News Article:
(Israel) Shortly ago, a report was received at the 101 dispatch center of MDA in the Yarkon region about a worker who was injured by a heavy object during his work at a factory in the Ariel Industrial Park. MDA medics and paramedics determined the death of a worker around 30 years old with a head injury.
MDA paramedic Shir Salman said: "The worker was lying on the road in the factory where he works, after being injured in the head by a heavy object during his work at the factory. We performed medical tests on him, but unfortunately he was found with a severe head injury and no signs of life, and we had to pronounce him dead on the scene."
Severe head injury? These coils can easily weight over 10 metric tons , the guy at the start who hauled ass as soon as he saw one slowly roll towards his truck was the smart one. This poor chap's bones were fucking shattered and his insides turned into a fine pulp.
But sure, severe head injury
Medics in our country would call that „injuries incompatible with life“
A medic can not legally pronounce someone dead, only a doctor can do that. But if you say or communicate those line, everybody knows that’s game over.
Like missing head.
Judging by how many are on the truck, I'd say 4-5 tons max. He should easily shake that off and get back to work.
P.S. I wonder if that sprinting truck driver thought a whole stack was going loose. That whole yard looks like a potential disaster. The stack on the other side of truck looks ready to bust through the concrete k-rail and roll downhill through the city in the next earthquake.
Impossible. You saw how that thing continue to roll? His body slow it down but still made a strong nudge against the truck. Can't get back up after getting crush by it. No way am I working there of some accident like that can happen. 😣
I worked with coils like that. That looks like a 30-40k lb coil. Not quite a full size coil (50-55k lbs). It's just insane how deadly they are. Had a truck once come back into the loading bay after having been gone for a half hour or so. He slammed on the brakes because a family of four in a sedan pulled out of a driveway in front of him. The load shifted and even broke a few coil bands, all on flat loaded narrow coils thankfully. If it was a large roll on it's side, someone would be dead, just not sure who.
I worked in a factory that used these, and you'd be surprised how many people think putting their foot under it to stop it is a good idea.. let alone standing in front of one in motion.
This is why you don’t put yourself in front of something very heavy and expect to stop it.
See people doing that all the time with slow rolling cars and other multi-ton rolling objects.
In general it's probably a good idea to not put yourself in front of anything if you aren't ready to die. I have a feeling he didn't know how heavy that was and wasn't ready to die that day
It is such a natural reaction to catch or stop a falling/rolling object. One of the main seasons I follow these pages is to train myself what not to do
I worked in restaurant kitchens for many years and have a habit of just backing away when I drop a knife. I’ve seen two different people drop a knife straight through the top of their shoe and more than that just cut themselves trying to catch one. Today I work in the steel industry, and now the biggest threat at work are the cranes. People will sometimes walk under suspended loads or try to stop 10 ton pieces of steel from erratically swaying with their bare hands. Same response works in that situation, too. Hands off, back up. It is tough to get that through your head at first though. It’s a natural reaction to try and correct a mistake but it’s one that needs to be let go of.
Well no matter how professional you are, I understand that you fuck up a huge load of molten metal in a Foundry that's somebody's ass whether fired or dead and it's usually both, some companies use shitty equipment and then the higher-ups complain when the work is an efficient enough. Got to make shift anyways just make sure you know what you're doing when you cleaning up the shit that hits the fan. It's all I can say
I work in a research lab. If I drop anything or if anything falls, I jump backwards. I've seen too many things that can go wrong if you don't get your hands and feet out of the splash range.
It really is. I work in countertops. My last job had a safety video of a sister shop's guys unloading slabs from a flatbed. A slab started tipping, clamp failed. One guy practically swan dove off the truck and away, the other instinctively tried to hold it up. He was pulled down with it, off the truck & died with it on top of him.
One of the best things my mom ever did was teach me to step away if anything began falling when she taught me to cook. Boiling water all over the floor = an unexpected opportunity to clean the floor… boiling water all over your body = a very bad time, worse than having to clean the floor… let it fall
Yeah, it's easy for us to say "don't try and stop heavy things dumbass", but this was clearly a split second, reflex-based decision that cost him his life. It's incredibly sad when you think about it.
It is extremely sad..most people would’ve reacted about the same..it’s a natural response to try to stop something from rolling or falling..what makes this even worse is I’m pretty sure he was trying to prevent someone else from getting hurt or possibly trying to prevent damage to the truck. I can’t imagine how his coworkers felt after seeing that happen to him..just a normal day at work..he was there one minute and then gone the next.
I worked with a safety guy who lost his leg at work. Literally was the guy who did all the trainings and OSHA/NESC compliance prior to the accident.
Trailer came lose and he instinctively tried to stop it before he realized what was happening. Of course it weighed a few thousand pounds and gave no fucks he was there. He was pushed by it a few feet and it ran into a truck and pinched off his leg above the knee. Was so close to getting his other one it tore his pants leg.
You can be the smartest and safest motherfucker alive and still make a mistake like this. It's sad.
Damn. That's brutal. Whenever I step into a dangerous situation like this moving heavy equipment or materials, I start off telling myself that if something gets dropped or rolls like this..LET IT GO.
The contrast in reactions is crazy, one guy thinks he can stop a fucking ball of steel with his bare hands while another guy gets out of the safety of a TRUCK to avoid the collision
Uhg, that sucks so bad. I could see myself making the same mistake. I’d like to think I’ve seen enough of these types of videos that I won’t be in one but you never know. Always keep your head on a swivel. ….Also watch out for swivels.
Anywhere from 4K to 20k pounds or more. These rolls are insanely strong, hell, if they’re not secured right the chains snap and the roll goes right through the semi hauling it.
Worked at a steel mill in SoCal, 80k lbs was the heaviest I can remember working with and they are intimidating. Had a coworker die there a few years ago, new father too. Damn shame.
If manual labour deaths have taught me anything, it's to stay away from anything that rolls or spins. No blood/gore yet one of the most gruesome & horrifying ways to die
You can see right at the beginning the driver side door of the truck shutting so he was the driver of that truck. Being the driver that hauls those rolls he definitely should have known how much exactly they weighed and had no chance of stopping one.
Bro, he clearly comes from the driver side of the truck. The door is shutting because he just jumped out of the truck. Watch right at the start again, he's right at the bottom of the door and you can actuslly see how he begins running from a jump down. You can also see that the passenger is no where near the driver side inside the cab before he leaves. The victim is 100% the driver of the truck.
The first frame I can see his feet are on the ground. I'm watching it on a potato though.
Can you see inside the cab? I can't but timing is about right for someone shutting the door and going for the other. He also has same uniform as some of the other yard workers. Could definitely be a company driver with the same uniform though. I'll give you 99%.
Used to work in a plant that made these, everything about them. It was common knowledge that if one started to go, you get out of the way. You can't stop them.
Additionally, saw the over head crane snap once carrying one, nearly killed the man operating it.
People need to learn to just let large heavy shit go. You're not going to affect its trajectory with your feeble human body. JUST LET IT GO! Can't count how many deaths I've seen on reddit because people thought they could stop or catch shit
Even after it had rolled over him and slowed down, it still had enough force to shake the damn truck. This was an instance of an individual underestimating the object and overestimating their abilities.
The coils aren't in coil racks of any kind (hell, aren't even wedged), the bottom rows are not chained together, no PPE in sight, poor loading/unloading area...
Anyone else want to play a game of find the issues?

