Physics at work

   / Physics at work #11  
There was an incident several years ago at a Defense contractor just north Baltimore. A man was running a machine very similar to the one shown in the video and when he ran across a speed bump (just outside a bay door to the plant), it jolted him forward hard enough to bruise his heart...killed him.
The manufacturer said this could never happen, so they recreated the same accident using the same machine. IIRC, a safety engineer was operating the machine. Same thing happened and he was killed as well...

Wow, all I can say is...that was stupid... :confused3:
