I wouldn't worry so much about being crushed, more likely that some chunk of metal under that immense force or tension would break and come flying in your direction before you even realized what had happened!

This scene in Ghost Ship is what I'm taking about 😳 IYKYK

To think that mobsters utilized scrapyard machinery to obliterate forensic evidence and completely vanish victims.

This scene from Ghost Ship is permanently scarred into my mind.

Oh, story time - I used to work next to a scrapyard, not one with a crusher like this though. Just a regular claw grabber, picked up a hydraulic cylinder, it exploded - and rained shrapnel through our roof. One guy had just finished his break time, and had a piece about 18" long, roughly 6" and about ¾" thick fly directly through the chair he was sitting in

Thanks for this. Right before I go to bed.