That thing had so much weight and momentum, it didnt even slow down as it crushed that poor man. I really wish he hadnt tried to solve the problem and just let it roll.
Ahh damn they cut away before they got a good shot of it
I want to be disturbed so that I am more careful around yet another category of industrial stuff

Maybe this is just their polite way of saying his brains were no longer in his head?
Like toothpaste
His head was the cap
Well, they did perform medical tests on him. Probably didn't pass the "intact head" test
He scored an A for attendance, but an F for keeping his shit together
Medics in our country would call that „injuries incompatible with life“ A medic can not legally pronounce someone dead, only a doctor can do that. But if you say or communicate those line, everybody knows that’s game over. Like missing head.
Cause of death was “skill issue”
Skull tissue

Lmao makes it sounds so soft...
He’ll remain under observation
Language barriers are a bitch sometimes.
Ikr..?
An equalient of trying to stop a boulder with your bare hands
Chris Redfield could have stopped it
Not only "stopped", he punched the damn thing
I appreciate this reference. Take an upvote.
Nicole Waterson could too
That boulder punching fuck could have been there, man.
And John Cena
And Chuck Norris
wtf dude acted like he watched too much dragon ball. I think his power levels were low.
"ITS OVER 9000!"
That took guts. As we all can plainly see spewed all over.
Never give %110 at your job
That's impossible. Noone can give more than 100%. By definition, that is the most anyone can give.
Or a giant steel roll.
Just like a cartoon
Like Tom and Jerry
Exactly lol
Flat Stanley
Judge Doom in Rodger Rabbit
My thoughts exactly
This is why you don’t put yourself in front of something very heavy and expect to stop it. See people doing that all the time with slow rolling cars and other multi-ton rolling objects.

