shipwrek posted:I work doing graphics and decaling including vehicle wraps. Had a guy come in with his shiny new hydraulic dumping trailer. Sales guy had promised we could wrap the whole thing no problem (including all the various control, pinch point and moving surfaces warning labels). I am of course not told about this and left them uncovered because, duh, they're safety and warning labels! Sales guy tells me to cover them. I refuse. He gets the big boss man who takes one look and fires the sales guy on the spot who had done this crap before. When I worked retail, I got treated like a crazy person for telling people that they should make sure not to cover the important product warnings when slapping clearance stickers on items. Yeah because how important is a choking hazard warning on a toy? No way that could be a big lawsuit.

ExecuDork posted:This is fantastic! Classic OSHA. I skipped through it, and the re-enactments get bigger-budget as you go along - at about 3:00 there's the mom-and-kids stuck on the track, which doesn't actually show the train hitting their car but does have the dramatic white-text-on-black names of the dead. At around 7:30 a girl gets squished by some rolling stock at a yard, and while you don't see the hit you do see the fun make-up job they did to make her look crushed to death. Then at 12:30 there's the big show-stopper: a group of teenagers bolt past the back of train number 1 going right-to-left only to get smucked by train number 2 going left-to-right. You see the hit, and there's a nice pile of pyrotechnics in the car. I love the presenter, he keeps insisting that the people aren't stupid, they just didn't think. What's the definition of stupid? And he has great glasses. This video is actually pretty good, though very dated. When you grow up around a lot of blind crossings with no lights, you get used to being careful around trains. The DM&IR used to come to our school to remind everyone about how to deal with blind crossings. I always remember them saying "Stop, turn off your radio, tell everyone in your car to shut the gently caress up, roll down your windows, listen for a train, then cross". That may sound like overkill, but kids still died every year at crossings in a region with an population of around 1000. There used to be a blind crossing in Cook right by the school and clinic where you couldn't see at all to the left until you were on the tracks. You had to listen every time. Don't gently caress with trains. They don't care.

Blistex posted:Vic Morrows and two kids were killed during the filming of a Twilight Zone movie. The chopper was hit by some debris from some pyrotechnics they were firing off and crashed. I think it took Vic and one of the Child's heads off and the other drown I believe. I think that was the incident that ended up causing a shitload of regulations to be written regarding stunts in film. Johnathan Laroquette on the podcast Uhh Yeah Dude has a great story about how his dad got his car stolen, and because he spent all day trying to track it down missed getting killed because he was late for filming that very scene.

In train talk, the Orlando metropolitan area opened SunRail (its first commuter rail smaller than Amtrak) last May. They've forced freight to travel on the tracks in the very late night and early morning when SunRail isn't operating to keep the system unclogged, but it means that there's now a ton of rail traffic that didn't used to exist. Being Florida, this inevitably means a flurry of accidents. Virtually every accident has been attributed to the driver getting impatient and trying to go around the gates, getting stuck or moving too slow, and getting struck by a train. Our drivers literally cannot handle regular train traffic. That said, there is apparently one crossing down south where the gate has opened up early and drivers are too dumb to look to see if a train is coming before roaring across. While most people would find the idea of looking before you cross every time a bit laughable, I should point out that this crossing is literally next to the train station. You can see the big white and yellow train parked there before you even cross.

PT6A posted:Why the gently caress would you build a blind crossing with no lights? That's just asking for trouble. Back in the day regulations were pretty lax about this sort of thing and it was A-OK to build blind crossings at sparsely populated areas - I mean, you get two-three trains a day and twenty cars max per hour, what are the odds of collision? Fast forward thirty years and suddenly there's a new suburb nearby and little incentive to fix the crossing, so a few fatal accidents need to happen before anyone can be arsed to install warning lights and beams. There was an accident near me a couple of years ago that took the life of a guy who tried to run the lights and the beams at a train crossing and got stuck between the beams, right on the path of an incoming freight train. This was in a crossing that sees a single train a day at most. Darwin awards have been awarded for less.
