PPE has existed since tools, we've just had a bad relationship with engraining it into the task for everyone. We need ignoble awards to give out to managers who bravely bullied workers into ultra dangerous situations against all reason, without PPE, and failed to get the job done, and got everyone killed. Maybe even a national database of management who live on the backs of people forced to live on the edge.

The glory days of American manufacturing where you can kill anyone before they can draw their pension. Then safety standards reared its ugly head and these parasites could actual make it to retirement. Now, all manufacturing has left. Coincidence? Be a man, die for Capital

Apparently over there if you are a manager and you force your employees to work in dangerous conditions or for a longer than normal shift, you are personally liable for any injuries that may occur. And when I mean personally liable, I mean you end up paying for all of the expenses and care that they need. For some odd reason, people don't do a whole hell of a lot of overtime over there, nor do they skimp on PPE.

Like the South African asbestos miners (some of whom were literal children) in the 1960s and 70s who were all dying of mesothelioma in the 1980s and 90s. The company just kept all of their compensation claims in an endless circle of appeals and countersuits in UK courts until they were all dead. Don't have to pay workers comp to dead guys. Especially if those dead guys were poor, black South Africans.

It's probably an aerogel, those have extremly low thermal conductivity, but grabbing a glowing hot one still feels fake (even if it's real).

And when I mean personally liable, I mean you end up paying for all of the expenses and care that they need. I think that clause kicks in at shifts longer than 10 hours. And that includes driving to/from a customer if your workplace is normally defined as in the office. I think your boss can even be held liable if you do a 10+ hour shift, and then have an accident in a personal vehicle on the way home from the office.

The small cubes are aerogel, as you can tell by how little they weight when picked up, and the incredibly low thermal conductivity as seen in the corners being cool enough to touch while the faces are still hot enough to glow yellow. The larger bricks are the older, heavier material used in the shuttle tiles.

God that poo poo owned would ride it like a million times in a row. King's Dominion ruled. quote:On the evening of August 23, 1999, a 20-year-old man was thrown from the train's final turn at a speed of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) sustaining a fatal head injury upon contact with a steel walkway. Shockwave and two similar rides at other Paramount amusement parks were immediately closed. The event was originally reported as "an accident [that] resulted in the death of one park visitor,"[4] but further investigation proved otherwise. Bolstered by numerous eyewitness accounts, the cause was later attributed to the victim's disregard of park safety rules as he was seen intentionally freeing himself from restraints. In addition, an inspection found the safety restraints to be working properly at the time of the accident. Shockwave was reopened three days later on August 26, 1999.[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock...ately%20closed.

They seem safe enough, they have an operator watching inside the entire time, and they stop you from doing anything dangerous like going upside down (only dangerous when the ride slows down at the end and you fall on your head). I'm sure they're death traps in the states though for the same reason everything with moving parts is dangerous in the states. Under regulated, under trained, under enforced.

as a former US based amusement park ride operator i had to undergo more rigorous training and drug testing than the cops getting overtime for jacking off in the parking lot. edit- it was one of those teacup spinning ride for parents and young children. you haven't heard of the park, it was extremely small and regional and closed down nearly 15 years ago when the married couple who owned it sold it to a landfill developer and lost their money trying to setup a swinger's resort in one of those waterless islands off the coast of florida drug runners have tiger fights on.
