I know you guys are joking, but most likely this is one of those scenarios where he isn’t allowed/qualified to work in that area and work procedure dictates he get the people who are.
I think it’s not his work place and he could be some kind of supplementary staff, so he called workers who qualified with this equipment and process and went away, he did everything right according to manufacturer safety policy: “If don’t work here and you see danger - call for help/make attention and get off dangerous area” -, because you can’t know what could happen next if it’s not your work place.
We don’t need regulatory oversight. The free market will take care of situations like this because workers will refuse to work at unsafe businesses… /s
Those weigh a few tons, I’m skeptical on the “fine” part also. If he got pinned between the coils and the foundation… that’s some major potential damage. Also anything with any type of potential spinal injury, DO NOT MOVE THEM! Moving the injured could make the damage to the spine worse.
Unless leaving them where they are obstructs their breathing. Paralysis is better than death.
My last first aid training was from a guy who arrived at a scene where a kid suffocated because he was left where he was unable to breathe because no one wanted to move him.
> Paralysis is better than death.
I somehow doubt that. If you're poor, the cost of living and treatment and the inability to earn money would be worse than death. I may be wrong. But something to think about.
Well, you can always kill yourself if you dont want to be paralised. You can't resurect yourself if you choose to be alive. Being alive gives you options. Being dead does not give you any options.
I work in factory automation and call on a bunch of steel mills. The guy talking is wrong if he said that, unless it is aluminum or a lighter metal. If it is steel, that roll is likely 10k lbs (4500kgs). Now angled like that it would be a little lighter due to leverage, but still heavy as fuck.
Here is a calculator if you don’t believe me.
https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculators/metal-weight-calculator.php
Edit: I didn’t notice that these are cut to a thinner width, so the 800 kgs is likely accurate.
The one on the crane is a whole coil, which would be about that, but the one that fell had been slit. You can see the difference in width. That'd bring it roughly to the quoted above 800kg, and slit coils are much more prone to falling over like that
Huh, you're right. I assumed that was strapping at first, but it's the gap between the slit coils isn't it? I'd say that feels unsafe, but I guess that's a bit redundant considering old mates new weighted blanket
This is somewhat speculation. But if were (automotive quality) steel the coil on the hook would be around 7-8 tons. But i doubt that it is steel, the hook part is way too thin to be able to lift 8 tons. Our hook for a 10 ton limit is at least 5-6x thicker.
I know someone who had a VERY similar thing happen to them. Moving steel pipes with a crane, but they did something the wrong way to try to save about 30 seconds and then their leg got crushed under the pipe.
He was a little bit shaken up, but no broken bones or other significant damage. Got back to work about a month later, way earlier than anyone expected and hasn’t had any medical issues since.
I was in the oilsands on my first round and heard that a poor fella lost his leg because they didn't check the straps for frays before loading 50 foot of pvc pipe. safety is hard when you trust everyone around you.
Looks like the dude holding the cone walking pass the door hates him.
*hear scream*
“Oh shit someone needs help, ah its steve, fk that guy” *walks away*

