Re: Man Accidentally Hangs Himself & Dies While Working On The Side Of A Building
It looks like this guy is on a Safety Harness. If that's the case he's a dumb ass and had 5-10 minutes till he lost conciseness and then death within 15-20 minutes. Safety harnesses are to prevent you from falling from your death and is not used to hanging from. 95 percent of his weight is on two straps that buckle around his legs, causing him to cut circulation from his main arteries in his thighs. I learned this from fall safety protection class, which i don't think is available in Russia. This guy could be the poster boy for this!

All the best death video come from Russia or in the surrounding countries. For some reason I don't feel much remorse for Russians. I don't hate them or have anything against them personally, I just don't sympathize with their deaths. Odd stuff. |

How is it that his head is hanging off to the side, if he was hanged? Don't look like hanging to me no...

Re: Man Accidentally Hangs Himself & Dies While Working On The Side Of A Building
Harness-Induced Death Wide ranges of situations require safety harnesses of various types. Workers requiring fall protection, workers entering many confined spaces, mountain climbers, deer hunters in elevated stands, and cave explorers all try to protect themselves through the use of safety harnesses, belts, and seats. What is little known however, is that these harnesses can also kill. Harnesses can become deadly whenever a worker is suspended for duration over five minutes in an upright posture, with the legs relaxed straight beneath the body. This can occur in many different situations in industry. A carpenter working alone is caught in mid-fall by his safety harness, only to die 15 minutes later from suspension trauma. An electrical worker is lowered into a shaft after testing for toxic gases. He is lowered on a cable and is positioned at the right level to repair a junction box. After five minutes he is unconscious--but his buddies tending the line don't realize it, and 15 minutes later a dead body is hauled out. The cause of this problem is called "suspension trauma." Fall protection researchers have recognized this phenomenon for decades. Despite this, data have not been collected on the extent of the problem; most users of fall protection equipment, rescue personnel, and safety and health professionals remain unaware of the hazard. |
