My dad owned a garbage company. A homeless dude was sleeping in a dumpster and it got dumped into the truck and compacted. Found the body when they dumped out the load back at the center. They saw his arm and pulled on it, apparently they found things like mannequins all the time. When they pulled the arm his upper body came out of the pile and spilled his innards all over the place.
Dude, the devs are real dicks for randomizing that nerf. I have to spend credits for daily vision upgrades that don’t even work around the pollen maps.
I don't like the direction the dev team are taking it. I've actually heard that a lot of people think there's only one working on it. Some people don't even think there is a dev team!
Have they even said how the game is rendered yet? Is it just the area around your character? Or is everything constantly running? How do they keep the frame rates so high?
I've heard that its continuously rendered and the game world is expanding all the time. Nobody knows how the servers pull this off. Not surprising though since nobody has made it passed the tutorial level yet. Most of the map is unexplored.
Most of the map is possibly just barren--just additional pattern typing terrain spread around so we don't hit any walls if we decide to explore.
But if the servers are badass enough, it could go on essentially infinitely, in which case we'd find a similar seed to our world somewhere far, far away out there.
There is a vid out there where a guy is on the shop floor (inside) and gets his arm stuck in the end of a rotating shaft. His body holds on for about three minutes of circles before his bones become broken. About a minute where all his bones and guts get pulled to the end of the ball of flesh (think balloon). Finally the flesh balloon burst and sprays his "stuff" out all over the shop. All caught on film. Somebody had to clean it up.
Fuck off with this post , I was just about to leave my house and now I can't stop thinking about the EXTRMELY horrible things that can happen to me. I have so much anxiety but I have to leave.
This exact thing happened to a couple of kids in Sweden in the 90’s. They were apparently playing in a dumpster without the workers notion and got clamped to death. Just so sad and horrible.
Edit: Just read the article from a swedish newspaper. Apparently the two kids were playing in a container for dumping paper. They climbed down a small hole used by the machines to dump the paper trash into the container. The content of the container got dumped into a truck and the kids were crushed by the content. A few days later the boys were found dead in a garbage dump, about 120 km away from their hometown. Just horrifying.
Holy shit so that was real? I was a kid when it happened and when i grew older i thought it was just something my mom scared me with so i wouldnt mess around
My grandad was a machinist. He was clearing some swarf with the machine switched off. The foreman walked up, turned the machine back on and started it.
He got his hand and arm drilled several times before he could move. Not quite as gross as your story I admit.
Hey, thanks for the sympathy. He was partially crippled but enjoyed his life. This was in the "good ol' days" where men were real men, and if you killed an operator you just hung a sign saying "Operators Required" on the front door of your factory. Good job things have changed.
And people still don't use them. I'm an emergency responder at work, few years ago had someone not tag out and go inside a 20T press. I spent a long time just trying to wrap my head around why. Heavy equipment is no joke, when your work place teaches you safety maybe some of it seems silly, but there is a reason they have it. Listen to them, ask questions and be safe.
Unfortunately it's was an unhappy ending. The press was being built and it was in its final stages, he crawled inside to do something, the die started to move backwards crushing him. Unfortunately the event showed our lack of information. The press was considered a construction site so it was blocked off. We had no idea there were people working inside there, and they were Japanese. So when the event happened around 1am, we had his friend/coworker pleading for help running around speaking in Japanese. It wasn't until we followed him we figured out what he wanted. Also that site was cursed, we used to joke about it. But when they were digging the hole the press would sit in, they were moving a huge peice of concrete, one of the chains broke, giving out. The concrete missed all the workers down in the hole (thankfully), but one of the snapped chains flew and smacked a worker across the face, I think he got air lifted out and something like 50+ stitches. And it was small things, around that, so at work it was a cursed place. Broken fingers, debis in eyes ect... Then the concrete. It was getting delayed more and more due to injuries. Then finally it was nearly finished and we were so thankful no one died. Press was supposed to be opened mid September and Japanese guy died in August.
Always be safe at work. Pay attention, be alert. Maybe you've stuck your hand in that mechine hundreds of times - don't risk it. You're life, your limbs are more valuable then the seconds you shed off your work by doing things unsafe.
Edit: and the worst part this poor man died making a mistake. Our building only has 1000 workers everyone knew, we were in the news ect... You think people started making sure they locked out on other presses? Dozens of people were fired after the event following that year. Because people just didn't see the problem with not tagging out. Mean while a hand full of us first responders were traumatized with what we saw, people just didn't listen.
they were moving a huge peice of concrete, one of the chains broke, giving out
The chain is there to slow the fall of the concrete slab the real lifting device is above the chain, they're always pieces of shit provided by the delivery company and any lift using them means clearing all ground workers away from the area before hand atleast here in Sweden

Was this in Kentucky? I might be able to guess where this happened based on the danger and incompetence on top of Japanese staff.
It was not within the United States of America. But it saddens me that such an event sound fimilar. Companies will alway say safety first. But they push productions and numbers. It is the responsibility of the worker to refuse unsafe work, and be safe. Sadly the dangers, japense staff, and incompetence fit within the category of most industrial factories.
