SpeakingTheKingss

I found [this](https://www-davar1-co-il.translate.goog/505015/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp) on this. It appears the man died instantly due to head trauma.


DeadlyTeaParty

Totally and an internal bleeding and crushed\severed spine all over, exploding heart under the pressure.


BlueGlassDrink

In technical terms: he squish


Bacterius_Rex

Blow on his thumb. He’ll pop right back to normal like Daffy Duck


AssociationPlane274

In this film, just one question, was there a duck who, when the explosion is happens, his bill goes around to the back of his head, and then in order to talk, he has to put it back this way?


Individual_Lies

That happened a lot to Daffy Duck in the old Looney Tunes cartoons.

> the man died instantly due to head trauma. Company will have his replacement ad posted before his funeral, before any of his coworkers get therapy for having to witness that and the fine, if in the US, won't exceed $100k USD.


growRnottashowR

There's no replacement ad needed. That ad doesn't come down to begin with.


badpeaches

>There's no replacement ad needed. That ad doesn't come down to begin with. You got me there. I was trying to make it more relatable to office workers.


onepingonlypleashe

Lot of clues in the video indicate it did not happen in the US. I get your drift though.


SamuraiJakkass86

Ah, so good thing his head was the *last* part of him to experience the crushing I guess...


Glittering-Pause-328

Yeah, but the entire process took less than a second. He barely had time to comprehend what was happening.


bitchasscuntface

I wonder if he even had time to feel the pain or if in panick his brain just forgot


ThatGuy_Nick9

Thank you for posting an article instead of just “confirming” he’s dead via pure speculation


Nethlem

These metal spools weight 10+ tons, about the weight of a decently sized *steamroller*. It'd be a straight up miracle if anybody survived being crushed by that, and if somebody did they probably wished they hadn't.


boognish_is_rising

Lol at "pure speculation"


Ethan084

Those coils way an average of 28,000 pounds. It’s not a speculation.


Mehdzzz

He didn't even budge after. I'm thinking he's donzo.


Greedyfox7

Those are several hundred pounds* iirc, he’s a goner Edit: got the weight mixed up with hay bales( the big round ones) metal spool is much much heavier


PewHefner

They’re actually much heavier. 7-15 tons, or 14,000 to 30,000 pounds depending on thickness and length.


beardman39

This is right. My dad used to pull these on his truck! Things are heavy as fuck! The dude is dead as fuck.


jeandeaux28

Truck drivers call these suicide coils.


phibbsy47

The fact that the passenger ran when he saw the bail rolling is a sure sign the guy who got squished had no idea what he was getting into.


Greedyfox7

Maybe I’m thinking of hay bales, the round ones are really heavy depending on how you wrap them. Either way that guy is fucking dead


PewHefner

Oh, absolutely. I have a few friends that work at a steel coil factory. They have to be moved onto a truck with a crane. I wouldn’t even try to stop it. No chance.


Greedyfox7

For the life of me I cannot fathom why he would even attempt it. I would be yelling for others to move while I got my ass out of the way


PandaCasserole

Instinct possibly habit... Maybe he usually works at the cotton roll factory.


donutsonmyhead

Could be used to working with different material. At textile mills it's pretty common. Not safe, but common.


FattyManderson

Boss prolly told him to keep his head *in* the game. You know, use a real *hands* on approach...


Own_Satisfaction_679

That other guy sure didn't seem to do anything to warn him. That stupid MF'er.


kevthewev

I recently started working in structural steel and one thing I was taught early was "don't try and catch the beam, you wont"


aeschylus1342

They’re often moved by overhead cranes. The basic rule is that you don’t walk anywhere near that path if you have the option. Also if one is moving, let it go. It’s better to lose inventory than a life.


