Don't they say never to enter or exit an elevator if it's even slightly misaligned with the floor? I think I've heard that somewhere.

IIRC, their inner tube flipped over above one of the escalating devices, and the article used the phrase "masticated by the gears," which sticks with me.

This was at Dreamworld in Australia.
The report also used the phrase "injuries incompatible with life" iirc

This was invented by Temple Grandin, an important veterinary scientist. She's autistic and has written a lot about autism, and while this device was invented after seeing cows calm down once they're in the loading chute, she's talked about how it works on the same principle as calming autistic or hypersensitive people through mild restraint, squeezing, heavy blankets, etc.

Another fun flooring fact I just remembered! If you hit a nail while sanding the floor (happened all the time) the spark could make it's way into the dust bag and smolder there for hours before igniting the entire bag of super fine dust. I never saw it first hand but I heard stories of dust bags burning down homes or burning holes through the floor over night because the workers didn't empty it.

I worked for a guy who would get rid of the dust from the bags/vac by putting in it open trashcans in the back of the pickup and drive down the freeway. He was an rear end in a top hat.

I used to do that with leaves.

The report also used the phrase "injuries incompatible with life" iirc

There were six people on board, four adults and two children. The kids got to watch all four adults get mulched by the conveyor before the ride was finally shut down and they were able to escape.

And of course, it was entirely preventable:

quote:

Previous safety audits revealed a water level safety sensor which could have prevented the accident would have cost less than $3,000.

The company also failed to provide information, training, instruction or supervision necessary to protect people from risk.

The pump malfunction was the third that day and the fifth in a week, and no automated shutdown function was installed despite recommendations.

A decrease of 1atmo isn’t enough to trigger explosive decompression (like people like to think about when going out to space without a suit on). You’ll be bent to hell and back, sure, but you aren’t popping.

A decrease of ~9atmo in less than a second is enough, though :stonklol:
