At times the company was using a plastic container so to bypass the proximity switch and keep the flap open they were using a metal clipboard.

WTF?!

Personally, whenever I change a circular saw blade, I like to jam the spindle with a piece of cardboard while leaving it switched on at the mains and keeping my finger on the trigger. Adds a certain frisson.

That is NOT how you're supposed to get ahead in the meat packing industry.

Cleaner has head cut off in giant meat blending machine

OMG! Is he ok?

Thought this was an article about the cat-cooking ninny from ny.

But the flap closed suddenly with substantial force acting like a pair of 'scissors' cutting off the top of her head above the eyebrows.

She died from serious head injuries.

... what ELSE are you going to die of when you have the top of your head cut off?

I got fired from my job when I stuck my junk in the pickle slicer.

Not sure - you better check the pickle slicer.

Dangit, portscanner.

Mr. Wiggin:
This is a 12-story block combining classical neo-Georgian features with the efficiency of modern techniques. The tenants arrive here and are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort, past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed. The blood pours down these chutes and the mangled flesh slurps into these...


This springs to mind.

I appreciate the clarification there. It was in fact the giant missing chunk of her head that caused the death.

they had to cut some staff

In my opinion, trying to reinact old flash cartoons is not smart for business.

Lock-out tags, folks. There for a reason. Now she'll never be the head of her department.

and she was alive for a bit afterward.....that is really disturbing

I like the attention to detail. For instance, if they had just said "the top of her head" I would have immediately assumed they meant "the top of her head below the eyebrows, as I think most people would.

Makes me think of this, "If I tell you, I'm afraid you won't even try it."

On the upside, Treet now has more flavor.

SophiWher: and she was alive for a bit afterward.....that is really disturbing

Nah, just the nervous system. That kind of trauma there is no way she was conscious. The Madd Man: But the flap closed suddenly with substantial force acting like a pair of 'scissors' cutting off the top of her head above the eyebrows.

Surprise?

Mrs Trebilcock was inspecting a blender used to mix four tonnes of meat when she crouched beneath the machine to inspect a flap, where the load is discharged, to ensure it was clean. But the flap closed suddenly with substantial force acting like a pair of 'scissors' cutting off the top of her head above the eyebrows.

Woman killed by meat flaps?

OMG PIX PLZ LOL

Holy SHIATE!!!

Something actually worse than decapitation.

Adjective Bird Whiskey: On the upside, Treet now has more flavor.

Exactly what I wanted to know.I dont feel like eating anything processed for the next 10 years now... :P

Um, holy farking shiat? That's all I can think of right now. Holy farking shiat.

Sounds like their standard procedure for inspecting the machine was astonishingly bad. Blocking the sensor is asking for an accident to happen.

I have a can of Vienna sausages in my lunch.

Now with human head!

We were shown video of a guy's legs getting chopped off in a blender like this for our lock out tag out training at my last job. We were a printed circuit board manufacturer with nothing really dangerous in the shop (except the wave solderer).

I came in here to say that the thought of it is horrifying. Then I started reading the comments and realized all the great jokes i didn't even consider. So, yay this thread!

vort3xxx: except the wave solderer

Dedrossing. Shudder.

Well, of course, this is just the sort of blinkered philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage.

This sentence is full of win:

"Mrs Trebilcock was inspecting a blender used to mix four tonnes of meat when she crouched beneath the machine to inspect a flap, where the load is discharged, to ensure it was clean."

/RIP Mrs. Trebilcock. Shame on you DeliCo Ltd.

"She died from serious head injuries."

...no sheeeet...

It was her fault. It was her responsibility to make sure the equipment should have been locked & tagged out.

BTW, where are the pics? How can I enjoy others suffering without visual stimulation?

FTA: cutting off the top of her head above the eyebrows...

She died from serious head injuries.

Well garsh, ya think?

FarkinNortherner: Dedrossing. Shudder.

Some interesting stuff survives in that muck. I think if metal ever evolves into a life form, it will happen in there.

So a human being died, nobody goes to jail, and whatever the company is fined will be passed on to consumers. Nice.

How would you like to be the person who has to clean and/or inspect the meat blending machine after THAT?

It's only a flesh wound.
