Its said "regulations are written in blood" which I'm beginning to think its no the blood of intelligent people exploited by greedy employers but in fact idiots with no self-preservation instinct.
Greedy…not spend the little extra to design machinery with sensors or safety features to prevent the deaths of people who inevitably make bad decisions.
Sometimes, there isn't a camera conveniently pointed at the person about to justify the next round of regulations the way there is here.
Also, even people who don't have the stomach for watching people get reduced to a red smear on machinery can benefit from watching mannequin style animations.
I work in maintenance on machines like this. They usually start up based on a photoelectric sensor (looks a bit like a laser), it detects that the laser is blocked and then starts the crushing cycle.
Those 24V sensors are extremely low power (think, say, your TV remote control), yet they start up a chain reaction that energizes the hydraulic pump
Before climbing into the thing i would want to personally unpower the damn thing, tagout lock what ever power attachment it uses and read a manual to confirm it has no internal battery that could fuck me.
And only then do i climb in.
Anything less and it just looks self inflicted to me tbh
Used to work at a place with a compactor like that. If ever anything got stuck, machine or paper, i would lockout and tagout, use spare wood /pallets to support the top just in case and try to use machinery to pull everything out ! Climbing in was a last of the last resorts.
First day at a job my supervisor wanted me to crawl into a bailer because a pipe or something got jammed it the side, I went to go shut it off because I literally just went through the safety procedures of that machine and he told me to just go and quickly and pull out the pipe he'll keep an eye on me. I said no and he threatened to fire me, I told him to fire me for refusing to put my life in jeopardy I could use the lawsuit money. He went in himself and took the pipe out and called me a wuss
It was my first day actually working, I had done training and computer stuff before hand, and the day before I had watched a video about proper procedure when dealing with a bailer. The video really emphasized the lock out procedure and how the bailer will easily crush a full grown man with as much effort as it crushes cardboard. I was like 18 and was way to scared to step into that machine.
Very common in places like grocery stores that receive a metric fuck ton of cardboard wrapped items and packaging from delivery trucks on a daily basis.
They're also used for the metric crap ton of plastic film that stores have. A huge plus is that it makes the film recyclable because loose bags and such clog up recycling machinery.
I worked at a grocery store that had a bailer similar to this. The store manager kept complaining about down time turning the machine off to do anything inside of it. The thing took 3 minutes to cycle back on. I made a dull rebar hook and hose clamped it to a flexible rod, all crap from my dad's junk pile. No more turning it off, just reach in with the 2 meter rod with a hook. Got a $3 raise for that.
When I was in my early single digits, there was a local grocery store that my mom would drag my brother and I to every week. They had these metal guard rails to separate the lanes and one of them was broken at the top. I used to play with it and pull the top out and watch it drop back in, you can probably see where this is going. Well it was always a little too heavy for my young self and I lifted once and it dropped and cut a good chunk out of my pinky finger. I freaked out, my mom started raising hell. The manager came out, comped my mom's groceries and the nice guy that always helped my mom carry her groceries out to the car was extra nice this time. I'm 44 now and I don't know why that memory has stayed with me all of these years, but it has. Oh, the next time we went there, the guardrail was fixed.
The rest of the video is so much worse than you imagine.
This is your warning to stop reading.
The press closes completely, reopens, and he crawls out of the machine, hipbone clearly visable. He flops out, and the blood starts pooling around him as he screams, painful screams, for help. He drags himself along the floor while screaming, leaving behind a blood trail straight out of a horror slasher. Legs no more than flattened meat bags of bone shards. Even with the poor video quality, the exposed fractures are clearly visible as the bone petrudes in multiple places from either having pierced the skin or the skin itself having been pealed away. As he crawls off screen, the amount of blood he leaves behind forces you to draw an erie conclusions about his fate.
Everything was crushed, it can take a few minutes to bleed out to the point of unconsciousness. You have large arteries near your pelvis, a crushed pelvis will rip arteries to shreds
There have been multiple times in my life where I've not done something because of that sub. For example, I've thought "I could lean over on this ladder to grab that thing." and then thought, "Or no I shouldn't, because I watched someone do that, fall, and break their neck." So I got my ass down the ladder, moved it the three feet, and went back up.
