Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 When I opened this I was expecting some kind of Dumb and Dumber stunt instead of a horrible accident. Now I'm expecting to see some YouTube copycat stunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Since we use a lot of compressed air at our worksite, I decided the story would make a good 5 minute safety topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis Suomi SASS #31905 Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Howdy: Many years ago, while working for a law group for a major corporation, I read of a case where two young men were working together on an assembly line of sorts. They were being total butt heads and one bent over to do something and the other shoved an air hose you know where. Air man literally blew up (like the trucker) and died. You know, stupid and accidents go together like corn bread and beans. ST Suomi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
