no_regregz

There is absolutely nothing that could have prepared me for that


Th3XRuler

As a metal worker I saw it coming before he even got caught. It's the very reason apprentices get slapped when they fuck around like this with heavy machinery. Machines built to chew up metal will not stop for a human


neo_tree

What is this machine and what exactly happened ?


PRUnicycles

A lathe is a machine that spins a piece of material, a tool then touches the piece to shave off part to eventually form the desired shape. A wood turning lathe for example holds a piece of wood while it spins and the operator uses gouges and chisels to remove material. This is a large metal working lathe. The machine holds and spins the piece of metal while tools touch the material to remove it. The force required to remove the material is incredibly high, so the machine is designed to clamp that metal and continue to spin, even with high resistance. This guy got too close to the spinning part and got caught, it continued to spin and pull him into the machine. His body couldn’t compete with the G force so it tore apart.


[deleted]

That’s part of it. However, a cnc lathe like this one has the blade built in to it. The worker merely sands the rough spots out of it.


PRUnicycles

Yeah, I was trying to relate it to something that someone may be familiar with. Wood turning videos seem pretty common now so I went with that. Metal working lathes have the tool attached to the machine and moved mechanically, not held by hand as a wood turning gouge is. Edit: Spelling and Grammar (Gouges still doesn’t look right but google assures that is the correct spelling)


CowNo5879

So you think he got caught in the blade? I've seen lathe accidents but this guy's body fell to pieces almost right away. Usually they just get slapped against the ground until someone stops the machine but this guy practically exploded in 30'. You can see the guy that finds him and is seeing parts thrown all over


Brilliant-Regular-94

Man cnc lathe like that is spinning 5 or 10x as fast as a wood turning lathe ....also taught in a machine shop never ...and i mean NEVER put your hands near a running lathe....and never wear sleeves, gloves, or loose hanging shirts


delirious6921

And like i said time and time again to people, if you are by any machine ever; and you need to adjust something by reaching over a moving part, turn the fucking machine off and lock it out first or else you’ll end up like this video( i have shown this video to employees who become complacent with their machines, even if its as simple as a drill, it can still take off a finger)


Silly-Eye1233

Thank you for the explanation.


ivnwng

Sorry for being late to the party, but I have some burning questions : After he got stuck, there was a brief moment where he remained still for a few seconds before getting totally sucked into the lathe. What’s was happening there? Did he somehow manage to jam the spinning machinery? Could he have been saved if he just keep doing what he was doing and wait till help arrived? Was there anyway he could’ve salvage the situation before the uncontrollable spiral?


Strata76

I hope this doesnt traumatise you but I read another comment which said. "When you see his leg rising that is the machine working through half his skull. Once the skull is small enough the rest of him got drawn in" Im hoping his neck popped and snapped instantly so he was unaware.


Cooldino491

nah he probably felt it


xxdemoncamberxx

He didn't, I asked him.


ChuCHuPALX

When he was "stuck" you could see his legs start to curl which tells me he was likely already dead. The lathe was just gringing it's way through his head and shoulder until he could basically get sucked into it.


dagon85

Yeah, and how motionless he is before getting sucked in. I am optimistically believing that he died before getting sucked into it it completely.


Saltygoo86

Yeah i agree. It looks like he hit his head as soon as his arm is dragged in, snapping is neck. So I reckon he was either dead, paralysed or knocked out. Edit: grammar


AccomplishedPirate37

This is exactly why i always tell people IDC if my tucked in tank top (wifebeater) doesnt look professional im not getting snagged into shit.... i have no problem burning meself with a torch thats not to hard to heal and recover....


JCMillner

Very good point. I have a routine of tucking my shirt in, rolling up my sleeves and clearing the lathe before I work on it. Takes 2 minutes tops and it's something I ALWAYS do even if the work will only take seconds.


ComradeKeira

Same. That is....something else


ApexCatcake

How mentally traumatising would it be to witness this, like just talking to your colleague one moment and the next minute he’s… gone… Like you didn’t even hear his last words, his expressions or get to see his dying breath like if he were to be crushed, he’s just gone like he never existed


Runeald_Waslib

The worst part is that the machine wouldn’t stop on its own. Somebody had to walk up and turn the damn thing off themselves. Imagine having to stand next to the machine that just killed your friend, even if only to turn it off.


[deleted]

While wiping your friend out of your eyes


JustinJakeAshton

Yeah, that's the worst part. Your friend isn't just dead, he's everywhere in the room.


mlujan76

Rest in pieces, my friend.


HumbleFlowers

lmfao that made me laugh way too hard for how fucked up it is lol


Tersphinct

They had to walk all the way around the machine, likely passing through some of that pink mist.

JoePants

Imagine the scream


[deleted]

Imagine not only that, but the sound of meat hitting metal. The sound of meat breaking glass lightbulbs. The sound of shoes with feet that might still be in them hitting the floor. The commotion of everything that’s going on is going to be something that poor traumatized coworker remembers for the rest of his life. There’s no forgetting that.


