GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I thought it was lock out tag out, so you shouldn't approach it if it is?  Not much going on lately at my work. The guy who crashed a tanker and overrode the interlock to continue driving around while leaking flaming jet fuel got fired... but... only after he crashed another brand new tanker a week later. Couldn't believe it myself, both how he crashed or that he was allowed to drive a tanker again. Ran straight into a loving k-barrier. No blindspot, no turning radius shenanigans. Drove straight into a stationary object.   I've seen bags and baggage containers dropped in the middle of the road, but how the gently caress did someone not notice a full pallet the size of a car coming off? It's a calm, clear day too like seriously.  Here's where one of our fuelers on tanker crashed into another fueler driving a tug + cart. Still not sure how they both went full-on braindead at once but they sure did drive right into each other.  This guy was a jerk for no reason, he parked right in my way as I was positioning around a fuel pit. I decided to be a jerk too and make him wait for me.  Here's an airplane traffic jam. No OSHA in this image, but funny thing later that night for complicated reasons I wound up driving my tanker on this same taxiway. I really, really didn't want to because planes taxi at like 30-40mph and some of them go as fast as 60, I'm a tanker full of jet fuel and I can only go 20mph. The taxiway is for airplanes I shouldn't be driving there. The fire marshall insisted because he was getting impatient after some idiot at gate security gave me trouble.  Not much to see here either but a funny memory for me. All I wanted was a ride from a co-worker to get across the taxiway so I could go home. He broke down immediately, mechanics game and fixed the starter plug which had died. Drove 3 feet, broke down again. Multiple issues. Ultimately they were trying to tow us but we couldn't cross the taxiway because the transmission was broke and the engine was in neutral and not building air pressure for the brakes. The failsafe when there is no air pressure uses mechanical brakes (to prevent the vehicle from moving should all the air pressure leak away.) Problem is there is no way to override the failsafe which meant at any moment as the air pressure (which leaks badly on all of these hydrants) was going to dip so low the failsafe would kick and we didn't want that to happen as we were crossing the taxiway. The mechanics couldn't figure a way to override the failsafe so we just had to ditch the vehicle until they could get a full-sized tow platform to get it across the taxiway.

Sanctum posted:I think they put a lock out tag in the cockpit so the pilots know not to do anything. As far as wind spinning turbines, does not matter. I walk in front of and behind the things all day. As long as the engine is off just wind turning a turbine isn't going to do poo poo. Even if the winds are strong enough to force the tailfin into a hard angle. This is what it's like working at an airport. It's like I'm loving there, again. Also, jet engines won't start without the APU or a start cart running, which are hilariously obvious, so a lockout procedure isn't really needed. If he's speedtaping something, he also (hopefully) hasn't signed the airworthiness release, so the flight crew isn't going to do

Is he sorting lbait from a tank? He seems to have a cleaver but I don't really see why that would be located there? Any kind of rough sea fishing is terrifying work though. Watch some of the earlier deadliest catch seasons where people just get creamed.

FrozenVent posted:There's no way that's safe. That's racing nightmare fuel. I do amateur racing sometimes and that's what scares drivers. At some point if you race long enough, you'll crash. I've done it at 110 mph into a wall. And it hurt, but my worst injury was a slightly sprained ankle, and a mass of bruises on my chest. You have a roll cage around you, a five or six point harness around you, a HANS device to keep your neck from flopping around and lots of crumple zone. Some crashes can be worse than others, like being t-boned or rolling in an open cockpit, but you generally have a lot of safety stuff around you. But with any crash at speed, your brain is gonna bounce around a little and you may need a second to kind of mentally reboot. It's like being dazed after a football tackle. Which is a nightmare if there is fire. It doesn't take fire a long time to get out of hand and while Nomex is great, it doesn't buy you forever. Getting a five or six point racing harness undone is designed to be pretty easy. It's a big button in the center for this very reason. But when you're groggy or concussed, and panicking because "Fire, oh god fire, fire, fire" is running through your head, everything gets harder.

Those things were built to loving last. I remember way back in this thread or a previous one someone posted pictures of a collision between a duck and a normal bus. The duck had a few scrapes and dents and the bus was completely smashed in.

I was under the impression that since the suits are fire proof enough to keep you safe, in theory, until you or somebody else could pull you out of the car, the danger was in the fire just eating all of the oxygen while you suffocate.

I looked up fire suit ratings as they pertained to the ones worn in racing, protection ranges from 3 to 40 seconds.

Former weekend racer here and I totally agree. I've also taken a few hard hits. Raced WKA karts and Pro Trucks in a NASCAR weekly series, think of Late Models with fiberglass pickup bodies. Lots of bumps and bruises and a concussion or two. Worst was racing karts though, I flipped and cracked two vertebra. AmmoniumAcetate posted:I was under the impression that since the suits are fire proof enough to keep you safe, in theory, until you or somebody else could pull you out of the car, the danger was in the fire just eating all of the oxygen while you suffocate. They aren't exactly fireproof, I mean, they are flame retardant, so they're less likely to actually burn, but what they really do is slow the transition of heat from the fire to your skin. Basically, you're wearing insulation. It's not the actual flames that burn you most of the time, it's the air. Eventually the air next to your skin heats up to the point where it will burn you. Even a good fire suit is only going to buy you about 40 seconds till you start suffering 2nd degree burns, maybe a little more if you have extra protection like nomex undergarments, ext. Of course, not every inch of your body is equally protected. Hands, neck, feet and face are all areas where you're going to feel the burn first. A lot of cars also have a built in fire suppression system, which is basically a fire extinguisher connected to some piping an nozzles that spray the flame retardant stuff around the cockpit, and a safety pinned plunger within the drivers reach to trigger it. I've never been stuck in a burning car, but I have crashed a car that caught fire. Luckily, it wasn't a super hard hit, and I had enough wits about me to unbuckle and tumble out of the window. It wasn't very big fire, and was contained to the engine compartment, but the sight of actual flames was enough to motivate me to move pretty quick.