Sometimes you need to be shown the worst case scenario for something.
r/watchpeopledie is why I wait for drivers to acknowledge me before I step into the street and why I triple check service disconnects/the power is off before working on anything.
There have been multiple times in my life where I've not done something because of that sub
Absolutely this. If you filtered out the cartel and ISIS stuff for just industrial/firearm/automotive accidents it was one of best cause and effect learning tools out there.
People can be told all day why it's a bad idea to record a TikTok while driving a speeding car or walk behind a reversing forklift in a warehouse, but actually seeing the results of the poor decision is worth a thousand words of warning.
My bil did, in fact, break his neck because he didn't move the ladder. The doctors didn't realize it was broken until nearly a year later, at which point he had surgery and a halo cast. He's still going strong 47 years later.
Similar ish story, I was playing a VR game and threw my virtual hotdog so high i thought of using my bed as a ladder to reach it. Then i remember all the swift death clips I probably shouldn't have seen to remind myself how fragile life is and now stupid it would be to die over a digital weiner. So, I just restarted my game.
Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it. I heard that drivers Ed used to show car accident aftermaths and idk when that stopped but judging by the way other people drive we need to bring that back.
That's exactly the same reason I watch these videos. I go on a bend like once a year. Sometimes you need a refill on that respect when you become a bit to complacent working with heavy machinery.
Most people don't get when I say I miss WPD, but you get it. We learned so much from it, every post taught you what to do to survive certain situations.
A friend's brother was killed on a farm a few years ago when he got into a bale processor (think a giant blender). I never heard exactly what happened but the machine started when he was in there...
Ther is no reason to be going into machines like that when the engine is running.
A friend's colleague worked in a roof tile factory. He was working inside the kiln where they fire the clay. They worked with proper lockout procedure where they inserted a metal bar with a lock in the mechanism that prevented the doors from closing and the machine from feeding the tiles in. A new guy wanted to start the kiln, he was met with the metal bar and lock, and decided to use an angle grinder to get the lock off. That colleague died, chicken run style, in a kiln.
Even if you follow proper procedure, someone else might ruin your day...
This shit is way too common. People meeting something locked or some security measures, and they think they are clever by removing it or disable security handles. I feel that kind of behaviour is even reinforced by people, like a "let's get this done with" way.
You can climb into machines after de-energizing and locking out the ability to re-energize the machine. Any moving parts should also be blocked from being able to move
You know that, I know that, a good number of people (generally maintenance techs) know that. It's scary how many people don't know, or worse, choose to ignore that.
I remember a workplace safety poster that said "He said he'll only be a minute... the machine didnt care" with a picture of a chalk outline, the area tapped off for an investigation, and a bloody piece of machinery.
The message was clear, machines do not care. If something tells it to run, it will run.
Not just running. Any state change could cause dangerous movement. Pressurising or depressurizing lines. Triggering a safety that causes it to move to a failsafe position. Deenergizing a solenoid. Getting somthing unstuck that was blocking the machine.
After some horror movie I never wanted to see, I will be afraid to put my hand down where the garbage disposal is, even if the power to the whole town is out and the switch is in the off position.
This applies to any machine I operate lol I be triple checking everything is right with that shit it I am not touching it. Except my car. Too much trust there 😕
People in and out of the industry really underestimate how important lock out tag out really is. I work in IT but go onsite to enough industrial type places that I've had plenty of inductions which go into lock out tag out (that I've never had to use since I don't work in automation or anything like that) but the importance doesn't really get driven home until seeing things like this.
Most of tampered with the trigger that prevents it from going down when it's open. Some guys do that at work because they don't want to break down the cardboard boxes, even so there is still a power switch he could have turned off.
I'm aware of Lock Out, Tag Out. The average worker who's tempted to climb into to clear a jam isn't. My point was that safeties exist that could've prevented this accident.
I always turned the machine off at the wall and locked it out when getting in these. It only takes once, someone hitting a button or a cleared obstruction activates it like here.
Do people just have no survival or self preservation instinct? Like oh lemme crawl into this giant piece of metal capable of crushing with several tons of force
I’ve seen the full version of this, and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever watched. The guy’s screams were heart wrenching. Videos like this are the reason I’ve stopped looking for factory jobs entirely.
