My dad is obsessed with the concept of powering cars with super fast flywheels. It will be super great when a car crashes and that flywheel binds up and wants to get rid of its energy.

Being that the car's electrical system does not have any potential relative to the Earth, it seems like the bigger hazard is trying to move around and jump out without contacting two parts of the vehicle that are now unintentionally at a different potential because of the failure.

If the car was on fire, of course you gotta get the hell out but if it was just throwing some kind of electrical failure warning I'd think you should wait for the safety crew to throw the external switch before moving.

They just tell the driver to jump clear of the car. The track workers have rubber gloves to protect themselves.

This reminds me of when a pipe next door to a comm room burst at work. It busted through a wall and sprayed water directly into an ethernet patch panel. The cable dogs had to replace all the horizontal runs because the water seeped several feet into the cables. Luckily I wasn't there when it happened. I don't know how they dealt with it because the water hitting the patch panel would have just dripped down to the floor tiles where all the power connections were.

Just stand on the tub or the sink to access the controls. It seems like you can either be tall enough to reach the controls, but too tall to use the toilet, or short enough to use the toilet, but too short to access the controls.

When I used to work in public housing maintenance, we had a specific code for the toilet roll holder because of how often tenants managed to snap them off the wall. God knows why they were exerting so much pressure on them.

They were standing on it so they could do their laundry, dummy.

Let me introduce you to The Oven of Akhnai.

Rules Lawyering is a deeply ingrained part of the Jewish faith.

So this guy says that the oven fits their rules and everyone else says "NUH UH" so then he gets god to do magical acts to signify that he is correct, and then god directly speaks to them and says "hey, this guy is right." But then the other guy says a quote from the torah and everyone agrees that it proves the first guy is wrong because they disagree with him. So then the second guy banishes the first guy in the name of unity. Then later says that he talked to god and god was super happy that they defeated him. I expected to see "and that Rabbi was Donald Trump" at the end of the wikipedia page.

Ok, I see that now, but that makes even less sense. She got shot in the back, so the bullet had to go through the door and then hit her. Did the guy just assume the dog was on the other side of the door and shoot through it?

I remember when I was driving up to colorado with my friend in her Jeep Cherokee. i'm driving on a snowy highway going as fast as I feel is safe with 4wd. Then this guy in a car kept trying to pass me. He would get a little ahead of me but then his car would go a bit too fast and would get squirrely and he'd slow down. I kept thinking "Jeez dude, gently caress off. I don't want to get into a wreck just because you're an idiot." I don't know how he planned on getting over because the center line was pretty much just slush and ice.

What if they just made a shabbat ambulance like a shabbat elevator. The ambulance automatically drives to every house, so if someone has an emergency they can just get in without having to operate a phone and it takes them to the hospital (eventually, after stopping at every house on the way).

Rules pretty much exist for the "it's ok, I know exactly what I'm doing and what can go wrong" people. You seem like the old hand in a very special sitcom episode or drama where someone new shows up and starts changing rules so everything is more safe. You say "I don't need your rules, I've done this for 20 years." Then at the end of the episode, people are in the break room, the lights dim, there's a big buzzing down, a crash. Everyone runs into the room and you're on the ground saying "I don't know what happened." Then the new guy says "If you had only followed the rules I set out, this wouldn't have happened. Then everyone learns an important lesson.

My only OSHA dad story is that when I was really little my dad got me to ‘help’ with some woodwork.

He handed his tiny idiot son a 15kg industrial clamp which promptly slipped from his baby hands and smashed his foot bones. Mum was not impressed.

I’ve always had a weirdly discoloured toe.

My dad wanted me to crawl into a confined space full of bugs to check the spa for leaks when he could have just unscrewed the wood panels that were over there.

Did anyone else make stun guns out of disposable cameras when those still existed? I'm surprised we never got in trouble for those, even after accidentally shorting one on a napkin dispenser in the mess hall and making sparks fly. Cadet camp was fun as heck.

https://youtu.be/EtIimoxpN9c

My supervisor once told me about a potential OSHA thing that was prevented by a security violation. A guy wanted to make a rail gun so he brought a bunch of disposable cameras into a SCIF (classified area) and decided to get rid of the film by just taking a bunch of pictures of the floor. He was going to use the capacitors to make a railgun somehow.
