Some people may think that’s a joke but it’s not.
I once saved and Exxon Engineer from getting crushed to death.
He honestly thought he could stop about 7000# of 9 5/8” steel casing coming at him.
After I saved his life he even tried to get me fired.
Next time you might give him his chance to stop the pipe.
There’s a serious common sense deficit in America.
I once had a kid mangle his fingers when he did exactly what I specifically told him not to do and even showed him why (Not to mention the printed warning right in his line of sight)
The job was a simple matter of buffing the inner diameter of solenoid coils with a wire brush on a drill press. I told him to do it barehanded or wear a leather glove because the brush would catch the cloth glove and tear him up. I even showed the kid what happens with a cloth glove.
10 minutes later he was on his way to the hospital. One of the old timers said that when I hired in I was dumb like any new hire but the kids today are mostly dangerously stupid.
Unbelievable
