"This is an extremely unfortunate incident," she said. "Luckily, it doesn't happen that often."

When buying pre-fab meatballs, I'd be far more reassured if it didn't happen at all.

I've seen what it looks like ... the worst part is the fingernails.

Always make your own meatballs, that's what my grammy used to say.

I dunno, I'd think the Noodle Incident might be worse.

FTA: "The plant's workplace safety officer, as well as officials from Sweden's Work Environment Authority (Arbetsmiljöverket) will be on hand later on Tuesday to look into what caused the machine to jam in the first place."

Hasn't the worker suffered enough?

FTFA: "This is an extremely unfortunate incident," she said.

If a person subverts a grinding machine's safety device and tries to unjam it with his bare hands while it's powered on, and loses two fingers as a result, it's not unfortunate.

If anything, Fortune has blessed this idiot for making so far in life and only losing two fingers.

It's not scary either, because for it to be scary I would have to think myself capable of being retarded enough to do something like that.

Na'Kal: Breen! You've managed to import breen from Homeworld! How?

G'Kar: It, uh...isn't actually breen.

Na'Kal: The smell, the taste-!

G'Kar: It's an Earth food. They are called Swedish meatballs. It's a strange thing, but every sentient race has its own version of these Swedish meatballs! I suspect it's one of those great universal mysteries which will either never be explained, or which would drive you mad if you ever learned the truth.

Take if from a person who used to go to Jay's Potato Chips for school field trips. They have a special "tangy" taste for a reason. When one works at a factory, one takes into account, this kind of thing happens. Gruesome, though.

The Swedish Meatball Mishap

It sounds like a good name for a band or a Woody Allen movie.

A Pickle incident (new window)would be even worse.

Björk is from Iceland, not Sweden. You seriously need a map.

Oh, and about "Björk", those little things above the "o" are not decorations that people put there to seem exotic. It just means that that the letter sounds like "euh" because it's an "o" mixed with an "e".
It simply means "Birch", as in the tree.

Seriously, I used to work for a company that handled workers comp claims for Quaker Oats back in the Eighties. We had one claim from their Cedar Rapids plant where a guy lost three or four fingers to the machinery mixing Captain Crunch cereal. They had to dump an entire batch, which was in a vat about 10 feet deep by 20 feet in diameter.

The fingers were too, umm, crunched to re-attach and save.

Seems to me if you give an industrial-strength meat grinder the ol' UFIA, you pretty much deserve whatever you get.

WindBreaker: Seems to me if you give an industrial-strength meat grinder the ol' UFIA, you pretty much deserve whatever you get.

Pretty much this...there are the "freak" kinds of industrial accidents where a not-especially-dangerous piece of equipment manages to do a shocking amount of damage with an exposed linkage or pinch point or something, but to stick your hand into a RUNNING machine that was designed for the express purpose of grinding up large quantities of meat...I mean I feel bad for the guy and all, but he did it to himself.