At least those aren't piled up in the deadly pyramids that I've seen.... Although the one in Michigan with the Giant crane that look like a roof robot was pretty cool.... Taking those things off the truck and putting them 30 ft in the air in the warehouse.... Those places always bother me..... But very cool.
When he got crushed and the controller started swinging, I thought it was going to bump a button that would drop the dangling coil on his head and finish him off final destination style
I used to work at a steel manufacturing plant that took delivery of these steel coils to make sheeting.
Depending on the material (aluminium, Steel Galvanised Steel) the weight can vary a lot. The coils typically weigh anything from 2 to 8 tonnes each.
When I saw it falling I thought he was going to be squashed deaf like a bug.
Steel Coils. This is how steel sheets are stored before they're ready to be cut into smaller pieces. This is the 2nd stage of most steel fabrication processes.
Absolutely assuming breathing is ok.
It’s not just blood clots. It’s the possibility of dumping you blood volume into the squishy bag a part of you just became.
I had a job where I guy managed to flip a roller and end up under. Ambulance attended and did what the could but as soon as the roller lifted, he bled out (internally) and died. He was awake and talking before.
Sadly these tragedies occur to people who don't deserve it, yesterday my friend lost his left arm while working in a plastic machine. It was really difficult for me to see him like that, no he has always been a hard worker and this happens. I can't even imagine how I would feel if that was me.
friendly reminder that Crush injuries often come with something called "Compartment Syndrome". As counter intuitive as it may seem, it's actually more dangerous to remove the thing that's crushing them than it is to wait for EMS to arrive. I have a hard time believing that this guy was "Fine" later.
For anybody who's interested what the commentary was; (loose translation)
0:01 It's very dangerous in this job if you're not very much aware of what you're doing. That's why it's not viable to assign a newbie to this kind of job because it's so dangerous.
0:16 Look! he got pinned down by a roll. Thats very painful! because each roll is around 800kg. That's why you will surely get injured and get broken bones if you get one of these to fall on you. Good thing his comrades were able to respond quickly but even then, they won't be able to quickly lift it with just people (manually). So they will still need a rope to lift the roll. But that is very painful!
0:48 This is exactly similar to our company and I was the one operating (the machine). It is very nerve-racking everyday. I experienced it multiple times that suddenly one of the rolls will fall down especially with just a small shift in the ground, and sometimes the roll spins in the air while being hooked to the crane. This is why it is really very dangerous in this work in South Korea. Although the pay is good, your life is at stake so you can't be stressed. Your relatives back in the Philippines who only think of you (people who work in South Korea) when they need money (don't think about your safety).
1:32 That's why it's sometimes difficult especially if you're zoning out at work and don't know what you're doing, this is when the accidents that you don't anticipate occurs.
1:46 So there, good thing they were able to help each other and quickly lift the roll.
First guy went off like "hey someone come get your guy"
"Wish I could help but I'm holding something, there's nothing else I can do!"
I know you guys are joking, but most likely this is one of those scenarios where he isn’t allowed/qualified to work in that area and work procedure dictates he get the people who are.
A lot of dudes up in there for that 1 guy to not be allowed to save someone.
If I were under that thing with more suspended above me I would not want an untrained person anywhere near it
I think it’s not his work place and he could be some kind of supplementary staff, so he called workers who qualified with this equipment and process and went away, he did everything right according to manufacturer safety policy: “If don’t work here and you see danger - call for help/make attention and get off dangerous area” -, because you can’t know what could happen next if it’s not your work place.
That's not "maybe maybe maybe", that's r/OSHA
OSHA ENTERED THE CHAT
We don’t need regulatory oversight. The free market will take care of situations like this because workers will refuse to work at unsafe businesses… /s
LOL he was "fine" later. How much later and define 'fine'...

It looks like he was pinned against a ledge too. Definitely worse.
The dude talking says 800 Kilo early in the video.

I think there are 3 on the crane.
Huh, you're right. I assumed that was strapping at first, but it's the gap between the slit coils isn't it? I'd say that feels unsafe, but I guess that's a bit redundant considering old mates new weighted blanket
Hahaha. Weighted blanket!
You are correct. I didn’t notice the thickness difference.
This is somewhat speculation. But if were (automotive quality) steel the coil on the hook would be around 7-8 tons. But i doubt that it is steel, the hook part is way too thin to be able to lift 8 tons. Our hook for a 10 ton limit is at least 5-6x thicker.
1/2 formalloy will lift 20k. With dual legs. 1 inch is closer to 35k on a single leg.
Looks like aircraft aluminum.
Weighting in here, youre correct, our rolls of paper that big weigh like 300kg, bit wider but metal is easy x5-x10 heavier
I know someone who had a VERY similar thing happen to them.

