Snowglobe of Doom: Mar 30, 2012; sucks to be right

If I ever set up Jigsaw-style deathtraps where people have to choose where they get stabbed in the brain I'm definitely no inviting you guys because you would suck all the fun out of it

I dunno, figuring out how to place as many non-fatal skull-nails as possible sounds exactly like the kind of thing that would show up in a Saw movie.

Yes, the first truck shouldn't stop with the cab directly under the container. And the guy in the white shirt should be wearing a hard hat.

Yeah it looks like it only hit the corpus callosum (the hemisphere interconnect) and the fourth ventricle (where cerebrospinal fluid is produced). If he heals without infection or too much blood loss, he�ll be pretty ok. If I had to have a nail that big shot through my skull, that�s p much exactly where I�d put it

Third ventricle, it's nowhere near the fourth.

The superior sagittal sinus is long and thin, how do you go through it obliquely without putting a hole in it? Put a hole in it your stone dead. Even in the middle of surgery it's very serious.

Concerned about bone-crunching collisions and the lack of clearly marked pedestrian lanes at the Fremont, California, plant, the general assembly line’s then-lead safety professional went to her boss, who she said told her, “Elon does not like the color yellow.”

...

Under fire for mounting injuries, Tesla recently touted a sharp drop in its injury rate for 2017, which it says came down to meet the auto industry average of about 6.2 injuries per 100 workers.

But things are not always as they seem at Tesla. An investigation by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting found that Tesla has failed to report some of its serious injuries on legally mandated reports, making the company’s injury numbers look better than they actually are.

...

“Everything took a back seat to production,” White said. “It’s just a matter of time before somebody gets killed.”

Tesla, worth about $50 billion, employs more than 10,000 workers at its Fremont factory. Alongside the company’s remarkable rise, workers have been sliced by machinery, crushed by forklifts, burned in electrical explosions and sprayed with molten metal. Tesla recorded 722 injuries last year, about two a day. The rate of serious injuries, requiring time off or a work restriction, was 30 percent worse than the previous year’s industry average.

...

And in addition to yellow, Musk was said to dislike too many signs in the factory and the warning beeps forklifts make when backing up, former team members said. His preferences, they said, were well known and led to cutting back on those standard safety signals.

“If someone said, ‘Elon doesn’t like something,’ you were concerned because you could lose your job,” said Susan Rigmaiden, former environmental compliance manager.

...

In her March 2017 resignation letter, White recounted the time she told her boss, Seth Woody, “that the plant layout was extremely dangerous to pedestrians.” Woody, head of the safety team, told her “that Elon didn’t want signs, anything yellow (like caution tape) or to wear safety shoes in the plant” and acknowledged it “was a mess,” she wrote.

lmao the whole thing is a great read

So I was phone posting and hadn't done any actual research beyond thinking hard about some stuff I might have read in the past, and reading the tweets posted in this thread. Now I've just had a chance to actually read the Reveal News article, and if it's accurate that's really concerning. On the one hand, I want to like what Musk is doing with Tesla, ie creating a practical, affordable electric vehicle and also a market so that other companies can follow suit. But on the other, as a guy who works a job with the potential for grievous bodily harm if safety standards get too sloppy, gently caress everyone in a management position who values money/their own comfort over the safety of their workers.
