I think it's propably shock or being filled to the brim with regrets, i mean i would regret being in that position regardless of who's fault is this, we also don't know the context of how this situation came to be.
When I started working in a factory (not floor, admin), most of my orientation training was spent watching gore clips in factories and the guy explaining how to avoid it. Kinda fucked me on training cause I'm an analyst, I don't touch or come near machines.
When I was on benefits I chose to take a forklift course with the bonus of getting my license at the end, first week was in a classroom and we had a presentation on work place safety.
My work had a video of a person at the factory who had committed suicide using a 4 ton injection mold press. Just pulled the shoot out, crawled up and put his head between the press. Floor manager had it saved to his phone. That place was so boring and repetitive that I wound up leaving 2 months in after contemplating doing the same
I work with hydroponics, so we have a lot of electrical next to and inside of tanks of water. Twice I’ve gotten shocked, once more badly than the other, and it scared the shit out of me and made me way more cautious. Both times it happened I was alone at work an no one would have found me for hours.
I think about this when I see accidents on the side of the road. One day it might be mine or yours turn and you never really know. Accidents happen so fast.
These things make me sad more than terrified. People get complacent, start skipping precautions, and have life-changing (or life-ending) accidents that were totally preventable.
This Saturday I have to use an electric saw the first time for a project. I have mad respect for it and hope I will have all my limbs attached at Sunday. Just today I plugged in the saw to get a feeling for it and will practise of course but I still am anxious around it.
I'd go into a deep state of depression, oh no I cant use two hands to (insert activity) just because of this accident this one day that I could have prevented with precautions
You can see where her left arm grazes over the button. This is also a machine malfunction. It should be a 2-stage safety system required to operate to avoid things like this happening.
We ordered an industrial guillotine paper cutter. We had to request the safety switch, and the laser safety guide. It was an extra expense and did not come standard.
Malfunction? Or on purposed disabled safety features by workers who wants save time? It is really common… I always have high respect to those machines and personally I would never do something on it without huge mechanical stop.
It looks to me like an improper installation of the light curtain safety. I’ve worked on similar presses that were designed to activate the ram when the light curtain is clear to speed up operation. It appears she managed to get completely in front of the light curtain (vertical yellow bar) and trigger the press which should not be possible.
Considering this is one of those hydraulic press machines that apply a huuuge pressure, and what we see in the video is her arm getting completely "flattened" as you said, I think there's no way to reconstruct it. Bones have been completely crushed. Blood vessels may have suffered damage too and the risk of compartment syndrome is very high.
My SIL got her hand crushed halfway up to the elbow by something like a plate rolling machine (the thing that flattens thin stuff to thinner stuff, or squezes things). They managed to save her hand/arm and while it took a while, she healed basically perfect.
I once dated a guy who had gotten his arm caught in the rollers at a paper mill. He said it looked flat and the bones were crushed but they were able to reconstruct it. It looked pretty normal, just about 2/3 the size of his non squished arm.
Looks like she is attempting to fix something. Could be she is going out of procedure to fix the issue, could be there is no procedure, could be lack of training, too strenuous quantity demands etc.
Most of the road accidents happens on the road from home to work, because it's the one we know the best and get everytime less and less cautious about it. It's probably the same. She has a factory work, where she does the same move 500000 times a day ... And she forget to be careful with the routine.
Have you ever been cutting something like a whole pork loin and you nick yourself and you pull back to look at it and it takes a good 4-5 seconds before you start bleeding like crazy? Kind of the same principle.
Tough ass woman! She stayed calm and was able to get it off her arm. Poor design of the machine to be able to depress the activation button by accident. Should be a guard over the button to keep this from occurring
That button should have a safety cap over it or it should be located where the operator can't accidentally press it like she did. I see a lawsuit coming.
I saw a similar video of a man who had his hand flattened in a similar machine. His hand was like a big, flat, five fingered pancake. Horrifying how unforgiving these hydraulic presses are. Very scary and unfortunate that some people are exposed to these dangerous machineries daily to make a living. Especially in countries that don't have OSHA type safety measures and proper training
I worked on a press like that for a time and those plates were SUPER hot and would burn the hell out of you if you weren’t careful. Makes me wonder if that’s the case here too.
Just put your thumb in your mouth and blow. It works in cartoons. But seriously she probably lost her arm and got a settlement from the company. No light curtin or safety switch. An accident was going to happen.
As someone who wrote industrial software for 20 years, why the fuck was there no two hand anti tie down, and is that light curtain only for fucking show?
What I hate the most about this is that you can see that the machine has a safety light curtain that is clearly disabled, the machine shouldn't be able to move with her covering the curtain scan zone.
