Your all-time favorite work-related fatalities

[qan]

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has kept a record and vivid description of every work-related injury and fatality to occur since 1972. Yes, you can type in keywords.

Make sure you put the start date back to '72, and optionally check the Fatality Only box. Then type in your favorite cause of death, and prepare to be amused at the misfortune of others (who, no longer living, will not care):

"Employee #1 placed his head under a plastic dome molding press. This machine travels very slowly in an upward and downward motion. Employee #1 held his head in this position until the press made contact. Other employees were in the area but no one was looking at the time of the accident. Another employee stated that he was working with Employee #1 when the accident happened, but he did not hear or see anything. When he turned around he saw Employee #1 leaning across the machine. He rushed over to see what was wrong. He noticed a mark on his hand, then he removed Employee #1 and called for help. Someone called 911. The chairman of the board stated that Employee #1 has tried to shoot himself in the arm with an air-operated nail gun a few days before the accident."

Wow, I didn't know the Air Force was this dangerous.

"At approximately 6:20 p.m. on July 7, 1999, Employee #1, of Sheppard Air Force Base, was supervising activities at a concession stand prior to the start of a softball game. A tank of syrup exploded and Employee #1 was struck in the neck by flying debris, sustaining injuries from which he died. The tank of syrup was connected to a soda dispensing machine that was under pressure."

At approximately 10:30 a.m. on July 7, 1999, Employee #1 and a coworker unloaded a bulldozer near the edge of Wolf River in Memphis, TN, to pull another bulldozer out of the water. Two other coworkers were at the top of the bank at the highway. Employee #1 attempted to swim out to the stuck dozer with a cable. He went under, came up once and thrashed about for a few seconds, and then went under again. Employee #1 drowned.

:turned: Haha, I love the end: "Employee #1 drowned."

That we are laughing at the misfortune of others or of the way that he died?

Employee #1 was operating a power broom sweeper when the brakes failed. He lost control of the machine and fell as it crashed. Employee #1 was killed.

[Jeenyuss]

He went under, came up once and thrashed about

This is the climax.

Employee Killed When Buried By Concrete Manhole Caps

Employee #1 was operating a backhoe when the Immigration and Naturalization Service raided the job site. He jumped off the backhoe to hide in a pile of concrete manhole caps but failed to first disengage the vehicle's gears. The backhoe continued to move and it ran into the pile of concrete caps, dislodging them. Employee #1 was crushed under the shifting concrete caps and died of a fractured neck.

edit: the titles are really way better than the descriptions

At approximately 9:05 a.m. on Friday, January 6, 1995, Employee #1, a 55-year-old office aide, was helping passengers exit an elevator that had overshot its designated floor and opened its doors. As Employee #1 straddled the elevator floor and work floor, the elevator suddenly moved upward without closing its doors. Employee #1 was then caught with his head inside the cab while the rest of his body was outside the cab. He was decapitated and killed when the cab floor reached the top of the cab doorway.
