A court document says Walp was driving the load from Reynolds, Nebraska, to Hanover, Kansas, on Aug. 8 when he exchanged texts with his boss. The document says that soon after Walp read that he'd been dismissed, he stopped the truck on Nebraska Highway 8 near Odell, got out and opened the grain trailer's bottom hatch doors.

The document says Walp then drove down the highway, spilling out nearly 1,000 bushels of corn — nearly $3,100 worth.

5 kids died and the bus driver was arrested for vehicular homicide and reckless driving. He also sideswiped a car 2 months ago taking the same blind curve way too fast and swerving into oncoming traffic.

If that's true there could be some serious legal repricussions for whoever was in charge of that driver. Respondat superior and all.

Bone issues are the dramatic but lesser of injuries from chronic HF exposure. Chronic exposure more seriously leads to heart disease from extended periods of hypocalcemia. The risk from acute exposure such as in the case of a transport worker getting exposed in that example, is heart attack due to hypocalcemia. Shock, as from a chemical or thermal burn, is often not a huge issue because such an exposure is probably going to cause a heart attack in short order but for gross enough exposure you can start worrying about the normal burn complications too.

I remember fixing a straw baler when I was about 19 that required me to hold back on the gate with my full weight (~230lbs at the time). My boss had his whole body inside and he just trusted me to not lose my grip. PTO off but tractor was still running. We were trying to beat a storm. We succeeded. It was a dumb-rear end thing for us to do. If I'd lost my grip, he'd have lost an arm at best.

Apparently, the same is true if you're being shot at. I'm sure some crazy gun goon will either corroborate me or correct me.

Late to this topic, but as a kid we had the local cop (we had one) come to school once a month to teach us about the law and other things. 'Constable Barry' will forever be a memory as is his advise to run in zig zags from a shooter. VERY small town in country Australia. Not much violence at all. But it will always be a memory.

Bonus: if we ever did encounter a shooter it would probably be one of the town drunks after he got out of the holding sell which was a shed in a field after his weekend. Sunday funday was getting rocks and throwing it on the tin roof of the cell/shed to wake up whichever drunk person/uncle was in there sleeping it off.

It should be an edit: But after all of 'Constable Barry's' advise I ended up getting shot in the leg by my grandfather while hunting Dingoes. Mum and Grandma after 20 years still don't know haha. It was interesting explaining that scar for my Army intake.

Mark it zero!

This does look dangerous and not really what it was designed for. On the other hand, it's totally within weight limits and apparently fully programmed beforehand so they could test it before someone actually got on?

So on the whole looks quite a lot safer than a whole lot of jury rigged contraptions I've seen here.

(Should probably wear a helmet though.)

Clearly the issue is that they didn't use bamboo scaffolding.
