The saw, guy, and darker wooden plank hit the ground in a basically perfect rimshot pattern. Good gif.

Expected the whole structure to collapse after the guy that didn't fall over cut that few feet of board, somewhat disappointed. Childhood cartoons have ruined me

I was working on some wiring on a truck with a dump bed like that. While the bed was raised we put a large piece of wood to hold it up just in case. While working under it, my co-worker lobbed a chunk of metal into the bed. I about poo poo my pants when I heard what I thought was the bed coming down to chop me in half.

Good times!

I think the piston disconnected from its housing. Or it buckled under the weight of the load when it got fully extended.

I think that cloud is aerosolized hydraulic fluid. Stab in the dark is a seal failure when it was fully extended and load wasn't moving.

Took like three views before I saw the figure running towards the truck run back off to the left. For a minute I thought they were under the truck when it came back down.

The core assumption of the OSHA thread is that everyone ends up under the truck.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.

In high school I did summer work for the township. At one point I was a garbageman, and I'm riding on the back of the truck when one of the cylinders for the compactor lets go, and I'm instantly drenched head to toe in hot, oily hydraulic fluid. Looked like I'd just been jizzed on by a giant. Felt probably about the same.

I think he was too close to the existing pile so when he tipped up, the load couldn't slide out. The cylinder I doubt is capable of holding the entire load at that height as by the time it is fully extended the weight should be diminishing.

It's not correct, the OSHA requirements for noise don't go away just because Restaurant. But it's extremely unlikely there's a restaurant anywhere in the country that hits the relevant noise levels. Even that absurdly-high 90dB restaurant called out in an editorial isn't going to sustain that level for an 8-hour period.


https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=standards&p_id=9735

It's not that there's no rules, it's that they're not enforced. I mean, for gently caress's sake, restaurant owners won't even meet their obligation to make sure their employees get minimum wage.

I posted a few pages back about working in a casino and honestly 85 decibels sounds like a sweet deal compared to a crowded gaming floor. Hell even an empty gaming floor.

You see the neat (awful soul-crushing) thing about slot machines is they have what is called an "attract" mode. Attract mode is where a machine that isn't being played will start making bonus and jackpot noises. They do this because when people walk in and hear all those bonuses and jackpots they figure there's some fuckin winnin' goin on in the casino.

The worst part of attract mode was when I was working overnights (only like 4-5 years). We closed up shop at midnight and my shift was 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.. So from midnite to 6 a.m. I sat in an empty casino with one other employee while the machines all went into attract mode. It only took like a year to drown out the hellish cacaphony of jackpot noises. We actually made it worse because we'd put all the TV's in the casino on one channel and then crank them up to drown out the machines. I definitely have tinnitus now. It's been almost a year since I left and I still catch myself humming or whistling bonus themes from different machines. Casinos are real fuckers.

One of the cops I used to work with told me a story from back in the day. He was called out to find what looked like a guy leaning under the bed of his truck. It wasn't til he got closer (and later investigation confirmed) that it turns out the guy had lifted the hydraulic bed, placed his head on the chassis, and then let the bed come down in order to kill himself. Urgh.

The cylinder should be strong enough to hold the entire rated load, exactly so that this kind of thing doesn't happen. Past that there should be a relief valve in the system that will allow the cylinder to retract if the load is too much.

MatteusTheCorrupt posted:

Either a hose blew off, or the cylinder housing cracked and blew open. I'm leaning towards the latter as it looks like there's some flex in the cylinder when it gets close to fully extended. My guess is that the box is overloaded, and someone has adjusted the relief valve to get more lifting power. We're seeing the result of probably dozens or hundreds of times of it being used in this manner.
