Is that even salvageable or is that an "amputate immediately" thing? :stonk:

I would be amazed if that could be recovered at all.

Any doctors in the house willing to give their opinion on this?


I went and got a bamboo one. The plastic ones generated WAY too much static electricity. I would touch my computer case and it would BSOD.

Educated his but with all the individual... pieces of arm hanging off would be too difficult to restore even the most basic of functions to the muscle tissue. So I'd bet on chopping it off and getting a good prosthetic.

We're a very real company, and i love parts of my job, so i won't be too harsh, but our money is never spent exactly where we really need it, as we're the only name in the game for our industry.

This results in buying fancy doodads that make us look high tech to investors, but behind the scenes it's just a lot of sweat, swearing, and determination.

eh, a lot of the time I'm either going on a whim on my own boat, or I'm on a commercial boat where I'm the only technical diver. I've never done a cave solo because I'm a much more experienced wreck diver than cave diver, even if the two have a lot in common. I also only do it on wrecks I'm very familiar with, or shallow reefs where basically nothing could go wrong. The one I've solo dove the most is a wreck tourists buy t-shirts saying they saw the outside of while I'm in the engine room with 300ft of line laid from the nearest entrance, and I stopped logging dives on it when I hit 100 a few years ago. Don't dive solo but I'm not going to lie either.

E: I'm not trying to make this thread about me. We have a scuba thread in a/t that covers all the safe and awesome stuff you can do with regular diving if you are interested, plus a few tech divers willing to answer questions about our insane death wish of a hobby

You should feel bad for getting complacent about your standards, failing to practice what you preach, being completely reckless, and bragging about it in the OPERATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION thread.

I hope nothing bad happens to you, but if it does I hope that is the last thought in your head.

A ship's anchor chain loses its brake and goes into runaway mode. If the old Norse gods wanted a chainsaw, they'd make it from something like this. Too bad smoke obscures the end. Look at how big the links are and guess at the amount of energy involved in the moving chain.

You can also calculate the speed and length of the chain by counting the white links!

You could combat both and just do a long incision. Expose the area to air killing the tetanus and not likely tear more poo poo up.

although it begs the question of what to do with the section that's gone through the testicles, do you bring in someone with some sort of heavy machinery to try and cut a part of it off so you have less to slide through, or do you just try and work that extra 3 feet of rebar back down through?

I think it's been a long time since this has been posted in this thread.

The Great White Station night club fire.


A bunch of people died for no good reason because the club had poor fire suppression systems and no real plan or protocols in case of a fire. People got jammed up in the entrance of the club, trying to get out when there were other exits that were either not marked or in the case of the exit next to the stage, had a bouncer refusing to let people through because it was restricted to the band only.

The building was not up to code but had passed recent inspections anyway. The fire started because pyrotechnics that were not meant for indoor use were set off inside the building. The sound dampening foam near the stage area was highly flammable and within only about a minute, the entire club was a raging inferno.

Never ever watch this loving video after the fire starts.