I do security and even our training can be brutal. I've watch snuff training videos for security. Like one where a cop pulls a car over doesn't control the scene or retreat when he sees the danger start. All these dudes pile out attack him and shoot him with his own gun. All on the cruiser dash cam.
Another where a detective has a guy in an interview room but he hasn't been searched properly. Guy pulls a snub nose pistol out...
And other videos all real deaths from people letting their guard down.
Complacency kills. Every time I train a new guard I rail that home. Your safety first, never let your guard down.
There's no way that machine should operate with it's gate open like that, they always have an interlock to prevent that, someone has had been fucking about with it
I wouldn't trust that some idiot won't grab bolt cutters.
I'd do as broadcast engineers or radar people do -- pull the fuse carrier block and put it in your pocket. This is also the reason why you will find spare fuses around a transmitter room - but never, EVER find a spare fuse carrier block... EDIT: one less thing to worry about when you're nostrils deep in a combiner 750 feet above ground level. Just touching it is instant courage. ]
Also, don't presses like this have prop columns that insert between the plates that are strong enough to override the hydraulic system at full honk, like the prop columns on skid-steers that you enter from the bucket end ?
Subs like this are the reason I unplug my stand mixer before removing the beater.
Every single time I'm tempted to be lazy and just rely on it being off, just saying "it's off, there's no way it'll get turned back on by accident"... and then I remember videos like this where you know the person probably had the exact same thought before it all went wrong. An accident with my stand mixer may not be able to cause as much damage as a machine like this, but it could still fuck up my day real bad so these examples remind me to treat it with respect.
I worked in stamping presses used in the automotive industry that went up to 1k tons and the lockout is no joke, Toolmaker inside of a hood stamping die was working on it during lunch and the operator just started up because he didn’t know he was in there..he didn’t pull the lockout.
Working in heavy industry, this just is amazing. You climb in to a machine which sole purpose is to sqeeze things and you dont cut main power.
I have been a working man at factories. There have been accidents but this is just something else. You really cant shield people from this kind of stupidity.
I watched the whole video on Facebook. I couldn't find any information on the outcome. His only hope is someone came in with a tourniquet. If not he more than likely died from blood loss or even crush syndrome. The way he was able to pull himself up and out of the machine shows the strength we have in dramatic situations. He was yelling out in pain the moment he was crushed all through pulling himself out and making his way across the floor. His moans got weaker and weaker sounding mimicking the death moan. It sounded like his superhuman strength was no longer there.
Some people have never watched a Final Destination movie and it shows.
Or an OSHA accident recreation animation

We should start making them all viral again.

Don't watch with children around...or if you're squeamish
Honestly the practical effects give it a good humor :) Very nice i feel like i can be a safe forklift driver
[I drive a pit Powered industrial truck similar but not exactly a forklift]
Exactly my thoughts! I felt like it emphasized safety with enough humor to get the point to stick.
Forklift safety.
Its said "regulations are written in blood" which I'm beginning to think its no the blood of intelligent people exploited by greedy employers but in fact idiots with no self-preservation instinct.
The greedy said they couldn't afford the safety training.
The greedy said they couldn't afford to have a supervisor available.
The greedy said the assigned task needed to be completed before the end of the shift, no excuses.
Greedy…not spend the little extra to design machinery with sensors or safety features to prevent the deaths of people who inevitably make bad decisions.
Why not both?
They really should show people the actual videos. Much more effective.
Sometimes, there isn't a camera conveniently pointed at the person about to justify the next round of regulations the way there is here.
Also, even people who don't have the stomach for watching people get reduced to a red smear on machinery can benefit from watching mannequin style animations.
Or an actual workplace accident.

Behaviour like that is why you can still type. It's weird how lax people can get around safety sometimes.
lack of education is a dangerous thing
You forgot residual pneumatic energy 😉
Ah.
WHELP Guess in my fictional scenario I didn't get to live then x.x
I never have, and I still have functioning brain cells. This dude doesn't.
