In factories machinery like that would be under the “Lockout/Tagout” OSHA requirement. The man working on the machine would padlock the main disconnect in the OFF position. But cement mixers?

Someone didn’t lock out the motor or PTO.

There’s a tone of common sense and OSHA violations

Not operating with safety monitor
Not disconnecting power source
Not blocking off work area
No warning signs

That can’t be a good way to go.

“Wait a minute, you say a person can make a living with this video/PornHub thing? How exactly does that happen?”

Apparently not the case, as I just watched the new Netflix movie. PornHub types are basically demonitized in most forums (poor babies).

“Someone didn’t lock out the motor or PTO.”

Ideally he would put a lock on the system preventing its activation while he’s inside. Perhaps he forgot his lock, or forgot to put it on - if so, that can be the price.

If, on the other hand, that system didn’t exist, it’s time for his family in Honduras to hire an attorney.

So Florida Man is dead? What will the alligators eat now? Who will demonstrate to the next generation why explosives/drugs/explosives and drugs/etc. are dangerous? What will security guards/police officers/convenience store clerks do now that they don’t have to spend most of their time looking out for Florida Man? Who will the trailer park ladies date now? The questions are endless.

This is hugh and series. Let’s all observe a moment of silence for Florida Man…

the man was operating the cement mixer when it was switched on, and he got entangled inside it.

Who was operating a keyboard when it was switched on, and became entangled in it?

Even though he was here illegally, it DOES NOT mean he deserved that death.

There is nothing in the article that gives his status as either a citizen, here on a work visa or here illegally. Where did you come up with the idea he was an illegal?

There is a kill switch that can be tagged
for lockout. They are also typically
roped off with warning signs that state
“Do Not Operate”
Someone didn’t follow proper safety
procedures. There are workers that
climb inside these mixers on a
regular basis for clean-out of
concrete that has dried inside usually
just after a pour and a lengthy return
to the yard.
These safety rules are typically OSHA
driven, as this certainly isn’t the first
time this has happened. Big fines are due
the company owner if these procedures
weren’t followed.
I suspect foul play. Someone didn’t like
this guy.
