Mistakes usually happen when you spread yourself too thin.

Ugh.

Is this forum turning into reddit where everyone makes tiring puns?

It was an asphalt grinder, not a tire grinder.

Lockout/Tagout.

Always. No exceptions.

Machines don't love you.
They want to hurt you... they need to hurt you.

Doesn't sound like a lockout issue. Sounds like the machine was in normal operation but the moving parts weren't guarded.

Hey folks, Rolando was my brother in law. He was devoted to his children and I truly hope the kids NEVER have to listen to your stupid jokes about their father.

Rest in peace Rolando.

Why you posting on ATOT and not IDing the guy?

A few years ago, a guy in connecticut fell into a vat of heated tar. I guess it was technical drowning. But that sucks.

Also, a guy where I work died when his head got caught in a hydraulically operated door.

Welcome to the internet. We may seem insensitive with our jokes, but we all are terribly sorry for your loss and I hope your sister and their kids will be able to move on in sufficient time.

Now that our fun has been brought to a grinding halt by a relative, on to another unfortunate situation to make inappropriate puns.

This is the type of machine in question.

This. You lockout tagout when a machine is down and usually for maintenance or repairs. It's so some jackass doesn't come by and flip the machine on while you're working on it.

That's a milling machine. I'm not sure that's what he fell in. The story made it sound like he was at a plant that crushed old blacktop. I did an image search when this thread popped up, and saw some likely candidates, but I'm not familiar with that aspect of construction.

I don't think I can convey just how much these puns grind my gears.

Happened on the highway here a couple years ago. Truck rolled and spilled a lot of scalding hot tar all over the driver. Guy survived though. Was rescured by a bystander.

Hey, at least the cleanup was easy, just a regular dump truck load and move on.

too insensitive, even for me.

It happened in a plant (R.J. Noble co.) that makes asphalt aggregate base used for construction.:'(

Rolando Anaya got caught in a conveyor belt of a mobile asphalt crusher about 12:06 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, along the 25200 block of Maitri Road, according to the sheriff’s coroner and Cal Fire officials. He died at 12:24 p.m.

Worst 18 minutes ever.

My bad. I just assumed it was one of those machines they use to tear up the roadway prior to laying new asphalt. The article just said mobile asphalt crusher so I assumed that this was what took his life.

Horrible way to go... :'(