First day at a job my supervisor wanted me to crawl into a bailer because a pipe or something got jammed it the side, I went to go shut it off because I literally just went through the safety procedures of that machine and he told me to just go and quickly and pull out the pipe he'll keep an eye on me. I said no and he threatened to fire me, I told him to fire me for refusing to put my life in jeopardy I could use the lawsuit money. He went in himself and took the pipe out and called me a wuss
Insults may hurt, but not as much as getting squashed by a bailer. Good on you for refusing.
It was my first day actually working, I had done training and computer stuff before hand, and the day before I had watched a video about proper procedure when dealing with a bailer. The video really emphasized the lock out procedure and how the bailer will easily crush a full grown man with as much effort as it crushes cardboard. I was like 18 and was way to scared to step into that machine.
Oh no, you were smart not to do that on your second day.
that guy had already lost his will to live after working there for years, you still had your whole life ahead of you! fuck that!
You weren't scared. You were smart.
They were scared because they were smart
What's a bailer
The thing in the video, used to compress cardboard. Think hydraulic press
didn't know they had machines specifically for cardboard
Very common in places like grocery stores that receive a metric fuck ton of cardboard wrapped items and packaging from delivery trucks on a daily basis.
They're also used for the metric crap ton of plastic film that stores have. A huge plus is that it makes the film recyclable because loose bags and such clog up recycling machinery.
baler*
(don't let these other guys above lead you astray!)
I'd have immediately reported that to HR. He's going to get himself or someone else severely injured or killed if he hasn't already...
Fuck that idiot farmer. Many farmers I know would be ashamed to have this dumbass as a fellow farmer.
Was a cardboard bailer not a farm bailer, I was working retail.
Oh jeez, I was gonna say what kind of farmer doesnt know someone who's had horrific farm accidents...
I worked at a grocery store that had a bailer similar to this. The store manager kept complaining about down time turning the machine off to do anything inside of it. The thing took 3 minutes to cycle back on. I made a dull rebar hook and hose clamped it to a flexible rod, all crap from my dad's junk pile.

you should have proceeded with the lawsuit
Never take orders from an idiot like that.
The rest of the video is so much worse than you imagine.

The fact that he didn't die from some sort of femoral artery injury is a miracle.
Who's to say he didn't?
I dunno, comments here said he didn't die
People just be saying shit bro.
The primary "source" for that info was comment on the original youtube saying he survived....that's it lmao
Tbf, humans can be surprisingly durable.
But also incredibly fragile.
eg you can die from a small cut (infection) but also survive a bolt through your brain.
Everything was crushed, it can take a few minutes to bleed out to the point of unconsciousness. You have large arteries near your pelvis, a crushed pelvis will rip arteries to shreds
You have less than a minute if your femoral artery is severed.
Yeah that's what I've heard. Maybe he did die 🤷
I met a guy at a bar who lost both his legs passing out on some railroad tracks, so I wouldn't think that's a hard and fast rule.
Thank you for that narration, Satan.

A friend's brother was killed on a farm a few years ago when he got into a bale processor (think a giant blender). I never heard exactly what happened but the machine started when he was in there...
Ther is no reason to be going into machines like that when the engine is running.
You heard exactly what happened. He got inside a giant blender and the machine started while he was in there. It's unhealthy to do so.
This kills the human.
A friend's colleague worked in a roof tile factory. He was working inside the kiln where they fire the clay. They worked with proper lockout procedure where they inserted a metal bar with a lock in the mechanism that prevented the doors from closing and the machine from feeding the tiles in. A new guy wanted to start the kiln, he was met with the metal bar and lock, and decided to use an angle grinder to get the lock off. That colleague died, chicken run style, in a kiln.
Even if you follow proper procedure, someone else might ruin your day...
I hope that jackass is rotting in prison without parole.
Also, that sounds like confined space entry to me. Who was watching the opening? Who was controlling the area?
This shit is way too common. People meeting something locked or some security measures, and they think they are clever by removing it or disable security handles. I feel that kind of behaviour is even reinforced by people, like a "let's get this done with" way.

Shake hands with danger~
Also 🎵 Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die🎵
I keep reminding myself that every tool in my workshop craves blood.