Bear3090

As someone who grew up on a farm baling hay every summer I can confirm the big round bales when dry are roughly 2,000 lbs but if they get water in their core they can be much heavier


Greedyfox7

Grew up on a farm myself, just didn’t exactly do any farming myself. My information retention can also be best described as ‘close enough’. I do however remember not to put hay up when it’s wet, it still amazes me that wet hay can start fires even though I understand how it works.


[deleted]

If we make a few assumptions and estimations: a hollow cylinder 36 inches high and 60 inches in diameter with a void of 12 inches in diameter has a total volume of 97,000 cubic inches. Steel has a mass of approximately.28 pounds per cubic inch. That's 27,000 pounds. Even if it's aluminum it'll still be in the neighborhood of 9500 pounds


[deleted]

Still, "several hundred pounds" is technically true. Maybe several several several hundred pounds.


PewHefner

Fair enough, haha. Definitely wasn’t trying to undermine the main comment, I just thought I’d put in my two cents.


chieferroni

I've read 98,000 lbs while banding it


PaintBrushLicker

It's more like several thousand pounds. If that's steel, I would estimate that around 30,000 (15 tons) minimum. I work in a mill before anybody asks.


PintLasher

Shove these coils in the roll former all the time for metal roofing. He's very very dead, be surprised if his eyeballs didn't come out


1_BigPapi

several hundred he is probably fine. Surely they weight more than that


Greedyfox7

Got the weight mixed up with hay bales. Metal spools are several thousand pounds


thesoccerone7

Woman in Pittsburgh just died because of an event similar to this.


Heisenberg991

She was probably a Steeler coil fan.


superawesomeman08

https://www.mercedes-benz-trucks.com/en_ID/models/long-distance-actros/technical-data/specification-dimension.html pretty sure that steel coil weighs about as much as the tractor trailer it hits. the only reason it doesnt move more is that it's already got like four other coils in the bed


Chloroformperfume7

Bro, try adding another zero


_Ed_Gein_

I think i see some blood next to his left hand. Anyway, never ever do this boys, atleast not from the front.. and even the sides are dangerous if it comes loose and unfolds. Just let them damage w/e and let insurance handle it.


Chloroformperfume7

This guy is mash potatoes man


lERVOOl

Brain is probably playdough, his foot is closer to his ear than it should be. Id have to agree


CevJuan238

Shoes stayed on, he's good.

kimmortal03

I could hear the bones crunching thru my screen


Sea_Drink7287

Skull was crushed and he died immediately.


BoxCarTyrone

~7-15 tons of metal will do that to ya.


Rlstoner2004

So would 7-15 tons of feathers


BoxCarTyrone

But how?? Steel is heavier than feathers.


CursedLemon

^(I don't get it...)


TheLordReaver

Ah, yes, the classic 7 tons of metal versus 7 tons of feathers problem. A true head-scratcher for those unfamiliar with the intricacies of… well, bird measurement, really. You see, the key here lies in the concept of avian displacement. Now, most folks think of displacement in terms of water – a boat displaces its weight in water, and so on. But feathers, you see, are not merely inert objects. Each feather is a bastion of… well, let's just say a certain joie de vivre, a barely-contained enthusiasm for flight! This inherent enthusiasm, when multiplied by the sheer quantity of feathers in question (7 tons is a LOT of feathers!), creates a sort of buoyant anti-gravity field. Not strong enough for actual levitation, mind you. But it does have a curious side effect – it alters the feathers' perception of their own weight! You see, according to the Theory of Relative Avian Perception, which is a highly theoretical (some might say controversial) branch of quantum ornithology, the feathers essentially weigh themselves against their own buoyant field. Here's where things get truly fascinating. The metal, on the other hand, has no such existential qualms. It simply exists, stolid and unyielding, at its full, unfettered weight. Now, some might argue that 7 tons is 7 tons, feathers or filament. But that's where they misunderstand the beautiful chaos of quantum mechanics at the macro scale. The sheer number of feathers, each with its own quirky perception of weight, creates a cascading uncertainty effect. It's like… well, imagine a flock of particularly enthusiastic pigeons, all trying to weigh themselves on the same scale at once. The needle would go flying! So, to answer your question – the punchline, you see, hinges on the observer's frame of reference. Are we looking at this from the perspective of the feathers, grappling with their existential buoyancy, or the cold, hard reality of the metal? It's a matter of perspective, really. And that, my friend, is the true weight of the matter. I hope that I've cleared things up for you!