A staggering level of ignorance about safety around machinery. You can guarantee she never received any safety training when she was hired and she will get likely be entitled to nothing for her injuries.
Always stay out of the line of fire when working with anything like this. Unless the machinery is isolated and de pressurized. Could have easily been avoided.
I’ve dislocated my knee 4 times in the span of a year and the first time was the worst. I didn’t know how to put it back into place because I was twelve and it had never happened before. I was playing hockey in my garage and I wanted to shoot as hard as I could I did and fell over immediately I hit the ground opened my eyes and thought I broke my leg I took my hands off of my knee and it was hanging off the side of my leg. I sat in that garage for 3 hours waiting for help with a complete patellar dislocation it didn’t hurt if I didn’t move but it was cold and I had a t shirt and shorts on, so I started shivering and when my legs shivered my right leg with the knee would lock up. Like completely flex and I couldn’t release it flexing a tendon that isn’t in the right place wasn’t fun but I got loaded up into my moms suv and went to the hospital they took an hour to put it back in after they blew 4 veins trying to get a fentanyl Iv in and I had to completely learn how to use it again, it took 8 months of psychical therapy. Every time since I’ve just straightened my leg and it pops back in. (Hurts like fuck) but I still have to wear a brace whenever I do sports. I’m 15 now. shit blows I’m gonna have to have 2 surgeries before I’m 20 or I’m going to have the knees of a 50 year old at 30.
Even if she triggered the machine it's still a work place accident. She would have to be found criminally negligent to not get compensation. Accidently hitting an easy to hit switch connected to a very unsafe machine is not her fault.
Pressure pushin' down on me Pressin' down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that brings a building down Splits a family in two, puts people on streets Mm-ba-ba-beh, mm-ba-ba-beh Dee-day-da, ee-day-da That's okay
And if this is in America, she gets fired, and she can’t really sue them unless she has a really good lawyer. They might say something in the next safety meeting. “Hey y’all, watch where you’re putting your hands. Okay, enjoy your 12 hour shift with a 30 minute break!”
I work in a metal stamping shop this is the second scariest thing I can think of next to a pin stop exploding in your face. My tool room guy showed me a pic of his old coworker at his last shop who sheared his index and middle finger off in a tool. Just ew glad I work the EDM wire cutter now!
Even the pizza dough press at my work requires both hands to operate the machine, and immediately disengages if one of the two buttons isn’t being held down
Oh NO. Wow, she seems so very calm!! I’d been like them cartoons! Head exploding panicking screaming, acting like I just pee’dmy pants in public!! 😱😱😱😱
Thanks for contributing to
She's very calm, all things considered.
Shock is a crazy thing
I think it's propably shock or being filled to the brim with regrets, i mean i would regret being in that position regardless of who's fault is this, we also don't know the context of how this situation came to be.
now I know how that poor Terminator felt.
Instant Adrenaline..
Yea she’s like: oh not again
Must be happening every week to her..........
Shock

Will you be here tomorrow
Same when I started as an aircraft mechanic. Still almost got killed twice working on them due to idiots.
The guys I worked with in my last plant job had a simple motto: Don't stick your fingers where you wouldn't stick your dick.
Did you try that rotating machine? I heard its the most fun ride.
Damn there goes that arm
That’s why we have two of them
I bet she won’t do that again.
Workplace accidents are scary they just happen so damn quick. Be safe out there guys and be observant
I work with hydroponics, so we have a lot of electrical next to and inside of tanks of water. Twice I’ve gotten shocked, once more badly than the other, and it scared the shit out of me and made me way more cautious. Both times it happened I was alone at work an no one would have found me for hours.
Holy fucking shit! That’s flat as fuck.
Yeah that's what happens when things get crushed
It’s like a deflated balloon. God damn.

I was actually relieved when I saw the video, I was fully preparing myself to see her head getting squished 😬 the internet has ruined me
I'd go into a deep state of depression, oh no I cant use two hands to (insert activity) just because of this accident this one day that I could have prevented with precautions
Can the smashed arm be fixed and functional again? Or is it too late?
Fucking hell it's just like the old cartoon characters that would get ran over by the steam roller
Oh dammit dude I laughed.
She just needs to inflate the arm and it will be fine in no time
You can see where her left arm grazes over the button. This is also a machine malfunction. It should be a 2-stage safety system required to operate to avoid things like this happening.
We ordered an industrial guillotine paper cutter. We had to request the safety switch, and the laser safety guide. It was an extra expense and did not come standard.
The West: we like deadman's switches
In China, they don't care about such things when humans are easily replaced.
At least have some kind of guard to prevent this very foreseeable thing from happening.
Yeah, this looks like it's in a country where they don't care to much about safety.