I won't even stick my hand in the garbage disposal until I've turned off the power to it at the circuit breaker. (And you shouldn't either!)
I don't have a garbage disposal. Those things give me the heebie jeebies.
Lock Out, Tag Out should be second nature.
And confined space training, including a watcher.
Lock out tag out!
More correctly, lock out all appropriate energy sources before entering hazardous spaces.
After some horror movie I never wanted to see, I will be afraid to put my hand down where the garbage disposal is, even if the power to the whole town is out and the switch is in the off position.
This applies to any machine I operate lol I be triple checking everything is right with that shit it I am not touching it. Except my car. Too much trust there 😕
Funny thing is I belive garbage disposal are pretty much designed to be incredibly difficult to injure yourself with.
People in and out of the industry really underestimate how important lock out tag out really is. I work in IT but go onsite to enough industrial type places that I've had plenty of inductions which go into lock out tag out (that I've never had to use since I don't work in automation or anything like that) but the importance doesn't really get driven home until seeing things like this.
I remember locking out and tagging out a compactor because I saw materials in it that would break it (metal in the cardboard compactor).
As I was climbing out I saw my boss plugging the machine back in and my least favorite coworker with an impatient posture.
I yelled at them so loudly that I damaged my voice and it hurt to talk for an hour or so.
I updated the lock out tag out from a carabiner to an actual lock.
In my job, removing any lockout -- even a carabiner -- is instant dismissal.
I mean it sort of was for me as well... because I found and applied to a job immediately after that.
God I'm so glad the video stopped. (Yes I'm aware I could have stopped it myself)
Oh this is just the short version. It keeps going.
Oh I bet it does. I've already seen first hand someone caught in a press.
I assume this ends in a fatality.
The amount of blood at the end would suggest that, but I'm not sure.
OP says he survived on the comment on the video
I'm guessing OP meant he survives to the end of the full video, because he does. I would be shocked if he lived a whole lot longer than that though.
No, OP commented days later that the person was still alive
Thankfully not. Though his nickname is now Lieutenant Dan cause he ain't got no legs.
If you read the main comment on the video it says he survived
Technically, he's now the short version
Anyone ever heard of Lock Out, Tag Out? SHIT!
All the bailers I've dealt with have gates that need to be closed to operate so the average person can't mindlessly climb in and crush themselves.
Most of tampered with the trigger that prevents it from going down when it's open. Some guys do that at work because they don't want to break down the cardboard boxes, even so there is still a power switch he could have turned off.
That's a guard mechanism, not a lockout. A lockout ensures that even if the machine's safety mechanisms are faulty the machine will not operate.
This is a vital distinction for people asked to repair a machine. Such as clearing a jam.
I'm aware of Lock Out, Tag Out. The average worker who's tempted to climb into to clear a jam isn't. My point was that safeties exist that could've prevented this accident.
For what it's worth I'm actually pretty sure he survived because in the full video he crawls out of the compactor
Technically can't stop the gif, you just have to leave the page lol.
Edit: nvm im blind.
Depends on the platform. On desktop you can right-click and select 'Pause'.
on the mobile app there's a pause button lol
There’s safe ways to do this and unsafe ways. This was obviously the unsafe way.
Not safe for work... on r/OSHA?!
/s
I always turned the machine off at the wall and locked it out when getting in these. It only takes once, someone hitting a button or a cleared obstruction activates it like here.
What machine is that?
Compactor.
So basically the worst kind of machine you would ever want to climb into 🤔 Unless you want to re-enact that scene from Episode IV.
And no droid to hack the computer and shut it down in time…
Cardboard bailer
Looks like a trash compactor
People squisher
It might be a compactor.
Do people just have no survival or self preservation instinct? Like oh lemme crawl into this giant piece of metal capable of crushing with several tons of force
I’ve seen the full version of this, and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever watched. The guy’s screams were heart wrenching. Videos like this are the reason I’ve stopped looking for factory jobs entirely.
Lockout? tagout? I'm just gonna WATCH OUT. I'm faster than uh, slow smooshers. I'm faster than everything until I'm not!
/s obviously
Were this dudes last five brain cells having a battle royale? Wtf?

Duuude that's really harsh!
