If literally nothing else, its probably a murder investigation until proven otherwise. That, and recovering the gear so nothing else gets trapped in it. e: if you somehow survive and can't get out (broken leg, etc), someone has to come get your dumb rear end as well.

Mahatma-Squid posted:What's up with the ridiculously high deaths per 100,000 in the US? Looking at stats for Australia (from https://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/) we have 11.2/100,000 deaths for agriculture, forestry & fishing industries compared to somewhere between twice as many to over 8 times as many deaths in the US according to that chart. Overall fatalities are about 3 times as bad in the US with 3.2/100,000 against 1.1/100,000. Seems like a crazy difference and I don't feel like we have a particularly strong safety culture over here or anything. Category errors, your categories don't line up with that chart. For example, by US stats "logging" is not considered a forestry job. Going to the BLS stats, number of fatal injuries for 2018 across all private industry was 4779. For agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting, there were 574. For that category, there were 2,310,000 jobs. That's a fatality rate of 24.84/100,000. Which is still worse than Australia, but not 8 times as bad.

Logging, in the traditional sense, is actually not that dangerous. Generally, it's a few fallers, a skid loader, and a few guys bumping knots(cutting off limbs the loggers missed/ugly or useless rotted knots). Skytrain logging is where poo poo gets real dangerous, as idiots try to choker out monster trees with the wrong equipment all the time. I had a friend who did this for a few months, and the fifth time a chain broke and destroyed the rock he was hiding behind, he realized that it was time to find another job. The real dangerous and outright negilligent category of workers that gets lumped in with loggers are Arborists. Davey Trees has managed to sink more than a few smaller outfits by causing the insurance rates to skyrocket. I do line inspection for a living and the safety auditor I trained under has some real  horror stories about tree crews being unbelievably unsafe. Guys gaffing old dead trees with no safety lines of any kinda, chippers with drums so badly misaligned that they shoot more sparks than a Roman candle, tree crews were nobody speaks any common language so the foreman has to have his instructions translated three or four times.

In 2018 here in the UK we had 29 deaths in agriculture. Not per 100,000 just in total. It was just over 8 per 100,000.

In the US agriculture is exempt from child labor regulations so a lot of those are kids literally drowning in corn while working as human mixing spoons in the top of the grain silo https://www.farmprogress.com/corn/grain-bin-danger-just-20-seconds-entrapment

This is another category error, since you just compared UK agriculture to US agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting. What’s the UK define as agriculture? Does it include ranching? When comparing numbers across countries you need to be sure you’re comparing the right numbers.

That sign rocks. Also one thing I never got about base diving - how are you supposed to stop? I don't mean suddenly, with pieces bouncing around for the carrion birds. What is the intended way to stop?

Meredith Baxter-Burnout posted:I think the intended question was how do the wingsuit guys stop. In theory they extend over a cliff into open space and parachute. But all too often, it's a tree or rock. Considering there's a chance you might merely end up a fractured pile of goo with broken bones sticking out instead of instantly dead, even with a Stage 4 diagnosis I think I'd rather have the needle in a nice garden than a wingsuit run that might be amazingly fun.

Thanks to the PYF strange youtube content thread I discovered this guy who likes to explore drainage culverts and whatnot. His channel seems to have a lot of videos of draining streets. Here he goes down into a culvert and follows it to the end wearing just a pair of cleats for PPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozqQfav9btI

In the cases where they're scooting along ten feet above the ground, they usually finish by going over a cliff or something that gives them space to open the parachute. I don't think you can really "pull up" and do a zoom climb for altitude in a wingsuit. Don't go looking too deep for the answer, because wingsuit videos rapidly become Faces of Death. That bridge in Mexico still haunts me

That's a perfectly normal wheel configuration. They've been using them on roller coasters for decades. everydayfalls posted:https://i.imgur.com/VpcX5h3.mp4 Couple weeks ago my neighbor had a car fall on him. He builds race cars but wasn't thinking and pulled the driveshaft while his car was on ramps without the wheels chocked or the parking brake on. Rolled off and pinned him to the ground. My roommate who yanked him out said his chest swelled noticable while she was talking to him and his one eyebrow looked like a caveman's. At least it was his Denali and not one of his BMWs or he wouldn't have had enough room to yell for help.