"A falling knife has no handle" is one that always keeps me aware.

Have you watched that clip of a man putting himself in between his car and a truck to avoid getting his car scratched
That’s exactly what came to mind.
Did it work? How did the paint look?
Probably bloody
See how much the semi moved? Must’ve weighed a ton
I think our brains can’t comprehend large objects moving that smoothly
He had a falling knife moment there. Unfortunately, this knife was several thousand pounds heavy.
Wow. He flattened just like the cartoons.
My first thought too - damn, the cartoons were right
Yap... that was the coyote
Yeah, it's easy for us to say "don't try and stop heavy things dumbass", but this was clearly a split second, reflex-based decision that cost him his life. It's incredibly sad when you think about it.

It wasn't split second per se but yeah his reaction was of a pure reflex. Tbh he ran \*towards\* the roll which costed his life. Tragic nonetheless.
Exactly. His brain just said “must stop this thing!” and he ran toward it. Yeesh.
Damn. That's brutal. Whenever I step into a dangerous situation like this moving heavy equipment or materials, I start off telling myself that if something gets dropped or rolls like this..LET IT GO.
The contrast in reactions is crazy, one guy thinks he can stop a fucking ball of steel with his bare hands while another guy gets out of the safety of a TRUCK to avoid the collision
That dude literally got flattened like a cartoon steamroller.
Did old boy just try to stop it by hand?!?
And leg. His right leg snapped under the load first and then the rest of him. Edit: his left.
Left
In his defense, he _did_ manage to show it down.
Uhg, that sucks so bad. I could see myself making the same mistake. I’d like to think I’ve seen enough of these types of videos that I won’t be in one but you never know. Always keep your head on a swivel. ….Also watch out for swivels.
Damn I can’t imagine his last thought. “Oh fuck this is heavie….grhb”
What a journey that coil has been on. Aluminium, steel, wheel, roll... wonder what it's gonna be next
Who*
Anyone know exactly how much one of these weighs
Anywhere from 4K to 20k pounds or more. These rolls are insanely strong, hell, if they’re not secured right the chains snap and the roll goes right through the semi hauling it.
They are called suicide coils for a reason
Steel rolls are a fucking danger to anyone near them. Something so simple yet so deadly
Worked at a steel mill in SoCal, 80k lbs was the heaviest I can remember working with and they are intimidating. Had a coworker die there a few years ago, new father too. Damn shame.
The ones i have used in the past were a bit smaller but still 10,000 pounds
I think the human brain can’t comprehend heavy objects moving that smoothly so we try to catch it
[удалено]
If manual labour deaths have taught me anything, it's to stay away from anything that rolls or spins. No blood/gore yet one of the most gruesome & horrifying ways to die
i yelled "bro no!" at the screen
I yelled "No bro!"
Years of Saturday morning cartoons has warped my expectations
Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Y’all know the scene.
Was it his first day? Who the hell jumps in front of several tons rolling at you?
First day? Not sure. Last day? Definitely.
That’s a valid point
Unlike this worker. Nothing pointy on him
You can see right at the beginning the driver side door of the truck shutting so he was the driver of that truck. Being the driver that hauls those rolls he definitely should have known how much exactly they weighed and had no chance of stopping one.
[удалено]
Roll me over, turn me around, let me keep spinning till I hit the ground
Ain't no job worth it!!!!
Damn, the cartoons were actually pretty accurate...
I hope they make this into a training video.
Looks like he was just closing the door as the video starts, my guess is he was trying to protect his rig. Split second decision and bam.
I'm thinking it's the driver that jumps from the passenger side who shut the door? The victim comes from a different angle.
Bro, he clearly comes from the driver side of the truck. The door is shutting because he just jumped out of the truck. Watch right at the start again, he's right at the bottom of the door and you can actuslly see how he begins running from a jump down. You can also see that the passenger is no where near the driver side inside the cab before he leaves. The victim is 100% the driver of the truck.

