It wasn't her striking the column that hurt much. It was the twenty foot fall onto solid concrete that did.

atomicthumbs posted:Maintenance Man Dies After Being Drawn Into 17½-Inch-Diameter Positive Pressure Intake Pipe--Virginia quote:The victim and two co-workers were attempting to replace a blower on a vacuum line with a pressure of 3,740 pounds per square inch (psi). The victim attempted to walk past the unguarded 17½-inch pipe when the vacuum suction pulled his chest against it. He called to his co-workers for help and both men grabbed him and tried to pull him away from the pipe; Holy poo poo that has to suck. I can't believe that these guys though they could pull him off something with over 250 atmospheres of pressure pulling him in, the only way to save him was to hit an emergency off switch. And why the hell was it still going while they were working on it?

Assuming there’s a hard vacuum in the line, because  3740 psi,π ⋅ 8.752 ⋅ 14.7 = 3536 lb Sure, pull him off. Platystemon fucked around with this message at 11:06 on Oct 30, 2016 |

Also I cant believe you didnt continue onto the next line:quote:however, the victim was doubled over backwards and pulled 38 feet through the pipe by the vacuum until he was stopped by the intake shroud of the next blower on the vacuum line

Where did the 3.7k psi come into play when he got sucked in? -e- 3.7k pounds pushing him in sounds more like it. Lurking Haro fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Oct 30, 2016 |

One thing I dont get about that gif is if the pressure is so intense why doesn't it bend that spinning blade? The blade looks fairly thin, maybe its just made of diamond or something?

There's nothing pushing against the sides of the blade (or rather, it's pushing the same amount on both sides). The pressure differential is from the outside of that red pipe to the inside, which is why the crab gets sucked through that tiny hole.

I'm starting to think a lot of these OHSA accident scenarios are planned out and intentional in order to cull the population. How is it even possible that a person is able to get near an unprotected pipe that insta-kills anyone who gets in front of it, there should be a cage around it or something.

The employer had a joint labor/management safety committee that conducted periodic safety meetings. Although written general lockout/tagout procedures existed, machine- or operation-specific procedures did not. This was the employer's fourth fatality. HR needs to reduce headcount for budgetary reasons. HR is responsible for safety procedures. You may be onto something here

They were replacing a blower, so it was disconnected and partially disassembled. They had removed the old blower with a crane but hadn't installed the new one yet. Even if there had been an intake cage it would probably have been removed to get access to the blower.

PittTheElder posted:Spires are such bullshit, those shouldn't count. They don't for a lot of measurements. There's generally 3 categories of height for building. Tallest physical point, tallest "structural" point (which is suposed to not include things like antennas and spikes but some people debate what is and isn't included) and tallest occupied floor. I like tallest occupied floor because anyone can put a huge dumb hat on a building, but actual usable space is what makes a building a building.

I think spires look good so I encourage architects to add them, even if it’s for dick‐waving reasons.

That looks perfectly reasonable? My stepdad uses an old truck without back wheels for running his saw to cut planks for his carpentry. Considering the state of the truck he have probably done that for 40 years or so.

Meredith Baxter-Burnout posted:Yeah, I read that Peter Theil and other rich weirdos do that. My understanding was that it really doesn't work in humans or that the effects in the mice were exaggerated. The mice are so inbred they're considered to be clones of each other. i very much look forward to the hilarious TedVR talk about a new acquired blood disease called "Thiel Syndrome"
