That's a wild story it just kept getting worse
Oh there's more like it, too, lol. Like the time a tank WASNT actually empty and I popped the valve off (I had done everything to bleed it off, the bleeder was stuck full of bug gunk I'd later find out). I was deaf for 5 minutes, the valve landed 1 building over, luckily didn't hit anyone/anything.
Then there's the time the cigarette guy climbed up the back of a fuel truck and popped the tank and looked in. He had a cig in his mouth, lit, and thought it was a diesel truck. It was a gas one. Had it been more empty (this fumes) he'd likely have blown his stupid ass up. Instead, he jumped off and twisted his ankle. I unironically hate that man with a passion for many, many reasons.
Or the time my co-worker was doing knife work and just stabbed himself in the gut. That one's a classic: overconfidence in cutting TOWARDS one's self.
Ooh, ooh, a good one: trimming trees with a chainsaw while on a pallet on a forklift 20ft in the air, held on by a rope tied around your WAIST. That was also the safety manager lol
Let me be clear: I've worked for chickenshit outfits like this before, where safety was an afterthought, so I can appreciate and relate to these stories.
That said, these all take the cake. Like I have seen and done some really sketchy shit, and these all top most of my stories.
I used to work 16+ hour days, stand in a dump trailer (confined space sort of), in the dark, and have a tractor lift 1 tonne bags of pellets into the trailer, open them (working under a suspended load), and dump the contents at my feet. The bags sometimes ripped from their hooks on the tractor and would come down fast.