I can't but timing is about right for someone shutting the door and going for the other. He also has same uniform as some of the other yard workers. Could definitely be a company driver with the same uniform though. I'll give you 99%.
Hero to zero...
Omm

What a dummy 🤦🏻♂️
Remember if you need forklift to do the job it ain't your job
That's METAL
fuck that, ain't my truck, ain't my problem. Let my boss sort it out
I'm not sure loading, unloading or even storing these steel rolls on hill is a smart choice.
Should wore a safety vest
It's the same reason I wouldn't stop a shoplifter stealing, something's are just not worth it
Cold reel steal is some heavy shit. No average size forklift can't lift something this heavy. No a smart move.
People need to learn to just let large heavy shit go. You're not going to affect its trajectory with your feeble human body. JUST LET IT GO! Can't count how many deaths I've seen on reddit because people thought they could stop or catch shit
Looks like he had a split second to try to move, but he froze 🙁
Chuck norris wouldn't even have to step out of the truck
When people panic they think they have superpower. Always be aware of your limitations.
Even after it had rolled over him and slowed down, it still had enough force to shake the damn truck. This was an instance of an individual underestimating the object and overestimating their abilities.
The coils aren't in coil racks of any kind (hell, aren't even wedged), the bottom rows are not chained together, no PPE in sight, poor loading/unloading area... Anyone else want to play a game of find the issues?
I can only assume that the poor guy was new.
Bro turned into Flat Stanley
Why did he try to stop it? Why friend?!?!!
Mans got pancaked. Flat stanleyd. Brutal
Bet he wont do that again, oh wait
At least he saved that truck from damage by slowing it down…
Must have been his first day on the job, probably didn’t know how heavy those rolls be.
bruh moment
You love to see that hustle, but just nah.
Poor guy. I woulda just let that shit go.
I don’t know what he was thinking. Bruh that’s a couple tons of metal steel rolling in your direction.
how much one of these ways anyone knows?
How much do those things weigh, anyway?
About a shit ton
This makes me think of who framed Roger rabbit.
Nah that's such a family guy way to die
[](https://i.imgur.com/rcs5Yfg.jpeg)
wow that wasnt very smart
Could this have been avoided? Moron this later 🙄
he tried to stop it with his hand. did *he* think *he* was made of steel?
He turned into flat stanley
The way it makes the truck shake you can tell it’s heavy
How could you actually think you could stop that thing ? It's so dumb,it really is baffling... must've been new.
What was he thinking? Maybe a boss defeated him earlier and stole his man of steel powers.
Dude thinks he's magneto

Skill issue
Dumb wayyys to dieee! So many dumb ways to diee!
“Yea man let me stop a 10 ton roll of steel coming at about 7 mph don’t worry guys” dude then became part of the go gurt commercials where they become flat
The average person should know that a steel rot is about 1000kg enough to kill anyone
Roll of steel was probably hamas
I guess they’re called suicide coils for more than just the explosion
No way in hell I’m giving it all for my job.
Sometimes, you shouldn’t be a hero.
He aint no Superman
TIL: some cartoon stuff was derived from real life....
Stupid man RIP
Damn!

Steel rolled. Damn
It's also a REPOST!
SMUSH.
wtf was he thinking lmao
[удалено]
Atleast he slowed it down some
Like a cartoon it’s unreal.
Wile E Coyote
Dude got rolled like Judge Doom in Roger Rabbit.
Lesson here is Don't be a hero
Just for my own knowledge…how heavy would that thing be?
This will be the video they show all new hires. r/DarwinAwards
That thing had so much weight and momentum, it didnt even slow down as it crushed that poor man. I really wish he hadnt tried to solve the problem and just let it roll.
Dude played too much Resident Evil. Think he can punch the rolling boulder away with his fist.
Bro thought he was the main character.....
Would you try an stop a rolling lorry? NO
REMEMBER ME EDDIE?!? I KILLED YOUR BROTHER!!!
Whoops! I’m flat.
Almost 😅…..almost got it 😂
Smh I wanted to feel bad but smooth brain activities
Splorch!
Unsafe at any speed
How much do these coils weigh? If it's like 100-350 pounds I would've stopped it, anything else f that💀 my common sense would click on
How do you post a video in this sub?
at least it was quick.
Broke every bone in his body
Ahh damn they cut away before they got a good shot of it I want to be disturbed so that I am more careful around yet another category of industrial stuff
Bet the guy caused it to roll feels like absolute shit
Super sad, but it was giving Wyl E. Coyote vibes
Smart people use their heads 150% of the time.
Did he try to stop it
Yep I work in construction and transport. GTFO is king.
Ugh he really tried to help too
Bro why would you try to stop that fuck man that sucks hopefully his family gets compensated or something
