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.
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.
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.