Malfunction? Or on purposed disabled safety features by workers who wants save time? It is really common… I always have high respect to those machines and personally I would never do something on it without huge mechanical stop.
Omg I didn't notice. She presses does on it
It looks to me like an improper installation of the light curtain safety. I’ve worked on similar presses that were designed to activate the ram when the light curtain is clear to speed up operation. It appears she managed to get completely in front of the light curtain (vertical yellow bar) and trigger the press which should not be possible.
Machine malfunction, or they modified/disabled the safety features.
When an arm gets this crushed, as in flattened, is there any way to reconstruct or are you better off just amputating?
No it's gone. The muscles are completely torn apart, the bone is pulverized and the shards problably tore through the tendons.
Considering this is one of those hydraulic press machines that apply a huuuge pressure, and what we see in the video is her arm getting completely "flattened" as you said, I think there's no way to reconstruct it.

What on earth was she trying to do sticking her arm clear through to the other side? Trust in your equipment but don't encourage disaster
Probably her 3rd shift of the day.
Looks like she is attempting to fix something. Could be she is going out of procedure to fix the issue, could be there is no procedure, could be lack of training, too strenuous quantity demands etc.
Most of the road accidents happens on the road from home to work, because it's the one we know the best and get everytime less and less cautious about it. It's probably the same. She has a factory work, where she does the same move 500000 times a day ... And she forget to be careful with the routine.
I am confused why her poor arm didn’t bleed loads? :(
The crush pressure will have sealed her top arm shut. That's why there's no blood squirting out.
No blood left. Like trying to get toothpaste when it's all flat and squeezed empty.
Have you ever been cutting something like a whole pork loin and you nick yourself and you pull back to look at it and it takes a good 4-5 seconds before you start bleeding like crazy? Kind of the same principle.
Crush injuries like this never have blood splatter. All the blood vessels have been clamped shut by the pressure.
workers always getting the worst part, sad.
Tough ass woman! She stayed calm and was able to get it off her arm. Poor design of the machine to be able to depress the activation button by accident. Should be a guard over the button to keep this from occurring
You should also have to use both hands on separate buttons to activate.
Nope. Just nope.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT , that's brutal man.
Remember factory workers: Never go over, under, around, or through.
Just don’t be in the factory
That button should have a safety cap over it or it should be located where the operator can't accidentally press it like she did. I see a lawsuit coming.
Two button activation also
This is probably in China, so a lawsuit is out of the question.
I am interested in the update
I'll dig a little....
Pancake
Had to relearn how to wipe
She handled that like a champ
Thank you for contributing to
This video just ruined my day. Fuck that's brutal.
Today on hudrolic press channel
Looks like the arm flattening machine is working properly to me.
Seems like a bad idea sticking your arm in a machine that crushes things whether in the process of crushing or not.
I would immediately vomit and pass out. Not a doubt in my mind.
More pain tolerance than me. I'd be screaming like a bitch
Shock makes you feel no pain.
Flat Stanley
If you wanna see someone in shock. That’s the perfect example
That is terrifying as fuck
Woman's life ruined in under ten seconds
She just needs to blow into her thumb and she’ll be fine
It just got flattened…. She can put her thumb in her mouth and blow really hard.
i lol’d
Incredible courage. I wouldn't be able to think. And just as expected her arm came out like a rag. Very sad.
I mean… props… cuz ida probably panicked and torn my shit off at the shoulder
Serious question. Why didn’t the arm pop like a bloody meat balloon? Is she made of playdoh?
I saw a similar video of a man who had his hand flattened in a similar machine. His hand was like a big, flat, five fingered pancake. Horrifying how unforgiving these hydraulic presses are. Very scary and unfortunate that some people are exposed to these dangerous machineries daily to make a living. Especially in countries that don't have OSHA type safety measures and proper training
Did it pulverize her bones? Her arm looks like a deflated swimming raft
Nope nope nope never ever put your hands or arms where you wouldn't put your peepee.
that why machines like that need 2 points of contact to run.
Does anyone know what ended up happening to her?
She got a fat check from workers comp and maybe even a lawsuit for machine safety.
I didn’t knew thats how it would work! I thought it’ll just pop and boom, blood everywhere.. Hope that lady is ok tho
Holy fucking shit. I literally let a small scream out.
"The test run went smoothly, the arm flattening machine is working as intended boss."
Yeah, I’m not clicking that volume button just in case this has audio
her arm came out looking like a sheet of flesh paper
I wonder if with reconstructive surgery it's possible to somewhat get it back.
Unfortunately not. It’s beyond saving
I almost barfed seeing her arm come out.
She took that pretty well
E stop people
I worked on a press like that for a time and those plates were SUPER hot and would burn the hell out of you if you weren’t careful. Makes me wonder if that’s the case here too.
