It's weird to me that a urinary catheter and an oxygen machine have connectors that can mate

I'm still trying to figure out how this happened, since they... kinda don't have connectors that can mate. A foley cath (indwelling) typically has three possible ports: a luer-lock screw-top port that requires a compatible adapter for flushing and drawing back fluid, a second luer that inflates the balloon, and a large open rubber tube where the drainage bag hooks up, which is large enough at the opening to jam your finger into if you had some weird reason to do that. I'm guessing that's where the oxygen hooked up, because oxygen hooks up with a slip-tip cath that's not compatible at all with luer systems (for good reason, as we use that system for IV lines). Plus the pt end of any oxygen hookup is like... a mask or a nasal cannula or something, which is COMPLETELY incompatible with a rubber tube.

I just can't figure out what wacko MacGuyver nonsense had to take place to get the two hooked up. Somebody had to work at that. And turn the pressure up to max, or something. I just don't understand HOW

I remember seeing a hand-written warning note on a piece of equipment: "4160V THIS WILL POP YOUR rear end". Yes, 4160V indeed will do that. (Before anyone asks, 2400V * 1.73 = 4160V, 1.73 is the square root of 3.)

We had some training on a large medium-voltage drive and there was a slide that said that if the drive catches on fire, DO NOT spray water into the drive.

Huh, that's both water rides at Dreamworld being closed down in the same year.

They always seemed a bit out of place honestly, what with having an entirely separate water park right next door.

Mycroft Holmes posted:

Story time: Germany, 80s. We went a wave pool. Waves were active every 10 minutes or so. I had never been to a wave pool and was very curious about the mechanism. During the idle period I went to explore on the deep end (depth or 4-5 yards I guess). There was an opening at the bottom along the whole width of the pool, 1-1.5 yards high. The opening was closed with a "fence" of grey metallic cylindrical post, 2 inches wide, less than a foot apart. Ok, let's wait for the waves to kick in an take a close look. Siren and... waves! Let's dive! The mechanism had the effect of moving water in and out of the opening, creating a wave at the deep end that would then propagate. It also managed to suck one of my legs between the posts, which I couldn't remove during the first cycle. I panicked very much. On the next cycle I took care to not get my foot stuck between the posts and could finally resurface. The rest of the afternoon was spent in the hot water pool under the hot water waterfall, with my eyes closed.

I find it strange that the ride wouldn't have a system to detect a stuck carriage. It sounds like the occupied carriage wasn't moving very fast and if the conveyor hadn't kept pushing it would just have stopped.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the normal (not necessarily official, but normal) procedure for a stuck raft was to bump it with another raft.

It didn't flip all the way over? So the people on the bottom half just sat on their backs under a shallow bit of water, strapped in securely, and drowned?

I love those rides but if there was even a hint of some kind of issue I'd have my seatbelt unbuckled in a heartbeat. They're only in there so you don't get thrown out during the ride but they're so god drat slow and I'm sure the water is only a couple of feet deep.
