  • Man i sure feel for you.They should have been more safety concerned.What a shame a young man just wanting to earn money to have a new car or truck.I hope you get a new car anyway.Are you gonna sue them???I am glad you lived through and didnot lose your life!!!

  • It was a foreseeable accident. The management figured it'd be cheaper to give injured workers settlement money than to add safety features (ladders, railings, etc) to all of the equipment in the work areas. The dollar is all that matters to a lot of people, hence "they" are responsible.

see all

  • holly crap. I was watching this and I was like he seems familiar and then I read his name, I actually went to school with him . crazy how fast accidents can happen.

  • i hope nobody gets mad at me for saying this but i think these are fake stories. dont get me wrong, these could definetly happen but they have so many worst case senario stories that i doubt they could have found all of them. good message though

  • hmm lets see, big fucking machines with cutting tools. You don't need to be told to be damn careful around such machines. If you do, you deserve what you get.

  • @thomasbhunter68 not really ^^

  • @beachnative420 he came to my school and he was told by his boss it was faster to clean it while the machines on . you would have to listen to the story from him..

  • When Working in an enviroment like a saw mill. You must be on the look out at all times and alway's stay vigalint. I am a 33 year old female who works in a sawmill. Our sawmill has a very good saftey record. But like I said vigalince is key. Never climb on moving machinary.. Commen sense.

  • these videos give ya fuckin nightmares not stop u doin stupid shit hahahaha !!

  • Two questions. Why was the machine still going? And, Why did he step ONTO the moving part? Seems to me like common sense to not step onto a moving machine that has pointy bits.

  • "Are you saying someone meant for him to get hurt."

    No they are saying that management cut corners to meet production goals, that is grounds for a lawsuit.
