It might be like the other video where the throttle cable snapped so one of them sat in the engine bay and manually actuated the throttle.

I always assume that by showing up to be a spectator at a rally event then you are implicitly agreeing to be run over if necessary.

Technically, gore images outside of FYAD has always been non-kosher anyway.

I'd definitely like to get a warning before watching Staplerfahrer Klaus that I shouldn't be eating lunch while watching it.

But that's fiction. That's not even real gore. It's like a zombie movie. Klaus is farce, not gore. The workplace accident commercials that aired on tv in canada are way more realistic, and they were just on regular tv at all hours with no warning.

Uh, I guess warning: simulated gore and death.

My uncle supervised some construction projects in Ukraine right after the fall of the USSR. He said that a lot of the male workers would show up to work drunk and then just pass out so their wives would come and do their husbands’ work so they wouldn’t be fired.

This picture made me uneasy and I couldn't place my finger on why.

Then I realized every construction site I've walked past has little plastic caps on top of the rebar, I assume so you don't impale yourself.

I sat through a slideshow by a guy who supervised the construction of a school in Mozambique.

He had a similar slide to this.

They didn’t have any purpose‐built anti‐impalement caps, so they improvised with empty water bottles.

Now, there are some issues with that solution, like ”water bottles are made of really weak plastic” and “they’re clear, which is like the opposite of safety orange”.

“Don’t invite the community to tour the unfinished and unlit site after construction has ceased for the evening” is advice he did not suggest but I would consider.

No, the big issue he had with the water bottle rebar caps is that locals would come and take them from their own use.

Now that’s desperate poverty.

Uh, I'm fairly sure that is the aftermath of shorting something with the ring, notice how the ring is melted in 2 spots and the finger has soot on it too.

Overall though it's a surprisingly safe sport overall thanks to the cages, helmets and restraints. Well at least for the occupants of the cars.

What's not so safe? Removing a school bus body off the frame in one piece and driving the chassis out!

Burning couches after football games is OSHA af.

I wish I could find a gif from a pregame show where people were lifting up a couch and someone fell off. The couch was not (yet) on fire.

Burning Man has a similar problem. Standard tent pegs are useless against sandy desert and high winds so everyone uses 2' rebar. At a 45 degree angle. On tent corners and guy ropes. And everyone wanders around mostly at night, drunk or high. So yeah their medical tent has a stream of rebar-related injuries.

They encourage people to cap the ends, which people mostly do with beer cans or gatorade bottles.

I found pool noodles work the best. Hi-vis, soft, and covers the whole exposed rebar so it protects from stubbed toes as well as people falling on it.

i was a squad leader of a squad of conscript AF firefighters at an Norwegian airfield just after my NCO training. One night while watching porn i was interupted by a loud bang and screaming, ran down to the workshop next to the apparatus-hall and found that Private Dimling had shredded his tigh, lost three fingers and an ear and made a jolly great hole in the garage door.

All of this carnage was the result of his idea to weld some "D" rings to his full SCBA tank.

if you behave i might tell you about when i started a brushfire that burned for three days and got on national news during a brief on "the importance of not sleeping on fire-watch"
