Re: Work-related Injury
Safety around machinery is obviously a paramount concern. Good breeding and proper training are ultimately no protection from stupidity, though. If I recall, something very similar happened to a Physics grad student at a prestigious American university just this past year. Her hair (or her coat, I can't recall which) got caught in a lathe and she was choked to death right there in her chair for her lab partner to find when he got back from his lunch break. I suspect that, at the end, her expensive, prestigious college degree did very little to differentiate her from this poor Mexican wage-slave in a sweatshop. They both wound up looking the exact same: choked out, drooling, and dead with their pants full of piss. |

Re: Work-related Injury
wearing a scarf while working on that kind of machine is just asking to be killed also why the scarf if she is in mexico in a sweatshop? Just trying to keep warm?
