Finally catching up with the last 100-or-so pages of horrific (and entertaining!) negligence of basic safety has made me appreciate the fact that my job takes safety very (and sometimes ridiculously) seriously, mostly due to the constant reminder that being a corner-cutting gently caress-up can potentially lead to the rapid dismemberment of you and anyone else in the general vicinity via supersonic pressure waves and fragments. That said, a decent chunk of safety procedures followed today have their origins in stupid, avoidable accidents from yesteryear: http://nation.time.com/2011/03/09/monumental-air-force-fragmentary-stupidity/ (p.s. driving robots and blowing poo poo up rules)

One of the biggest causes of idiots killing them selves on train tracks, either on foot or in a car, is the 2nd train they didn't see. The crossing starts to light up and ding, the gates come down. You see the training coming from your right and know you can beat it, so you gun it around the gate. What you didn't see was a train on the other track behind the 1st train moving faster. A large proportion of people killed by trains (that aren't suicide) are on multiple tracks. It's very easy to feel confident that you can get past the train you can see, and you become fixated on that one to the point of ignoring others. Also other than their horns, trains can be pretty quiet from the front. All the sound comes out the top/sides for the most part.

The Company Commander, OIC and Range 2IC all got demoted and severe reprimands with one of them getting a commuted sentence in an army jail due to him having released prior to the court martial occuring.

If you have to gently caress up and get yourself killed, try and do it in a way where your organs can be harvested.

Yeah, well, not sure about the US (though I have a pretty good guess) but up here past the wall our organ donor programs are all opt in. Anecdotally, this means smart, mature people are donors and morons prone to dangerous poo poo aren't. So the useful parts of most idiots who shoot themselves in the neck during a selfie are going to waste anyway. Oh and families can override your decision in many cases, so even if you're a sensible, forethinking moron, your usable bits may still end up worm food.

Gobbeldygook posted:The US system is neither opt in nor opt out. Until about 2001 your family always had final say over what was done with your body regardless of what you said while alive. If you die without signing your organ donor card or otherwise making your wishes explicit, they ask your family what they want done with your body. Most but not all states now have "designated donor" laws that require Organ Procurement Organizations to harvest the organs of explicit donors even if the family objects. OPO's were strongly opposed to those laws and are believed to violate them occasionally. So if you're a donor they can harvest regardless, or they harvest regardless.? I know it gets sticky due to cultural or religious blah blah but it's pretty hosed that people have to die or have a much worse life because some other people insist on keeping their organs after they die. Plus it's pretty  that our species harvests the organs of its own members (for good)Oh, right, osha. I saw this guy in a big box parking lot a few weeks ago driving his boom lift. It was almost fully extended and he was controlling it from the bucket with no signal man and no barriers (cars and pedestrians be damned). He was wearing a harness but judging from the rest of the nonsense, I assume he wasn't clipped to anything. I didn't get anywhere near the thing until he hosed off but here's where he parked it.  (a few months ago there were two fatalities in the city from a similar situation: two guys in the bucket when it drove off a sidewalk and tipped over) I saw the same boom a week or so later driving along the same stretch of sidewalk hauling garbage in the bucket.

This one seems a little harsh: Wikipedia posted:A group of six teens posed for a selfie in Beirut. In the background a car can be seen pulling up behind them. The car exploded in a terrorist attack, killing one of the teens. Being murdered by terrorists can't be compared to shooting yourself in the head posing with a loaded gun. Real content: Cruise ship crew Diogenes Carpio and Ben Buenaventura, both from the Philippines, died after a lifeboat safety drill accident aboard the Norwegian Breakaway on 20 July while the cruise ship was docked in Bermuda. The lifeboat was left hanging from one wire after it broke free from the tethering, resulting in four crew members falling into the water. The two surviving crewmen, 25 year old Romanian man and a 31 year old Indian man, were treated and discharged from the hospital. Carpio died at the scene. Buenaventura was transfered from Bermuda to the intensive care unit of Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, Florida. He had fractures to both legs, hip, right arm, punctured lungs and traumatic brain injuries. He died on 30 August. https://www.cruisebruise.com/Cruise/Laws/News/Norwegian_Breakaway_Crew_Lifeboat_Drill_Death.html

JoelJoel posted:So if you're a donor they can harvest regardless, or they harvest regardless.? OPO's are extremely conservative in the sense of fearing change. The organ donation system is built on a very fragile trust and they do not want to do anything to damage it. Switching to an opt-out system would probably reduce organ donation rates unless you paired it with a stick like "If you opt-out, if you ever need one then you have to get in line behind everyone who didn't" - which would probably work as it appeals to American's sense of fairness.

Obviously if someone dies in a suicide bombing and just happened to have a selfie stick with them it's sad and quote:A 36-year-old man, of Niagara, N.D., struck and killed a 54-year-old woman of Portland, N.D. while driving. She was riding a bicycle and he was distracted as he took a selfie, striking her from behind with his vehicle. is a great example of how lovely humans can be, but the majority on that list are more in vein of quote:A 22-year-old man was trying to recreate a scene from his favorite movie Barking at the Stars by running in front of a train, beating it and being hailed a hero. As he ran in front of the train, he tried to take a selfie to document the scene. He was killed instantly when the express train hit him at full speed in the village of Lacarak near the northern Serbian town of Sremska Mitrovica. which is kind of funny. e: okay, yes, it's also tragic for all the other people involved. Guess I'm just a bad person for finding humour in people killing themselves in the dumbest ways possible.
