Chainsaws are not light sabers, they don't cut through limbs when released from hands and on idle probably will not do much damage through clothing (but are still not safe to drop onto yourself even when off because heavy thing sharp edges).

Chainsaws don't chainsaw people. Crazed lumberjacks chainsaw people.

Kid in my school got hit in the face with a chainsaw when it bounced off a knot. It required plastic surgery and he was left with a deep scar extending from his forehead to chin. Cut him bad. Last year in a storm a guy got a chainsaw knocked back into his torso while clearing a road. Ripped his entire chest and abdomen open. He died. Another time we went out to a guy who again, similar to the video, tripped while cutting and it sliced into his fibula. No safety boots but probably wouldn't have made a difference. I've never used a chainsaw before but I'd be skeptical about how safe they'd even be on idle making contact.

Zero One posted:Think you overloaded a crane once? Crane vs. Ship update: It seems that the floating drydock they were using may have failed. They haven't said anything official but the photos show one side of the dock is lower than the other. It either flooded on one side or cracked open. The drop of the dock caused the crane to fall into the back of the ship. Some of the azipod engines may also be damaged (they were taking them apart in dry cofferdams when the failure happened). The cruise line sent out an email to passengers on upcoming sailings that they will need to cancel because they have to take the ship from the Bahamas to Spain (which has the only shipyard big enough at short notice to fix the issues).

Baronjutter posted:Ok, then net worth of the entire corporation. Just generally something more than "The fine for this extremely serious crime that killed 20 workers and blew up a neighbourhood is... let's see, $24,000, the fine was set to go up to $28,000 in 2010 but the industry spent 10 million lobbying against it" The only way that we'll get actual improvements in this regard is to make the corporation's CEO/board personally liable for the damages

If he's getting paid in stock, the regulator gets stock.

Seems like that could all be avoided by just giving someone the authority to actually deal with people who use the emergency exits for reasons other than emergencies.

Specifically for symphisiotomies - cutting the cartilage that joins the two sides of the pubic bone together in the front, to widen the pelvic opening and get the baby out. Medicine is horrifying.

A lot of stuff will injure or kill you if it say, falls on you or is used improperly. But wood chippers are designed to grab you, and then pull you screaming to a slow and painful death. And even if you avoid that they'll turn you deaf just from normal operation. Basically anything that fucks up trees will go through a person like he's not even there.

I really want to own a lathe, but I know without a doubt it will end up somehow kill me or at least make me wish I was dead. Some tools you are just scared of, and when you research accidents involving them, you realize it's common goddamn sense.

My brother does safety audits for a huge international construction company. One time he was in Thailand and caught a guy welding on a beam with no safety line, wearing flip flops, holding the piece he was welding with his flip-flopped feet, and using a cardboard box as a welding mask.

There's a four-storey-high birch tree between my three-storey apartment building and the one next door. It's right on the property line, about 10 feet from both buildings. The landlord wants to get rid of it. I got him a quote from an arborist, which came to $2,300, since you'd need to rig the tree not to fall on either building (or the parked cars in the road). That cost also includes getting a permit from the City, since that's required by law to cut down any tree bigger than 20cm diameter.  Pictured: the tree. Him: "So I got that quote. That's a lot of money." Me: "Yeah, that's what it takes to do it safely and legally." Him: "Nah, it'll be fine. I'll come by with my chainsaw and cut it down myself. You'll see. I've done it loads of times. " Me:  This hasn't happened yet, but I'm planning on not being in the building when and if it does.

Jabor posted:Yeah it's called "I'm pressing the brake as hard as I can, why isn't it stopping?" I don't the answer is that simple here. Judging by the way the car moves (and the plates and the type of car) it looks to be a manual, which would mean the driver would have to use the clutch to switch gears to first and have the presence of mind to regulate their clutch and throttle use to not just uselessly stall the car on the spot. Given this, they'd also likely be accustomed to depressing both the brake and the clutch pedal to stop and long story short the driver probably panicked and decided they'd GTFO before anybody notices they hosed that other car up. Which is probably even stupider and funnier because there's no way all those passing cars didn't see that and there's a camera recording the incident and the driver goes the wrong way in a panic so really there was absolutely no scenario they weren't going to get caught for that, unless they like bribed a cop or something.