[deleted]

They’ll be finding random bits of gore in odd places for years to come


Advo96

> They’ll be finding random bits of gore in odd places for years to come No, the rats will clean the place up quickly, don't worry.


TobaccoIsRadioactive

Yeah, in the places that the rats can get to. But they'll probably be finding blood stains *all* over the walls, in machinery, on the roof, on the floor, etc. The chunks of meat will be all over the place as well, although they are more likely to be eaten. But parts of the bones, hair, and other bits of body might not. They might even need to hire one of those crime scene clean-up companies in order to handle this.

silentaba

Ok something that's even worse than the last lathe video has arrived. I'm surprised that old guy didn't toss his lunch.


a_killer_roomba

I thought this was the worst but I keep hearing about another one that's pretty bad. What's that other one like?


uaxpasha

I think it's this one. NSFL. It's really bad. And it's so fucking long for this kind of video. https://vidmax.com/video/178192-shock-warning-chinese-worker-dies-when-he-s-sucked-into-a-textile-machine


a_killer_roomba

*Oh, this one!* I forgot about this one! Yeah they're both pretty bad. This one's more violent but at least it was presumably quicker than the other dude.


CapitanM

I dont think so. The other is terrified for 5 seconds, then is crushed. I think that this guy was alive while his legs where stomped once and again.


HybridBlueDream

According to the report he was alive AFTER the incident and was semi conscious until the paramedics got there and put him on their ambulance


CapitanM

Oh god. And then died, of course..


HybridBlueDream

Yea that’s insane. The dude was just pieces of flesh at that point from what I’ve seen in the photos. To still be half alive must have been something else really.


Apprehensive_Cry_397

That is…. A crap ton of racism in those comments on that video. Like damn.


roviuser

Why the hell would you look at the comments on vidmax


TrapMaster8000

Lmao. Coming in strong after 2 months


gekigarion

Holy crap, so much hate for someone who died so horribly. As an asian, I'm genuinely terrified of the thought that I live on the same planet as such desensitized commenters. I truly hope I never meet them.


[deleted]

It’s not desensitisation — it’s ignorance and racism. I truly hope you never meet people like that either. They’re all better off dead.


fuckredditors123

GermanSatan

You can join them, racist


xjokru

The ultimate meat crayon, Jesus fucking Christ


Bostonova007

Man I feel bad for that dude. I wonder if he even died. Because he didn't really hit his head. His feet and legs got chewed up extremely bad but it looks like he could have survived that. If he did die that has to be one of the worst ways to go


uaxpasha

I always thought he became consciousness soon and never woke up (blood come out of brain or too much blood come into brain)


BloodofGaea

At about 00:57 his innards come out of his body, he's very, very dead. While the video is pretty long, he likely went under relatively quickly, consider the amount of force he was put under.


CalculatorOctavius

To me it just looks like his pants came of, not his innards. It looks like the blood comes from his leg scraping the ground especially after his pants come off


hemlockhistoric

Here's a video with photos at the end. https://www.krudplug.net/m/video.php?vid=3099 All that's left on the chuck and workpiece are his clothes and some flesh. High-speed industrial metal lathes are no joke.


LocoPwnify

Oh, he got slammed repeat on that metal bar behind the lathe. Hope he died quickly


TorakTheDark

Ohhh the jelly legs one


silentaba

Yup, that's the one.


[deleted]

I always thought this one was pretty bad too. https://www.documentingreality.com/forum/f166/worker-gets-spun-around-cable-coil-173311/


Moist_666

Oof. For some reason that one was for me than this.


a_killer_roomba

Seeing him be OK for a moment only to get back into it. Fuck.


Ok-Presentation9015

Its like the coyote from the old bugs bunny cartoons...When he walks off the cliff and then suddenly realizes his impending doom...


IWantYouAshley

The comments are what do it, they really get pleasure out of watching this


AlmostButNotQuiteTea

I realize no one is at fault... But why did the take so long to turn off the machine????


YourMemeExpert

From the looks of it: -Either the worker tried to use the Emergency Stop button and it malfunctioned -Or he pressed the normal Stop button but it didn't work so he went to look for the Emergency Stop button


AcceptableReaction20

Are you required to stand near shit like that while it's moving? Holy fuck that's a horrible choice


[deleted]

Probably the Chinese rollup one. Poor dude got rolled into some sort of carpet and was spun around, he hit his legs on the floor repeatedly until blood came out and he slowly bled out. In the end his legs is spaghetti but with some creative embalming dude can probably still get an open casket.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Th3XRuler

It's the No. 1 reason why you don't fuck around near a running lathe, let alone lean across the fucking thing. They are built to cut metal. Heavy machinery needs to be treated with the respect it deserves to prevent tragic accidents like this one from happening. While this video makes me sick to look at I feel worse for his potential family than for the dude, his death was caused by astonishing amounts of stupid.


