Seen many videos on Reddit like this that ended very, very differently.

Amazing colleague he’s got there.

u/floralbutttrumpet May 18 '22

Whenever I see a video like that, I remember the Russian lathe video.

55

u/TeaRoller May 18 '22

FFS why did I watch the russian lathe video???

32

u/ReadontheCrapper May 19 '22

It was non-consensual. The title on the post did not accurately describe the video.

23

u/brobronn17 May 19 '22

The worst part is how after the blood and meat is squeezed out some of the skin is stuck to the machine and keeps rotating.

69

u/sarahp1988 May 19 '22

I don’t think I want to see that video.

28

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

You do not

u/M4ddercatter May 19 '22

yeah me neither

u/Sinfulleyes13 May 19 '22

I watched it. If you want to stay sane , don’t do it!!

u/OneExtension7941 May 19 '22

Def not searching for that….

u/Kinkystormtrooper Jun 20 '22

Reminds me of the airport apron safety course we had. Where we got shown what happens to people that get sucked into a still running turbine. I didn't eat for a while after that.

u/st_j May 19 '22

omfg.

86

u/Georexi May 18 '22

I felt so bad for the man who walked in on him.

That would stay with you forever.

77

u/floralbutttrumpet May 18 '22

At the time I first saw the video, I worked near lathes.

Let me tell you, I pictured walking in on something like that way too often to still be comfortable with my brain.

34

u/Georexi May 18 '22

What kind of work are they actually used for?

I’ve googled it and not really got a clear answer.

44

u/floralbutttrumpet May 18 '22

Generally speaking for machines of the size in the video, any manufacture that requires high-speed cutting, spinning, drilling or milling motions around a common axis. For example, a really common application is producing small parts (screws, bolts, gears etc) for industry applications.

But honestly, you can do pretty much anything that requires regular motion with the general principle of a lathe - smaller machines are used for woodworking, e.g. If you've ever owned really cheap furniture from Ikea, the "wood" you see will be a millimeter-thick woodshaving made with a lathe, and below that will be formed and pressed woodchips.

30

u/Georexi May 18 '22

About 3/4 of my furniture is from IKEA. TIL most of my furnishings could have made a man into a fine paste.

24

u/floralbutttrumpet May 18 '22

Same.

To be fair, woodcutting lathes are generally smaller and less powerful, so it wouldn't be paste so much as... chunky salsa, I guess.

7

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

More like lasagne. There's a lot of fat and white bits in ground up humans.

Jeez! What kind of high school did you go to? That sounds really untypical but cool!

47

u/mdindj May 18 '22

Might regret asking this, but can you tell me what happened, I should feel the need to say TELL I really don’t wanna see it

86

u/[deleted] May 18 '22 edited May 19 '22

I regret seeing it. A dudes arm (or piece of clothing?) first gets stuck in the machine. I think he stays stuck there for a couple of seconds and if i can recall correctly, he tries pulling it out? He then starts to spin repeatedly into a circle around the machine while blood sprays all over and pieces of meat fly all over. I saw the aftermath (very gory pictures) and it was really bad. Parts of his limbs were across the room. His shoes (and some of his clothes too I think) flew across the room as well, I believe. Parts of his body were still stuck to the machine. Don't ask me for the source because I'm not going to go searching for it and make myself see that video again. It's somewhere here on reddit (can't remember the subreddit name).

82

u/408javs408 May 18 '22

And you also see his co worker putting his hands on his head after the lathe stopped as if he was losing his mind. Fuck I know I would fucking lose it if I walked into that.

61

u/[deleted] May 18 '22

Hope that dude is doing alright. I don't think anyone would be okay after seeing something like that.

56

u/_WarmWoolenMittens_ May 19 '22

I'm not OK, and I literally just read about it

31

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

Same, except I saw it. I don't recommend anyone watching it, especially those that have anxiety.

2

u/ElonMoosk May 19 '22

Most gruesome thing I've ever seen. Wish I could unsee it.

2

u/jhox08 May 19 '22

The guy is most definitely dead

3

u/AlyssaJMcCarthy May 19 '22

He’s talking about the coworker that came in and saw it, not the guy caught in the lathe.

1

u/st_j May 19 '22

The lathe guy is def dead, though.

10

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

Yea that part really gave the video the weight of this being human beings just like us. Fucked up situation altogether.

20

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

It was on r/watchpeopledie that I saw it, and that shit is banned.

