is the same as the confined space asphyxiation incidents that have been posted in this thread.

FIRST TIME posted:I'm loving the buyer testimonial on that site. There was an incident at a mushroom farm here in BC where three guys were overcome from fumes in a shed. The three died, but others went in to rescue them. Paramedics arrived at the scene and assessed that it was too dangerous to go into the shed, but no one on the farm spoke english, so people kept charging in to rescue their coworkers, not understanding the warnings from the paramedics. The three who died almost got the better end of the deal, as the ones that survived are basically brain-damaged beyond belief and will require lifetime care. The worst one I saw on the news was a guy confined in a wheelchair, wearing diapers and howling like an animal.

FIRST TIME posted:There's some pretty awful stories of people falling in those poo poo pits and then other people try to save them. It always ends in everyone involved dying in poo poo. Two I remember. One was from a Rolling Stone article about how awful factory pig farming is, and another was about a tiny airplane that crashed into a sewage treatment plant. They were dead anyway but they had to drain the thing and wait for days before it was safe to recover the bodies.

My step dad worked at a mushroom farm when he was young and now I understand why he hated mushrooms for the rest of his life. Kind of bums me out because I absolutely love mushrooms. I actually went to school near the same mushroom farm that he worked at. On certain days the wind would carry over a foul stench that was pretty much the smell of raw sewage.

They were dead anyway but they had to drain the thing and wait for days before it was safe to recover the bodies. There was a sewage treatment plant by the neighborhood were I grew up. It was fenced off of course, with a wide perimeter so it wouldn't be a huge eyesore. If you went back in the woods though, you could get a pretty good view of it from up on a hill. It was basically big,open pools of churning poo poo. Even just seeing pictures, terrifies me to this day.  Something actually OSHA.jpg is that the main pool had an arm that extended from the center and rotated like the hand on a clock to skim the sewage. It had a platform on it and I actually saw a worker jump onto it while it was still moving. I'd seen other workers stop it to get on so this guy was risking a lovely death for no good reason.

Segmentation Fault posted:It wouldn't be OSHA.jpg without a 3d reenactment of the event. The moment I realized stupid poo poo was at play was when worker 2 stayed with worker 1 in the fume-filled shed to keep an eye on him. Like it's already been established "Hey boss, I smell something funny" led to "Get out of there!" which led to *faceplant*. At some point, they just skipped straight past the "Passed out due to fumes in shed" part of the logic chain.

At some point, they just skipped straight past the "Passed out due to fumes in shed" part of the logic chain. The thing with toxic fumes is that they tend to cloud your brain and make it hard to make the correct decisions. If you don't get out right away it might be too late because you can't think clearly anymore. Say Nothing posted:Don't get on an escalator in China. It's crazy. First there was this video of a woman in China who died after she got caught in an escalator, and now this. No wonder there's videos popping up of Chinese people carefully checking with a stick if the "landing" is stable while getting off the escalator.

Carbon dioxide posted:Related question: Are there any applications that would fail to work if you connected hot/neutral the wrong way around? A few weeks late, but yes, it can. When people wire mini split a/cs the wrong way around, poo poo doesn't work. Mainly because in heat mode everything goes through a control PCB, to switch outdoor fan and defrost modes. So many times I've been called to a unit not heating right and it's because the installer switched active and neutral. It will run fine in cooling mode when most a/cs are installed and tested, but won't run fine through the defrost and control circuits that the reverse cycle heat mode needs. I did this yesterday, so it's the main reason I have time to play catch up with this thread. Not from the same height though, and technically I slipped and wrenched my knee (big time)first, and the CRT must of landed on my foot because that hurts too, not impact wise on the skin, but internally like a break. Not as bad as the time a slipped and dropped a ducted ac condensing unit on my leg - that cause internal bleeding with blood pooling in my heel and a permanent numb spot where it hit.