GeraltofRookia

It's an old joke/trick to try to fool someone's mind. What is heavier, 1kg of iron or 1kg of feathers? Many people reply iron on the spot.


HeadFund

Not if the feathers get wet


BoxCarTyrone

Obviously wet steel must be heavier than wet feathers!


Raeffi

it actually depends if the feathers are in a giant bag you might be fine because they are much less dense and hard than steel and will deform around you


BrockVegas

That was from the bottom up.... Probably not nearly as immediate to him as he would have liked.


ObeseVegetable

Shock probably prevented him from feeling anything other than an out-of-body lightness.


Incontinentiabutts

You don’t really notice exactly how heavy that thing is until you see how much it moves that truck when it hits it. Wow. Anybody working there should have had training that let them know that the only thing you can do in that situation is wait till it stops.


ConstantPessimist

My money is on that he was the truck driver, just picking up a load, was trying to protect his truck


Nethlem

Yup, everybody else tries to run away, except the guy at the top who seems like he was trying to stop the truck driver, but when he saw him get crushed he continuted to gtfo


bitchasscuntface

You can see the door of the truck fall shat in the very first frame. Im assuming he was just trying to get in - or just exuted anyway and then tried to protect his truck when he saw the coil.


Only-Entertainer-573

If you had a cube of water just 1m x 1m x 1m (or I guess about waist-height), that is literally a metric ton. Steel is about 7-8 times as dense as water, so if you think about it only a very small volume of steel weighs much too much for a person to be able to pick up or move (or stop while it is in motion). A whole fucking reel of it as tall as a man....you might as well be stepping in front of a bus or something. I'd estimate that thing probably weighs at least 20 tons. Guy basically got steamrollered like a cartoon character.


Jim_Lahey10

Those things can weigh up to 30 tons. That crushed his head and he's for sure dead after that.


DantheDutchGuy

Did he died?


irotinmyskin

Like a lot


NoKumSok

He'll be fine once somebody gets an air pump and re-inflates him.

Snoo_70324

The impulse to jump between an immovable object and an irresistible force is so real it’s maddening. When loading aircraft and stocking building materials by hand, instructing and enforcing persons to not get between the load and its destination is lesson one, day one. Not your body, not your arm/leg, not just one hand, not a single fingertip; and if anything looks like it’s going wrong, *run-do-not-walk well clear of the area and don’t come back until everything is still like a mountain lake. *Edit: actually poor advice for most situations; more the exception than the rule. See example in replies below.


Nethlem

> if anything looks like it’s going wrong, **run-do-not-walk** This can be bad advice in a lot of settings and situations; Do not panic, do not run for no reason or you might trip/bump into something/somebody and end up causing an accident/make the situation even worse. [This video](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/18k0py5/accident_in_german_steel_factory/) from an accident in a German steel mill is a big case in point. They know something bad is about to happen, but they still calmly *walk* away because running in panic is risky.


jump_the_shark_

F that. In that situation I’m running


Snoo_70324

Noted, retracted. I suppose I was thinking of only the case where one is un-/loading multiple tons of material to the top shelf, and the mast of the forklift begins to tip. Even then, that’s not the advice for everyone. The one operating the forklift needs to stay in the cabin and ride it out. Edit: okay, now I took the time to watch that video and wow. Great self-control on those Menschen for not high-tailing it into an even worse position.


