I also feel a powerful urge to thrust against the unyielding steel and concrete of that bridge.

Maybe we're looking at this wrong, though. Maybe the bridge itself isn't the danger, but the madly jealous man who posted that warning/threat.

However they apparently accidentally left a couple guys behind before setting off the scuttling charges.

Why did the machine run when open?
It seems to me that it shouldn't run with guard open or at least have a pedal that makes the press run so you can stop it from crushing your head.

There's a high likelihood that it did at one point but someone took the safety measures off because it slowed poo poo down

I was working a test program some years back involving testing some acoustic isolation mounts for submarines. One test sequence used a drop tower, just dropping weights on the thing to generate increasing loads while measuring strain output, accelerations, etc. The next test sequence involved mounting the unit horizontally so a big horizontal hydraulic ram could apply a steady and controlled load.

At one point, just after reaching into the arrangement to adjust some wiring, something failed and the hydraulic ram instantly slammed out to full extension, and then lost all pressure. No idea what happened, it wasn't our facility (we were just their to administer the testing for them), and we weren't operating it. Maybe an accumulator was overpressure and vented into the actuator or something, but I can't think that "go to maximum extension *right now*" is ever an acceptable failure mode. If it had happened three seconds earlier, I'd probably have lost an arm. The test unit, HY100 steel, was *cracked*.

It reminds me of those proposed signs/monuments for nuclear storage at Yucca Mountain that are like,

That's actually the exact problem keeping any of this from going forward. We don't know how these theoretical primitive humans or alien explorers are going to react to our warning signs. Anything that tries to make the burial site seem foreboding and deadly has a good chance to be interpreted as "There's something valuable in here that we're trying to keep you from getting". Pictographs showing the radiation killing someone and causing plant life to die were rejected because future humans may read from right to left, causing the comic to look like the radiation brings the dead back to life and nourishes the plants.

In the end, the only surefire way to keep cavemen of the year 200,000 CE from uncovering radioactive materials is to put it somewhere they won't find it, like hurling it into space or burying it so deep and secure that only a society that can understand radiation can have the tools necessary to uncover it.
