"She was trapped inside the elevator with his head for more than an hour."

Oh jesus christ **** this thread no no no no no no
 
At my school, a kid got his long hair caught in a lathe, and it tore his scalp off.

Also, a kid that was a year younger than me sliced the top knuckle of his pointer finger almost all the way off with a power miter. Gnarly. He got it put back on, though, and it works fine, but he has a really gruesome scar. Kindof odd, though, because miters are thick saws that chew. Must have had to do some bone growing and skin grafting.
 
Aaaaah, goddamn it. I take an elevator 12 floors every day at work, while having frequent elevator nightmares since I got stuck in one ten years ago. Why did I read that. I just hope the hospital officials finally come to a head over elevator safety after this incident.
 
This is my elevator story for this thread:

It had rained a LOT one day, and I decided to take the elevator to the basement 3rd floor where I kept my bike in the building. It was the scariest 15 minutes of my life. The elevator suddenly started to flood with water, slowly and steadily, and it suddenly stopped. But the water kept rising and rising, the lights inside the elevator turned off, and I thought my life would end there and then. The guard guy got me out 15 minutes later.

Apparently the rain had caused overt pressure for the rain reservoir thing and it burst, taking out a few of the water main pipes with it, thus flooding the entire basement and and the elevator box.
 
Good lord this thread is making me not want to leave my house anymore.




not that i do anyway......................................
 
Being stuck in an elevator has only happened twice to me.

Once at a hotel, waited a few minutes kept pressing buttons, and evenetually it unstuck itself.

And another time at home in my apartment building. We have this old small, claustrophobia inducing elevator, that keeps geting stuck between floors, no matter how many times they "fix it".
Once it did exactly that with me in it, I forcefully opened the door, and carefully got out.
Yeah, I know it could've gotten unstuck while I was doing that and cut me in half.
 
Someone needs to invent futurama tubes so we can use them instead of elevators.
 
Yeah sometimes I take the elevator up to the second floor(there's only two floors) where I'm working right now... since it's right near the front reception desk... and I'm just thinking, "Hmm.. not worth the risk"

Our elevator door doesn't even have those rubber bumper things that feel for something there. Well they do, but they're like stuck inside or something? I dunno. Seems dangerous though.

Yeah until you get ejected into a brick wall and realize that we don't operate under cartoon physics.

Like Fry! Like Fry!

Might lose some weight, too.
 
God, just thinking about the noise he and his skull made as it was separated makes me nauseous.

It's not even like a sharp blade for a swift splice, even. Just pure ripping apart.
 
Makes you wonder why shit like this happens to the most random and innocent people. Really, like why? Why such a horrible and gruesome death?
 
I worked with a dude whose theory was that people who never get minor injuries end up dying in horrible accidents.

So now every time I scrape myself or lose half a toenail or some guy runs into me on his bike, I'm like "Awesome, maybe I won't die in a freak accident."

The biggest injury I've ever gotten was the odd paper cut. Well, SHIT.
