#2 so the cat is probably just reacting to the fumes from the onion but as a PSA **do not** let cats (or dogs) eat onions. Onions are toxic to them and could cause serious harm and even death.
The youtube video helps, showing that there is a somewhat happy end for those who got pulled in the middle of it. First clip of this video list, kind of ruined everything else funny coming after it. Too real and scary scenes
Downright terrifying. And then I scrolled down and saw the squinting cat and it made me laugh and it felt so wrong!? I wonder what it'll do to society, our scrolling through endless short videos, feeling each emotion for all of 12 seconds
1# as a former lifty, this is the only scenario that it's better to jump! Your broken leg or arm is better than being crushed by 600 lb chairs stacking up in the terminal. Also get the fuck back dumbass.
There is, a big red button in the middle of the panel, but afaik details are vague but it went something like: The operator had manually overridden the brakes and tried to force a restart on primary power after a voltage drop caused an automatic e-stop, finally couldn't work out how to undo the brake override when it started to rollback. (they should have switched to the diesel generator power)
#1 Nothing wrong with this. There is a savy businessman who could save on maintenance cost, because it is not regulated or he bought the regulator a nice fishing trip. SInce 'capitalism' doesn't acutally care about how economics works "external effects" do not exist. The net gain in wealth was increased for everybody and the people will thank the job creator after profits have trickled down. /S
Kinda wish this wasn't my only social media and I could post, where people who don't agree see it.
you understand it's gravity acting on the people in the chairs, which move them. There is in operation, which you could "stop". An operating break would be more prudent.
The "Darwin Awards" are an internet tradition, awarded to people for taking themselves out of the genepool through acts of sheer stupidity. While trying to hit whatever it was in the water, the rifle discharged and appears to have hit him directly in the jibblies. If he just shot off his balls, he has effectively removed himself from the gene pool via his own stupidity, thus earning a Darwin Award.

Weird there isn't an emergency stop button on both ends of the thing you know like an escalator.

They unclamped the "DO NOT UNCLAMP" brake. The weight of loaded chairs went down again

SuperPickle17
sounds like a terrible design. Elevators have a mechanical centrifugal emergency brake
zenoshogun
The design was adequate, the problem was users who didn't know what they were doing purposely working around safety features.
SuperPickle17
the design didn't account for user error. Theres a reason trains have dead man switches.
Arkkeri
I think there is. But that thing going backwards is most likely a broken axle. And the brake was before the breakage.
Or there wasn't such things as that thing is made in the good ole USSR. (resort in was in Georgia if I remember correctly)

Doesn't the around say it was installed by a Swiss company?

Yeah, that guy was a total idiot. RIP his nuts

I might be stupid, wtf is that? What happens? He knocks something on the head(?) and then it attacks him?

He whacked something in the water with the butt of a rifle and it went off and shot him in the nuts
kanybal
Dang I didn't notice that. Welp. Wonder if he'll learn anything from this