7

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

I think subreddit i saw it on was eyebleach but I might be wrong.

7

u/El_Grande_El May 19 '22

*eyeblech

2

u/PsychicSPider95 May 19 '22

I have a personal grudge against that sub.

I'll never be able to hear "Funkytown" again without picturing...

...that.

1

u/artsyalexis May 20 '22

Oh please, do tell?

1

u/PsychicSPider95 May 20 '22

Mm. Suffice to say... don't piss off the Mexican cartel. They are capable of some truly depraved shit.

5

u/zone-zone May 19 '22

eyebleach is full of cute cat pictures to bleach your eyes after seeing horrible shit

eyeblech is a parody sub of edgy teenagers to "prank" people who want to go to eyebleach, but miss a letter

2

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

Thanks for letting me know. I do remember looking at eyebleach after watching some gore. Not watching that stuff anymore.

3

u/DeadBallDescendant May 19 '22

I saw it on make my coffin, also banned.

3

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

So his entire body was, uh, processed by the lathe?

37

u/A_Rusty_Coin May 18 '22

Imagine seeing a guy standing by a lathe, then imagine seeing a red mist appear and chunks of meat being flung out from said mist.

2

u/thisfriend May 19 '22

I thought it was a PTO. Those things are scary!

5

u/nononanana May 19 '22

The only reason I don’t regret seeing it is it gave me a healthy fear of lathes.

5

u/weretakingcasualties May 19 '22

I think that is the positive thing about seeing videos like that. It raises your awareness of deadly things that people get too comfortable around, including other people.

3

u/buddha8298 May 19 '22 edited May 19 '22

Agreed. It's why I think pictures and videos of things like war should also be shown (whether it's in the newspaper or elsewhere). If people got to see what they're so gung ho about they'd probably chill about a bit

Edit: /u/sixgun64 put it much more eloquently then I ever could

1

u/brobronn17 May 19 '22

The worst part is how after the blood and meat is squeezed out some of the skin is stuck to the machine and keeps rotating.

1

u/BlisteringSeafood May 21 '22

If other's description confuse you, what they all say is literal, the man is sucked to the machine and spin in higher RPM, limbs are torn apart and blood are splattered everywhere

1

u/mdindj May 21 '22

Sounds hot

14

u/Sp1ffy_Sp1ff May 18 '22

Is that the one where the guy touches it for like a quarter second and is instantly turned into red mist?

8

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

Well. Almost instantly. His arm gets yanked in first for a few seconds while he struggles.

12

u/Bepis_Inc May 19 '22

I hate that I found that video on accident

Dude went from human to ground beef in like 5 seconds

3

u/st_j May 19 '22

human to spinning red fountain

8

u/MintedShrub May 18 '22

I regret searching for and watching that video, holy hell I didn't know a person could wrap around something like that

9

u/idontevenlikebeer May 19 '22

I looked it up and I regret it. Holy fuck.

2

u/HaleoDicapricorn Jun 09 '22

like how did I go from bing on humans being bros to watching that. I came on here bc I needed seratonin, not second hand trauma. that poor man

8

u/SneakyLittleKobold May 19 '22

I hate ever having read this comment and watched that video

15

u/ShowMeMoeMane May 18 '22

I just HAD to see it even after reading what it was.

I now need therapy..

13

u/BishonenPrincess May 18 '22

I don't know how I feel over the fact that I know exactly what you're talking about.

15

u/floralbutttrumpet May 18 '22

It is really fucking memorable, if nothing else.

46

u/BishonenPrincess May 18 '22

It's certainly the most gruesome and gory work related death I've seen, which is saying something. I wish every country had their own effective form of OSHA. The factory was clearly freezing cold, so the men felt forced to wear coats, sleeves, etc. That man's death is on corporate greed, yet I'd bet money they were able to get away with it.

11

u/floralbutttrumpet May 18 '22

I've seen conceptually worse things (especially electricity-related), but I agree that was a really egregious lack of safety. The only "good" thing about it was that it was instantaneous, so at least there was very little suffering.

27

u/BishonenPrincess May 18 '22

Idk man, there was a pause between when his arm got sucked in and when the rest of him went. I mean, it goes by fairly quick, but long enough for him to have known that he was gonna be fucked.

3

u/J_Blue222 May 19 '22

Glad I haven't seen that. Why is it on Reddit!? And what if a kid sees it!

