“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 410

Saturday, May 15th, 2021

I said I wasn’t going to make Safety Saturday a thing, and I’m still not. However, I do have a couple of videos I can’t pass up.

“Handling Explosives in Underground Mines”. There’s some good information in here, if you are a miner.

The most important safety tip, which is not covered in this video, is: do not try to cross Boyd Crowder.

Bonus #1: How about something different? Like trains?

One of the craziest railroad films of all time, “Escape from Limbo” is part Twilight Zone episode, part safety film that is just as entertaining as any half-hour TV show from the 1950’s. The film tells the bizarre tale of Pennsylvania Railroad fireman Henry who apparently gets killed in a hunting accident. He ends up in Limbo where a Devil explains that he is now required to cause accidents on the railroad line — in an attempt to gather other souls for his patron. This unique premise allows the filmmakers to show nearly all types of accidents, from switch weights dropped on feet to maiming and — death.

Bonus #2: This could have gone in Military History Monday, but it is short and amused me. The Marines remind you: “Safety First”.

Don’t forget to hydrate.
