I had to rescue a female co worker from a machine before. We were working in a tiny chocolate factory so there was only me and her in the factory part, the women who wrapped the stuff were in another room.Iv'e had to rescue people from swings and railings among other things and dogs and
people from machinery with only the loss of one limb and a finger but never a death
or a cinema seat, you would think you would be pretty safe in a cinema, sounds
like the seats were powered so you can get comfy and maybe in looking under
it he pressed the buttons and trapped himself maybe by the neck blocking the
airway, not his lucky day that for sure.
I had to rescue a female co worker from a machine before. We were working in a tiny chocolate factory so there was only me and her in the factory part, the women who wrapped the stuff were in another room.
One day, Kelly decided to clean out some white chocolate from a piston pump with her finger while the piston was still moving and got her finger trapped. I hit the emergency stop button, legged it into the wrapping room and dialled 999. I'll never forget the manager saying "What have you done to her !?".
... so all the women ran over to Kelly and without checking, the manager flicked a switch which turned the machine back on and crushed her finger a bit more until I hit the emergency stop button again.
They were able to remove her from the machine and sat the girl, now sobbing, on a chair in the wrapping room. I darted to our customer shop down the driveway and bought a can of cold coke so she could hold it (no skin breakage) for some comfort.
The paramedics turned up and decided she wasn't too badly injured, her Mum stormed up to the place and gave me a filthy look then the owner turned up and bollocked me for dialling 999 "Because I'll have to pay for that .... and WHY didn't she have her safety guard down ?!" ... "Because she won't ever do anything I ask her to."
The next day was meant to be my last day working there anyway but I didn't bother going in, I was still too angry. And I wasn't even her manager, just her co worker ... but it was my fault somehow ? .. only one of the women thanked me.
The girl was a pain in the arse to work with, the only woman who thanked me told me she thought the girl fancied me and that was why she was being a little bitch to me .. One day Kelly decided to move all of the end of shift cleaning equipment out of the cupboard in the middle of the factory up to the other end where she was working so she wouldn't have to walk as far (about 8 metres) to fetch it and I bit my lip .. another day she offered to temper my chocolate in the heating vat and deliberately put it on too low a temperature to sabotage my work and I bit my lip .. the list goes on .. it was only a temporary job anyway ..The owner was certainly liable there, not you as you know, because she didn't follow procedure and he's responsible. Maybe the machine shouldn't have worked without the guard on?
I can tell you're still brassed off about taking flak for doing your best in a crisis!
I did have great fun though during any down time by making mutant reindeer with Santa heads chocolate sculptures and the like ..
Please tell your kid I'm a long time fan of their artOne of my kids had a temporary factory job canning peanuts/choc chips etc. To relieve the boredom wags would can fag ends or pants or socks and then see if their mates further down the line could them pick out in time!
Here in Ukraine, which I call home, we are still bewildered by the "suicide" of our now ex-interior minister, Yuri Kravchenko who committed suicide by shooting himself in the head ... twice.

Not nearly as unusual as you might think:
“In one study of 138 gunshot suicides, 5 (3.6%) involved two shots to the head, the first of which missed the brain. A suicide with 4 gunshots to the head has been reported.
In February 1995, a man committed suicide on parkland in Canberra. He took a pump action shotgun and shot himself in the chest. The load passed through the chest without hitting a rib, and went out the other side. He then walked fifteen meters, pulled out a pistol and shot himself in the head. After reloading the shotgun, he leaned the shotgun against his throat, and shot his throat and part of his jaw. He then reloaded a final time, walked 200 meters to a hill, sat down on the slope, held the gun against his chest with his hands and operated the trigger with his toes. This shot entered the thoracic cavity and demolished the heart, killing him.”

That very cinema is the one I go to most often, and "Gold Class", with its fancy electric armchairs, is what we usually choose. Have to say, the seats never struck me as dangerous before.A cinema with electronic footrests? Never seen those round my way.

Man trapped behind toilet wall.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/02/calgary-canada-body-behind-toilet-accidental-death
Police in Canada have said a man whose body was found inside a wall in a women’s washroom died accidentally, after he crawled into a vent opening for unknown reasons and became stuck.
The grisly discovery was made earlier this week after a worker at the Core Shopping Centre in Calgary was called in to fix a toilet that wouldn’t flush. After removing the wall panel behind the toilet, he found a body belonging to an adult male.
On Wednesday Calgary police did not name the victim, identifying him only as a male in his 20s. He had entered the women’s washroom on Friday evening – some three days before his body was found – and was believed to have been alone at the time, police said....
Yea, but that was taking the piss
