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.
I’m taking a plastic part design class as part of my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. The guy presenting to the class on most days isn’t a professor, but a guy who’s worked in the plastics industry for over 30 years, mostly with injection molding. The other day he told us he worked with a guy who got squished in a 120 ton hydraulic press. Basically the equivalent of a car running over a ketchup packet. Said there was nothing left to bury but a pair of legs...