Just put your thumb in your mouth and blow. It works in cartoons. But seriously she probably lost her arm and got a settlement from the company. No light curtin or safety switch. An accident was going to happen.
I have decided not to watch this video.
Oh fuuuucccckk.
WTF, how the hell is she so calm? Pancake arm is not something i want to see again.
Thats what I’m asking. How is she so calm… she must be in so much pain
What kind of press machine would require you to reach your arm THROUGH it?!
I knew a guy who did this with his hand intentionally. I saw him about 10 years later and what was left of it was mostly functional.
I’d say she took it like a champ.
Damn she disnt even flinch
No guarding, light curtains are too small and too close to work area, no die block , single palm button, accident waiting to happen.
Yep, when she leaned in she went inside the light curtain. She should have been wearing pull aways as well.
As someone who wrote industrial software for 20 years, why the fuck was there no two hand anti tie down, and is that light curtain only for fucking show?
What I hate the most about this is that you can see that the machine has a safety light curtain that is clearly disabled, the machine shouldn't be able to move with her covering the curtain scan zone.
She Harry Pottered her arm,
The way her arm looks after she pulls it out is going to stuck in my head permanently, I'm sure of it.
A staggering level of ignorance about safety around machinery. You can guarantee she never received any safety training when she was hired and she will get likely be entitled to nothing for her injuries.
Why OSHA is important: exhibit A.
Always stay out of the line of fire when working with anything like this. Unless the machinery is isolated and de pressurized. Could have easily been avoided.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

Never. Put. Your. Arm. Inside. The. Machine.
This is Grace, under pressure.
You know that one scene in Harry Potter-
Velcom to teh hydraulic press channel
She firmed it really well, didn't panic and got out the machine quick.
I wonder if they can re-attach her hand to her elbow.
Has she tried blowing into the thumb to reinflate the arm?
A small part of me is convinced that it's a fake arm because of no blood/redness. Coping strategie I guess?
There wouldn't be any bleeding as there was nothing sharp there. She got it crushed between two smooth surfaces.
It lloks like she triggered the machine with her elbow. Would she still qualify for workmans comp? Just wondering because that arm is fucked.
It shouldn't be possible to do that if it was a safe machine.
Even if she triggered the machine it's still a work place accident. She would have to be found criminally negligent to not get compensation. Accidently hitting an easy to hit switch connected to a very unsafe machine is not her fault.
Pressure pushin' down on me Pressin' down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that brings a building down Splits a family in two, puts people on streets Mm-ba-ba-beh, mm-ba-ba-beh Dee-day-da, ee-day-da That's okay
I LITERALLY see no reason why she reaches across, and REST her arm on the press..
Walk it off.
she pressed the button with her own elbow to start the machine.
It's okay she can just blow on her thumb, and inflate that bad boy right back up cartoon style

And if this is in America, she gets fired, and she can’t really sue them unless she has a really good lawyer. They might say something in the next safety meeting. “Hey y’all, watch where you’re putting your hands. Okay, enjoy your 12 hour shift with a 30 minute break!”
Damn, she was starting to look like Sarah when she started smoking pot
Looks intentional to me.
Welp... someone's gunna need to give her a hand
def would blow my brains out after getting severely maimed like that. Hope her quality of life returns to any semblance of normal.

That's exactly how my dad lost his fingers. It's because of him and his accident light curtains were then installed on the machines.
Her boss was like; So, you're gonna take a few days off aren't you?!
Omg it smashed it flat. It looks like she hit the button when she leaned forward.
Where's the light curtain?
She's oddly calm that her arm was just pancaked
pure shock
Wow, there's no reaction whatsoever.
Mieda. Ya me ponia nervioso cuando metia la cabeza ahi...
Follow up?
Does it close automatically? Because I was thinking, move faster. Yeah she was incredible calm. Her arm was like all broken...
Oof
damn that must have hurt!
Damn her entire forearm got flat like a pancake! Imagine the bones and pain she must’ve felt
How the fuck was there no blood?!????
The machine after pressing her hand for 2 seconds "Don't do it again".....
I work in a metal stamping shop this is the second scariest thing I can think of next to a pin stop exploding in your face. My tool room guy showed me a pic of his old coworker at his last shop who sheared his index and middle finger off in a tool. Just ew glad I work the EDM wire cutter now!
HOW THE FUCK DOES SHE STAY SO CALM!
Shock
Correct me if I’m wrong but they are probably going to have to amputate it right? That thing is flat like wile.e Coyote falling off a cliff
She was w Way to calm. I would have freaked
why is there no blood or injuries at all? should skin tear apart and blodd splatter all over the place?