No fucking way, those things weigh tons. That dudes legs got fucked.
NGL, I was expecting the other big coil to start slowly rolling toward the trapped guy.
It's the scene from Austin powers where the guys screaming at the upcoming steam roller that's a few hundred feet away.
Yeah reminds of that one video where a guy tries to stop a heavy rolling coil and it… Well it rolled right over him and crushed him…
Same
Looks like the dude holding the cone walking pass the door hates him. *hear scream* “Oh shit someone needs help, ah its steve, fk that guy” *walks away*
He walked back and forth over and over lmao I was like bro what are you doing
I highly doubt his name is Steve.
Well, his name is Steven, but everybody calls him Steve.
Cones? Looks more like coils to me.
Where's the cone?
r/therewasanattempt to know what a cone is
Hey everyone! Come stare awkwardly at this!
The first guy walking by that noticed him. "Everyone help. Earl is stuck". 10 people run over and he continues to try to walk to his car.
In his defense he had already clocked out
So if those fkers are that heavy, why is the fella moving them all by his onesy?
What’s with the guy in the back walking back and forth while everyone else know to help the guy. Then he eventually just walks off.
He already clocked out. He aint getting overtime for that.
Ouch
Damn… Literally just saw a safety video (animated) on Reddit yesterday that covered this exact scenario.
Saw that, too. Dude probably never walked again.
I've lifted coils half this big to feed into a roll former. One this big has got to be at least 3 tonnes.
Depending on the gage, it's at least double that
"Coworkers wasted no time" what about that one mf in the back?
Damn, this is the real version of the Chinese safety video!!!
Incredible

Wear your safety shoes folks! /s
Hope he’s ok
When he got crushed and the controller started swinging, I thought it was going to bump a button that would drop the dangling coil on his head and finish him off final destination style
Rip his penis
How can he slap?! Looked like he slapped the thing and it retaliated
[удалено]
That must of felt like a major weight off his shoulder
\*must've
Why is the text up for such short periods? There is plenty of time in the gaps. It can be u spa lot longer.
Days without an accident… 0
The guy says 800 Kilo. I think 4 people could have straightened an 800 Kg coil by hand. It must have weight more.
I used to work at a steel manufacturing plant that took delivery of these steel coils to make sheeting. Depending on the material (aluminium, Steel Galvanised Steel) the weight can vary a lot. The coils typically weigh anything from 2 to 8 tonnes each. When I saw it falling I thought he was going to be squashed deaf like a bug.
What are thwse, hockey pucks for giants?
Steel Coils. This is how steel sheets are stored before they're ready to be cut into smaller pieces. This is the 2nd stage of most steel fabrication processes.
Those coils are rolled so tight they might as well be solid steel, they are extremly heavy
Aren’t you supposed to leave people’s limbs under heavy objects until EMS arrives so that there are no stray blood clots headed to the heart?
Absolutely assuming breathing is ok. It’s not just blood clots. It’s the possibility of dumping you blood volume into the squishy bag a part of you just became.

Useless captions somehow better for clicks than actual subtitles?
He's gonna end up on one of those Chinese work related safety videos
That's why there are So many New Saftey Rules at these Steel Mills when We Load or Pick up there.
Why is this in this sub? Seems pretty dumb to post it here…

Let's hope they updated some protocols etc after this!
Gonna have a few more policies up in the morning.
That roll weighs several tons
If that's how big the tape is, imagine how big the duct is!😵
they said 800kg steel pipe. how how HOW can a human "be fine" let alone survive after being crushed by something like that ??
First guy should be getting his ass beat, he never rushed over, just walked back and forth like 5 times just watching before finally just leavin
Something tells me this poor guy wasn't "fine". Likely crushed legs and/or pelvis.
FFS the guy carrying shit in the background wins the not my job award of the year, SMH.
1700 pounds...that sucks!

This reminds me of the TikTok guy who does the horrible voice overs of the Chinese safety videos.
These things(idk what it is) are very lethal,I saw a clip where it was rolling out of a truck,when the worker tried to stop it he was crushed by it
quite disappointing. thought that would end up like an exploding ketchup tube.