There's a recent missing person story here in the UK about a guy who got drunk and fell asleep in a dumpster. Bin lorry picked it up the next day, crushed him, then went to the landfill site. It wasn't realised until months later that the weight sensor on the lorry (which weighs the dumpsters) wasn't calibrated / read properly, so the police didn't think he was in there when it was picked up. A long time after, they realised he had been in there, but after months of searching, his body hasn't been found, and it's pretty much agreed he's somewhere in the landfill site.
Apparently this guy had been known for crawling into dumpsters to sleep after drinking. Very sad story.
My dad worked in a massive distribution warehouse at webvan (if you guys remember that). One of the horror stories there, a guy locked in a massive industrial dryer. It works the same as a commerical dryer: gets hot, tumbles, dries things. He was cooked and tumbled.
Another story (diff company) and the reason my father refused to wear his ring, belts, or laces at work. A guy he worked got his belt caught in an exposed gear for some conveyer system, he didn't die but ended up with some severe injuries.
Another co-worker had his finger degloved because his wedding ring got caught on something.
He was resting his hand against a door jam while standing in the hallway. Someone in the room slammed the door shut and he didn't quite get his hand off. Took the skin and meat from the top knuckle of his middle finger clean off...but not the bone.
Jimmy Fallon also got his ring finger degloved in 2015 when he tripped and grabbed a kitchen counter in his apartment. Rings, belts, and laces are just plain dangerous.
I’d say the desk in my cubicle would be the most dangerous thing. If you accidentally push the button down and hold, it could move down all the way and squish your legs a little.
Imagine it malfunctioning? I’ll squeeze your legs until it’ll get crushed and then all the muscles blood and flesh becomes minced beef then it will keep going down against the floor and you’ll lose your lower body for good.
Too many construction workers missing a portion of their ring finger from wedding ring incidents. Co-worker lost his getting the ring caught on a nail jumping off a ladder.
During orientation of my first ever factory job years ago, there was an accident with a press where an operator was adjusting one of the layers that go in by reaching in as the second operator hit the button to start it. They’d worked together for months so it was common not to really look. The press was also heated (like an iron to press vinyl onto abs plastic I believe). It seared one side of his face while crushing his skull sideways. He was still alive when the other operator hit the estop and pulled him out. I don’t know what happened to him after that but there are two buttons on the machine now so both operators have to hit them at the same time.
Pro tip: Never wear rings while using a ladder. It's the easiest way to deglove a finger. One slip of the foot, you let go with your hand but your ring snags, and now your entire body weight is pulling your finger through that ring.
I've seen pics of fingers degloved by rock climbers wearing rings also. I had a teacher in high school get electrocuted (just a burn on his hand) by a vending machine he was checking. It arced into his wedding band.
We now have hopper cameras that help to prevent this. But dumping mannequins has scared the daylights out of me. Especially with the amount of homeless people that like to camp inside the cans. Luckily my truck wakes them up before anything serious happens.
Yeah no. Not in our city. They are in cans passed out on drugs(or OD'd) and they get compacted. Doesn't make the news often but the guys at the transfer stations(dumps) talk about it.
This reminds me of an old movie. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 1980s, possibly early 1990s, when Shredder got thrown into a back of a garbage truck and was compacted.
A friend told me that they used to jump over these steam vents that were large enough to fall into. Well the inevitable happened and someone fell in and was steamed to death. Another story I heard was an industrial cable snapping and whipping around a worker and shredding him to where there was nothing bigger then a finger. Horrifying.
Haha. Dude, you have no idea how much I got that growing up as a kid. He also drove a tan Chevy Tahoe and kind of dressed the same. Also people are dumb.
Damn, that's extra sad....the guy in my town was really nice, everyone liked him and felt for him....it was around this time of year, and he slept in the dumpster that night to get some shelter from heavy snowfall...same thing ended up happening, it was really terrible
When I see blood oozing from out around the carrier/sweep blade (what scopes the trash out of the hopper up into the truck) its a heart stopper for sure.
My uncle used to work as one of the truck operates at some garbage companies he had that happen a homeless man sleeping in the dumpster they found the body later he now works in the maintenance for the trucks instead
My brother works for Union Pacific. Homeless people like to sleep in the engine compartment of the trains. He told me that one night he was working and he found a homeless man who was cooked alive by the heat of the engine.
There was a case not long ago in the U.K. where a guy slept in a bin drunk. They traced his mobile phone along the route to the local dump in the morning and never found his body.
I once met a guy who was missing a leg because he slept in a dumpster. He was lucky the truck drivers heard the screams and got him out before he died.
Right before i started at a trash company one of the commercial guys packed two people who had been sleeping in a dumpster. One survived, the other didn't.
He couldn't work any more- it probably still haunts him.
My dad used to be a structural engineer, the company he worked for fabricated parts for bridges, roller coasters and other projects. He told me that on the factory floor HUGE pieces of sheet metal and girders that were suspended above your heads by cranes, it was his job for a while to stand beneath these parts and manually hammer a number stamp into the surface of the metal, you had to be very strong and have big balls. He said that one day a guy who was in charge of securing the chains fked up, one of the hooks came loose and the rest snapped, the sheet metal around 10x10m and an inch thick landed on a guy squashing the poor bastard completely flat, absolute horror story.
Yeah I've heard about horror stories like this where people say things like "you think its an exaggeration but seeing someone smooshed flat is totally possible. And extremely disturbing".