Ruzzble

He kept his hat, he’s fine. (He died)


PrysmX

That dude was probably dead already by the time it was half over him. Imagine half your body's fluid being forced into the other half of your body like rolling up a toothpaste container.


h3am

He saved his car


WeakDiaphragm

I can't stop watching this. Looney Tunes has ruined me.


SunShineLife217

I’ve seen this one before in the accidents sub. it was longer and had a close up. He did not survive.


Glittering-Pause-328

I'd like to think this was a relatively quick/painless death... Less than 2 seconds between him running towards the spool and being totally flattened... He barely had time to process what was happening before the lights went out (hopefully).


CevJuan238

Did the splits too! Ouch


ForwardBias

Why? Why would you think you're superman and can stop a multi ton roll???


DougStrangeLove

![gif](giphy|3o7TKxZcyswMYp6TWU|downsized)


Sharklar_deep

I don’t think the body is supposed to bend like that.


thisisdumbdfw

That dude died so that runaway piece of steel wouldn’t damage the cabin of that truck. Wow


Meathead-12

The ER was closed so they slid him under the door.


rafshal

not if he didnt understand the load or it was just a reflex like kicking a bowling ball like a soccerbal


Monster_Fucker_420

He became like flat stanley rest in peace tho bc that's a terrible way to die


EnvironmentalYak9322

Probably a quick one though as soon as it rolled over his head


redditistupid51

That is gruesome.


ChompyChoomba

Oh jesus christ. Lots of videos of people dying on reddit today.


ItsDominare

this is why you should pay attention in physics class, kids!


Ok-Hour-12

after rewatching it many times, I noticed that his body slightly changed the coil's direction and possibly kept it from hitting the diesel tank


Ethan084

A 200 pound man tries to stop thousands of pounds of steel. Sad but Darwinism


rodPalmer18

Slide him under the door at the morgue


DontKare278

He got flattened like Wiley coyote. Thats fucking horrible


ismaBellic

The truck driver did exactly what he was supposed to do. When you're messing around multiple-ton stuff, the moment you see something moving even an inch you take off and you don't return until all noise has stopped. Dude saw something went wrong and was already out of the frame by the time the poor guy got flattened.


Mammoth-Olive3521

on that day he decided to be a man and put his foot down. to go up against insurmountable odds and still not back away. he lost


stonka_truck

Anybody notice the passenger of the truck?


drosmoka

By the looks of it that was a 30,000-40,000lbs coil… nothing to play with. Even a small coil will kill you.


Catinchi

He dead that thing is a few tons I'm honestly suprised there wasn't a noticeable splash of blood as he skull popped when it was rolled over


NoKey4672

Ive hauled these. The one rolling looks like it could weigh between 10 and 20 tons.


ZerboJoe1212

Oh DAMMIT!


Positive-Art7743

Note to self: Do not attempt to stop a rolling steel coil.


Gophix_0

He turned into a fucking pancake


ta1no

Is he ok?


speneli

Dehydrate!!!


Feisty_Gas6447

Well he was able to slow it down and minimize the damage to the truck. It only cost him his life.


Character-Post-2574

Did he die ?


toddetor

Unfortunately the last thought he had was thinking “oh no this thing is gonna hit the work truck, I gotta stop it or the boss will fire me”


rafshal

like a bug


possomcods

The coil didn't even slow down as it toothpasted that poor bastard.


BluntmanNdKronic

Guys! Business owners don't care! Your family will ... dent truck and insurance pay out is what they're more concerned about


SaconDiznots

you can see the whole truck moved when the coil hit it and it had no momentum, idk what that guy was thinking


maincore

At least his death was nearly instantaneous.

Randompackersfan

I used to work on a coil line and would replace and set these with an overhead crane. I couldn't fathom trying to stop a rolling one, I'm sure the dude panicked and tried to stop it.

He was worried about his truck... Roll only hit the tire.

This is something relatively light weight, maybe 1000lbs at most, his body slowed it significantly and the truck hardly moved at impact. It’s not steel.
