A friend of mine had the same thing happen with a line of fence posts he crashed into after falling asleep on an s-curve with his daughter in a car seat in the back. He said when he stopped he was unhurt and his kid was laughing and having a grand olde time, but looking over at the passenger seat he realized that his wife would have been impaled through the chest if she had been in the car with them that morning .

I remember that thread. I found a security camera for a laundromat somewhere in Japan and lost days to it.

Double Robotics used to let anyone log into their beta ipad-on-a-segway thing at night to test drive it around a closed office. Like anyone on the internet, totally open login. I spent three weeks logging in every night and knocking it over as soon as I could. It was great watching the furniture and potted plants slowly disappear from the room as they tried to remove tripping hazards. They even ended up installing rudimentary collision detection that would slow the thing down when it detected an object near the wheels.

One night I got bored and repeatedly ran it screen-first into a door handle over and over until some lady who was working late barged in and yelled "what the hell do you think you're doing?!?!". So of course, I then used Manycam to stream meatspin to the iPad screen.

I think I saw a video on the YouTube where someone managed to wedge it under the door and get it to open, releasing the thing into their main office in the dead of night. When it got to the stairs leading down to the first floor I shuddered with glee, but the coward turned around and drove it back to the office. For shame.

This came up on my google news feed because they know I like Batman...

Lift comes down on top of woman on a movie set, paralyzes her. She wasn't even a stunty, just a production assistant.

https://www.citynews1130.com/2020/03/14/woman-paralyzed-while-working-on-set-of-batwoman-in-vancouver/

You could chalk this up as a freak accident, but a stuntwoman died in Vancouver a few years ago filming Deadpool 2. Two major gently caress ups like these should invite some more oversight.

There will be no more oversight. poo poo's been happening since cameras started rolling in BC and nothing ever happens.

Joi Harris was a professional motocross racer who was hired to double Domino on Deadpool 2. Although she was an accomplished racer, this was the first time doing stunts on a film. She had successfully completed the stunt in question five times, when on the the sixth take she overshot a platform, struck a curb, and was thrown helmetless through a plate glass window. During the investigation, the production claimed that it was "not possible" to CGI Zazie Beetz's face overtop a helmet, even though Fincher had done it with Rooney Mara in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo almost 10 years earlier. The studio received a Worker's Compensation fine, settled out of court with Harris' family, and the movie made a poo poo ton of money.

Late least year, Ron Perlman was driving a truck while shooting some non-union indie shitter in the Okanagan when he had a geezer moment and drove through video village (the area where the director and key crew members can watch what the cameras are capturing), running over a number of propane canisters that were being used to heat the tents, and causing a minor foot injury to one crew member. The producers reportedly attempted to continue shooting for the rest of the day, causing a number of crew members to quit. TMZ has footage of the aftermath.

In 2016, Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien was almost killed during a "vehicle transfer" stunt when he fell from one vehicle and was struck by the other. He suffered serious physical injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. The production was halted and it took O'Brien almost a year to recover.

In 2014, on the set of Falling Skies, a parked but un-chocked production truck rolled backwards down a hill, pinning a Teamster security guard against a tree and killing him. The tailgate had been lowered to load equipment, and was reportedly a factor in his death. I actually heard someone say that "he was cut in half by the tailgate, but being stuck in that position kept him alive, so they brought his wife and family to say goodbye before they moved the truck, which they knew would kill him, which reminded me of how stupid people fall for urban legends, and also that the M. Knight Shyamalan movie Signs was loving awful except for that one scene where Joaquin Phoenix is watching TV.

In 1998, Vancouver stuntman Marc Akerstream was killed when he was struck in the head by a piece of flying debris while watching the explosion of an empty rowboat on TV series The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. You may remember him as the gang member Jackie Chan fights with a pinball machine in Rumble in the Bronx. Akerstream was not involved in the stunt, but was watching the explosion from the shore when debris ricocheted off a tree behind and struck him in the head.

In 1997, local stuntman Keith Perepelkin was killed in Squamish, British Columbia during filming of blockbuster Howie Long masterpiece Firestorm. Perepelkin was dropped from a helicopter attached to a 50-lb dummy, but his chute failed or did not open. He had never completed a low-altitude jump before, was wearing a high-altitude pack with no reserve, and the helicopter he jumped from was reportedly only half as high as it was supposed to be per the stunt permit. A number of non-local members of the crew fled the country after the failed stunt. I don't believe anyone ever faced trial, even though the stunt coordinator, Glenn Wilder, and executive producer, Louise Rosner, were charged with criminal Workers Compensation violations. The production was eventually fined a grand total of $60,000, which was probably more than that piece of poo poo made after publicity costs.

This is just Vancouver and the surrounding area. Google 'Sarah Jones Midnight Rider' if this post didn't make you angry enough.

Edit for content: I used to (pre-covid) work as a steadicam operator, which is all running around film sets while bolted in to a heavy, expensive camera harness, and if I get time and people want I’ll write up some stories about the stupid poo poo me and others like me were expected to do as part of a normal day’s work by producers who haven’t heard of risk assessments.

At this point in the video you get a small peak inside the kiln while the gun is firing.

No it can be. Usually this happens in a situation where somebody has a really intense nod on and a inexperienced person thinks they are OD'ing when they aren't and hits them with it. To somebody who hasn't been around addicts a heavy nod where the person is mostly unresponsive (but breathing normally) can easily seem like a medical emergency. This will piss that person off when they are suddenly awake and sick. On the flip side in a true OD situation, the person who just got hit with the Narcan will not always realize how bad of a situation they were in and will make this complaint. It does actually happen.

I've been through a lot of poo poo in my life and precipitated withdrawals is by far the worst experience I've ever had. I am extremely glad that part of my life is over.

I can back this up, I know EMTs that have had people come out of an overdose combative because they don't understand (or don't care) why they're suddenly sober and not in the happy sleepy place.