Or, lock the machine out 1st with a device that only you can unlock.
Give me LOTO, and I'll jump in head first, feet first, or butt first. Depends on where the bolt/part is... XD
where is the rest of the video
No production tasks and production results are worth someone losing their health or life!
Where's the link for the whole video?
It’s on r/learningfromothers
Forewarning: It is graphic with horrific injuries and screams of agony, and is tough to watch even if you are used to accident videos.
How in the everliving fuck did he survive that?!
It destroyed his legs, not the rest of him
Lockout / tagout isn't enough.
I wouldn't trust that some idiot won't grab bolt cutters.
I'd do as broadcast engineers or radar people do -- pull the fuse carrier block and put it in your pocket. This is also the reason why you will find spare fuses around a transmitter room - but never, EVER find a spare fuse carrier block... EDIT: one less thing to worry about when you're nostrils deep in a combiner 750 feet above ground level. Just touching it is instant courage. ]
Also, don't presses like this have prop columns that insert between the plates that are strong enough to override the hydraulic system at full honk, like the prop columns on skid-steers that you enter from the bucket end ?
Subs like this are the reason I unplug my stand mixer before removing the beater.
Every single time I'm tempted to be lazy and just rely on it being off, just saying "it's off, there's no way it'll get turned back on by accident"... and then I remember videos like this where you know the person probably had the exact same thought before it all went wrong. An accident with my stand mixer may not be able to cause as much damage as a machine like this, but it could still fuck up my day real bad so these examples remind me to treat it with respect.

welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
I worked in stamping presses used in the automotive industry that went up to 1k tons and the lockout is no joke, Toolmaker inside of a hood stamping die was working on it during lunch and the operator just started up because he didn’t know he was in there..he didn’t pull the lockout.
I can’t parse what that means - was the lockout actually locked out, or did the toolmaker get killed?
He was killed inside the press because he didn’t pull the lockout/ deadman plug so the operator didn’t know he was in the machine
I climb into machines all the time.
I am very strict about LOTO though. (Lock off, tag out)
Lock Out, Tag Out? And even Try Out? LOTOTO is best practice.
I prefer LOTOTOCOWODOLO (Lock Out, Tag Out, Try Out, Clock Out, Walk Out, Dine out, Lights out)
I like your style.
Of course you try it out. That's part of the LOTO procedure. Key on your person at all times too. Hasp if there's two of you on the same machine.
Link to full vid for the morbidly curious?
Willy Wonka and the meth factory
I used to work one of these things at Target. It terrified me.
Anyone have full video?
It's on r/learningfromothers . It's pretty gruesome. The screams are horrific and there are dangly limbs and a red river as an aftermath
Just saw it, pretty gnarly 💀
You know what? I am going to crawl into machines even harder
Fuck this!
"Michael! Don't leave me here! Michael- MICHAEL!!! HELP ME!"
Shook his whole body with danger
Where is the full clip
I am Jack's complete lack of survival instinct.
I'd literally rather quit than go in there. He crawled in like it was his turn on the Tilt-a-Whirl.
China and India workers dont care.
Holy shizzle my nizzle! LOTO MF!! L. O. T. O.
Working in heavy industry, this just is amazing. You climb in to a machine which sole purpose is to sqeeze things and you dont cut main power.
I have been a working man at factories. There have been accidents but this is just something else. You really cant shield people from this kind of stupidity.
We have similar machine at work and there is big ass e-stop buttom on the front which stops the whole machine but even then I wouldnt climb into it
Shhh, it's natural selection
Reduction in force. Johnny just didn’t show up for shift the next day. “What? Oh that camera hasn’t worked in months. Yes, we put in a work order.”
I fixed it! 😆
The full video is sad because you can hear him crying and screaming 😱
I watched the whole video on Facebook. I couldn't find any information on the outcome. His only hope is someone came in with a tourniquet. If not he more than likely died from blood loss or even crush syndrome. The way he was able to pull himself up and out of the machine shows the strength we have in dramatic situations. He was yelling out in pain the moment he was crushed all through pulling himself out and making his way across the floor. His moans got weaker and weaker sounding mimicking the death moan. It sounded like his superhuman strength was no longer there.
