So I searched the last 10 pages for the OSHA topic, did it disappear again? I need more accidents. Here is the best of for inspiration:















Mod edit: Just as a reminder link and :nws: stuff that show obvious death occurring. Gratuitous gore will not be allowed.

Mod edit 2: anything more than a three page discussion is a derail. Open a new thread if it’s really important to you or others. Say “firefighter volunteers”. Plenty of room on these boards. Just want to keep this osha on track with diverse funny stuff. - Burt

Phoning in from Panama, where uncle Terry had himself an OSHA experience.

About 2 days ago, during our annual family vacation, we decided to build ourselves a bonfire on the beach.

This beach has brutal winds so lighting it with pedestrian means such as newspaper and oil, charcoal lighter fluid or kerosene seemed futile. I had prepared about a pint of "napalm" (just gas with Styrofoam in it) and had about 400 grams of thermate to ensure that the fire would start.

We arranged the logs in the traditional tepee shape, doused it liberally with the flask of napalm and set the thermate canister on top. I had prepared a 170 cm wooden stick with magnesium ribbon on the end to ignite the thermate safely. Which it did.

What didn't ignite safely was the gasoline. It exploded in a loving fireball out of Satan's rear end. There was a slight ignition delay, I remember going "yay" when the thermate started going and "fffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuck" when the fireball hit me half a second later.

There wasn't a lot of time for reflection, just my rear end in a top hat clenching like Simon Adabisi was watching me pick up a dropped bar of soap. I still don't know how or why I didn't catch on fire like the greasy goon that I am. When the fireball passed, I noticed my hair wasn't on fire, my face wasn't on fire and my hands felt as if I submerged them in a deep fryer so I sprinted a good 50 meters to the sea.

The cold seawater didn't help much. Egg whites and ice did. 45 minutes later, including arguing with a private clinic who wanted to shunt me to the public health center about 20 minutes farther on, and I ended up with both hands covered in silver sulphate.

Lesson 1: don't use gas for anything except putting it in your damned car.

Lesson 2: the worst part about burning the poo poo out of your hands is the delay before the burly black nurse gives you a shot in the rear end. 15 minutes down the road and I wanted to go back and give him a big wet kiss on his bald noggin.

Lesson 3: sometimes even Atheists can have miracles happen to them.

The ladder looks photoshopped (on the bottom left) either it's a joke that went over my head or it's just lighting. I just realize I've only seen that gif zoomed in.

If you operate or plan to operate a forklift you will probably learn more from this spoof vid than any bullshit 80's video they give u to watch.
It gets better after the first min or so.
I embedded it so more people can enjoy this crazy b-horror flick. Particularly five minutes in with the forklift.

Reminds me of the real life Silent Hill. Central Pennsylvania was a mining town, and on May 27, 1962 an underground fire started. It's still burning till this day.

I see a sign saying don't pump gas while talking on a cellphone. I see another sign saying don't pump gas into low-mounted orifices on my body. I don't see a sign discouraging speaking on a cellphone while pumping gas into a low-mounted orifice on my body.

If I live I bet I'll get super powers.

I see a sign saying don't pump gas while on a cellphone/rear end in a top hat but I don't see a sign for no lighters.

Speaking of tones/colors this one is my favorite optical illusion wise, if only for the fact that I know a and b should be the same color, and have proven it multiple times to myself they are, but my brain won't except it lol. And to me they don't look slightly different they look like two shades different.

He was perfectly happy to let other peoples' kids die on deregulated deathtraps.

This is literally the plot to a play called All My Sons by Arthur Miller. The play is about a man who owns a company and he cuts corners when building airplanes for the war. Long story short he is aware that people probably died because of his work, but refuses to believe his son died because of him. He finds out in the end the son was riding a plane and decided to commit suicide because he couldn't live with the fact that his father knowingly shipped faulty airplanes. The play ends with the father finally realizing he is at fault for his son's death, and ends with him saying they were all my sons. Okay so not exactly the same but same idea.