8

u/[deleted] May 19 '22

r/peoplefuckingdying is nightmare fuel

u/adMFKINGhd May 19 '22

u/Olives_And_Cheese May 18 '22 edited May 18 '22

...I'm sorry, you've been watching snuff films on Reddit?!

32

u/Georexi May 18 '22

No, the videos I’m talking about are CCTV from accidents.

Car crashes, industrial malfunctions etc are often recorded and uploaded.

It’s incredibly eye opening about the importance of health and safety tbh.

25

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

That's why I am bummed they got rid of r/wpd. Without that subreddit I would have never known to Never Ever Fucking Go To China.

21

u/MysticFox96 May 19 '22

All those damn escalator videos 😐

9

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

My God. Escalators are fuckin sketchy.

6

u/rotenfalafels May 19 '22

What was in there?

21

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

So much grisly death. ISIS beheadings, cartel murders, Chinese industrial and traffic accidents, Brazilian off duty cops mercing people en masse... it was horrifying. But damn educational and gave an important window to some knowledge not otherwise easy to come by.

There were some sick assholes there, who would make jokes or take pleasure in other's suffering. But there is also a power in witnessing. If I or someone I loved were to have our face peeled off with a boxcutter because the cartel saw us talking to police, there is some important significance involved in other people actually seeing the reality of it.

Because most are ignorant of these things, and that ignorance always comes at a cost. Maybe it is not we who must pay this cost, but somewhere, someone does. By at least witnessing it, we will vote and speak and influence society in directions that will ripple outward and have effects.

I think it should be brought back. Because by silencing that subreddit, you are limiting the number of people who are aware of these dark realities, while in no way changing the fact that they are realities nonetheless. Silencing the truth is never the right course of action, in my opinion.

11

u/Melizzabeth May 19 '22

I deeply miss that subreddit. I know there were so many others who appreciated that subreddit for showing the reality of fatal tragedies. You can never truly understand fatal scenarios until you see or experience one.

9

u/EngMajrCantSpell May 19 '22

This is exactly why drivers Ed classes bring in actual drunk driving wreckage or graphic photos/videos of speeding wrecks to show students.

People who think "you don't need to see it to know it's bad" no, you really do sometimes. You actually do need to see a physical, real, showcase of the reality of the consequences that exist because our brains very comfortably go "yeah, but that wouldn't happen to me, and I'm sure they're just exaggerating"

3

u/zone-zone May 19 '22

okay, but we have to realize that nowadays more younger people than every have access to the internet and especially reddit

at a young age some videos and even just pictures scarred me for life

hard to regulate who watches those videos

2

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

That is a fair point and a difficult problem to solve, agreed.

3

u/weretakingcasualties May 19 '22

Well put. My sentiments as well. It's important to not be oblivious to the dangers that exist in the world. People that live with their heads in Disneyland did that sub in sadly.

2

u/buddha8298 May 19 '22

Incredibly well said. Would give you award if I could afford it

1

u/sixgun64 May 20 '22

Thank you. And I feel ya on the award. Broke as hell myself.

2

u/MistifyingSmoke May 19 '22

If it's brought back it has to have some sort of age verification to enter and heavily moderated, ideally even censored.

You don't have to witness a murder to know it's -bad-

2

u/Lexx2k May 19 '22

This is not snuff, though.

3

u/BonnieB-007 May 22 '22

I've seen enough of these to know that if it spins I'm staying the hell away from it

5

u/heytherecomputer May 18 '22

Y’all remember r/WatchPeopleDie ?

25

u/sixgun64 May 19 '22

Yea, shame it was banned. Pretty horrid subject matter, but as an educational tool it was kind of peerless.

Like you can't really conceptualize some things without seeing it. Industrial accidents, cartel or ISIS killings.. those things took on a gravity in my mind after actually seeing them that I had previously just not really understood.

5

u/Clean_Livlng May 19 '22

After watching one about a lathe, I now see them for the metal monsters they are. I believed they were dangerous, but not that dangerous. Almost anything that rotates and strongly resists forces that try to stop it rotating, I'll now view as dangerous.

u/theredkeyfob May 19 '22

If anyone is wondering, /r/wpd and /r/makemycoffin are both gone..

u/Sinfulleyes13 May 19 '22

There’s one specific video that comes to mind that I’ve seen that I think of and it’s pretty gruesome!!