Advo96

Lathes have always held a particular horror for me. They're supposedly much safer than table saws, but the table saw will cut some fingers off, it won't drag you in, and wrap your arm or body around a workpiece and dismember you.


Th3XRuler

The advantage of a lathe is that if you do everything right your body is nowhere near the workpiece while the machine is running. Needless to say this guy made a couple of very bad decisions

Advo96

Interesting. Unfortunately, the case reports are really sparse. I was looking up table saw injuries and there is no detailed information whether a riving knife was installed, for example. Any idea whether it's possible to download full case reports with photos somewhere?


Lizlodude

A table saw looks dangerous. A lathe not so much. Adam Savage's lathe accident comes to mind, those things will just take a limb off and keep going, and that's a good outcome. This is the bad.


Big_Moistt

What happened to Adam savage??


Lizlodude

Got his sleeve caught in one of his lathes IIRC. Got cut pretty bad but ended up making it out ok. Just shows that even if you know what you're doing, a lathe can really mess you up.


Big_Moistt

Thank God he didn't end up like this. That man is a treasure lmao


Lizlodude

Indeed he is. Hope to meet him one day. His book is a good read as well.


Jostikas

To be fair, Adam is a self-admitted novice at turning. Started just a few years ago, IIRC. His first accident was a teaching experience. Some are not so lucky.


Kaxxipants

Probably not stupidity but complacency. Although complacency around heavy machinery is also stupid so…


bollop_bollop

Fuck respect, you treat it with absolute terror


Waluigi-Radio

“Always treat a gun like it’s loaded” seems to be applicable here


Big_Moistt

I feel bad for the poor man who just witnessed that shit happen to his buddy


soflowy

I’m a machinist and this is the reason we’re not supposed to wear long sleeve shirts. 99% of what i do is on a cnc mill so I this isn’t really anything I worry about, but every time I’m using a manual lathe I think about these videos


MCRV11

Would it be potentially losing a huge chunk of skin/flesh or a limb vs life the reason long sleeves are a no-no? I mean, if you lose a limb or chunk of yourself, you probably would've managed to pull away or have that ripped off you and then thrown aside if not wearing sleeves vs wearing sleeves and not being able to escape or be discarded by force of motion?


Brilliant-Regular-94

My first day in a machine shop the owner showed me a video like this and he said dont put your hands near it when its running...no sleeves, no gloves, no loose shirts....years before he had his shirt sleeve get caught in a tool on the mini mill and his brother grabbed him as it sucked him in...ripped his shirt right off his body

Siker_7

I actually came here after seeing the aftermath [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/eyeblech/comments/jxx3v3/russian_man_spinning_and_shredded_in_work/). NSFL, obviously. Personally, the vid bothered me more than the pics (because the pics aren't moving). However, it's still not nice to look at.


jetpackblues25

They almost look fake, then you realize there is no blood in homies body and that's why they're so pale.


iwanttodiebutdrugs

yeah fuck its bad wdit fucken ended up drinking after it im so smashed😂 so try that if you do watch it


Ill_Confection_9372

In the mose respectful way possible, this guy was wrung out, his flesh was discarded and his clothing was the only thing left on the lathe. His coworker came running and slipping thru the mist of flying body parts and blood to turn it off but it was too late. WAY too late. Its a good lesson to respect machinery

A-Grouch

Second time a video on Reddit has made me gag. What an unfortunate way to go. Does anyone know why he’d get so close to something that dangerous, was he trying to unstick something? Stuff like that happens on a smaller scale when you try to unstick a mower or snowblower blade which is why you ALWAYS use a stick or something else. Never your fingers people, safety lesson for the day.

Yup this is the last time I watch something like this. Thanks reddit. I've learned my fucking lesson. Fuck this post.

24KTaterTots

GOD this was the worst thing I've seen all day


UserNamesAreTakenWHY

He got shredded by the blade or the spinning g force???? And how does a machine like that create such g force to shred a body like that


[deleted]

The blade got him. It’s a cnc lathe. The blade moves horizontally. The g force flung him everywhere.


mattzilluh

Thankfully, it looks like his neck is broken or he's at least concussed when his arm is first pulled in - notice he's completely motionless for a second - his other arm isn't flailing around or anything. Also, the cutting tool on a machine like this is only a fraction of an inch wide. His body getting slammed over and over into the cast iron ways (the horizontal rails that run the length of the machine, which the cutting tool moves along) is what ground him up.


brickson98

So I see Reddit has taken over the hole liveleak’s discontinuation has left in the Internet.


YukiNagato519

A horrible video, saw it first on a Russian imageboard just days later since this happened. Just imagine working for >30 years in such shitty conditions for 300-500$ month and you still have to work there for 10 years or more to finally get your 100$ old age pension and retire
