Cantonment is about a half hour's drive from where I live.

[JJBookman]

Just awful, poor man!

[BenLurkin]

Who switched it on, and why?

[wjcsux]

One of my first jobs out of High School was working on heavy construction equipment. It’s very dangerous work if you’re not careful.

[BobL]

Even though he was here illegally, it DOES NOT mean he deserved that death. For starters, he was doing HONEST work, that no American will do anymore (too busy with video games and PornHub). So, if you want to blame anyone, blame THE SYSTEM that allows, encourages, young American men to go the Video/PornHub route, rather than doing REAL WORK for a living.

[Round Earther]

Do they have concrete evidence that it was an accident?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Poor guy.

In industrial plants, chemical plants, power plants, refineries, etc, you have lock-outs so the power cannot be turned on when you are inside the equipment. You can put your own personal lock on the breakers to prevent somebody making a mistake like this. I doubt cement trucks have that safety precaution. It would have saved this guys life.

[VTenigma]

Lock out-Tag out rules were not observed.

[mykroar]

Bad way to go.

[MotorCityBuck]

Why can’t DeSantis remedy the Florida Man situation?
He has cured everything else.😉

[Honest Nigerian]

Last year in Apopka Florida there was a young firefighter killed during some routine procedure (Oh Yah!) to move some piece of equipment. The ass-covering that happened during that investigation was truly disgusting.
Sort of like Uvalde, I guess. Well, not quite that level of incompetence.
When one is anywhere near heavy equipment an understanding of physics in addition to safety measures is extremely important.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

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?

[joshua c]

ocupado

[PGR88]

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

[Gay State Conservative]

That can’t be a good way to go.

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…

[null and void]

Lock out, tag out.

[bigbob]

Lockout and tagout.

[daniel1212]

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?

[Fresh Wind]

That’s a hard way to go.

[sit-rep]

looks like someone wasnt familiar with the Lock Out Tag Out proceedures!! goes to show all the training in the world doesnt make things accident proof. Human error will always be there!!
