Not just good ideas, they're The Law.

The ward boy fractures his arm, while his colleague sustains serious injuries, including a punctured urinary bladder and severe internal bleeding.
Two employees of the Tata Memorial Hospital's treatment and research centre in Khargar in Navi Mumbai suffered grievous injuries on Saturday evening when one of them walked into the centre's MRI room holding an oxygen cylinder, activating the machine's monstrous magnetic field.
The two employees - one a technician and the other a ward boy - were pulled to the machine like a toy magnet pulls a pin and remained stuck to it for nearly four hours before an engineer from General Electric arrived and deactivated the magnetic field.
While the ward boy, Sunil Jadhav, 28, who brought the oxygen cylinder into the MRI room, fractured his elbow, the technician Swami Ramaiah, 35, who was sandwiched between Jadhav and the cylinder on the one side and the MRI machine on the other, suffered serious injuries to the lower part of his body, including a punctured urinary bladder and severe internal bleeding.

The magic mystery machine uses invisible power to hold them against the wall.
Idiots.
PING!!!
Knowing where the 1, 3 and 5 gauss lines are is a really good thing. Wonder if they were painted on the floor like every OTHER facility I’ve ever been to...
There should be metal detectors at each door to the room.
Not just good ideas, they're The Law.
They need Metal Doctors.
Somewhere here there is a 'ta ta' joke that I dont want to go near ..,
and then find mysself : "ZOTTED" !
Somebody must have hit the switch to power it up..
Nicely played...!
I’ve never been that attracted to my work....
“There should be metal detectors at each door to the room.”
I’d say the metal detector worked rather well....
Doc: "You probably should be aware of MRIs, too."
BtD: "Oh, yeah? What happens if I have one?"
Doc: "It'll tear the pacemaker out of yer chest and leave ya dangling by the little bitty wires."
BtD: "And that's a bad thing, right?"
Doc: "We like to think so."
Then there was the cop who carefully took off his carry gun and put it on a cabinet so's not to disturb the machine. 
It wasn't quite far enough.
The “Ward Boy” needs to be fired asap. The poor Technician may end up in a wheelchair or without legs at all. Those MRI are very powerful. Somebody was not paying attention as to where they were. I don’t get why it took so long unless this happened with almost no one else in the building.
It's sad when they are gone.
But, guilty.
I wonder why they can’t just power it down, unplug it, as it were. Don’t know much about the hardware side of these machines.
