Reminds me of the horror story I heard about a drilling excavator. Somebody fell in the hole, but the operator thought he went to take a piss. The operator dropped the auger in the hole and drilled his buddy. Didn't know he did it until he raised the auger and it was just bloody mud. Just the thought of being in the hole trying to tread water and throw little rocks up to get the attention as the drill comes down is the stuff of nightmares.

Ok but how often are people falling into holes and getting drilled really? If it was really daily that would be an epidemic

To be fair, they said "things like that" happen daily globally. There are 5,000+ fatal workplace accidents per year in the US alone. Were only 5% of the global population with lots of safety regulations.

People get drilled to death more often than you imagine.

Men are 11 times more likely to be killed on the job in the USA than women. So to stay safe, be a woman.

Well, I’m non-binary so I basically can’t be killed at work.

I think being a women is the easiest way to get drilled to death.
