LOL, I know exactly what you are talking about.

As far as helping someone with a security issue, I have had similar experiences. They have no idea what they have opened themselves up for then wonder why they are a victim.

It’s simply that these rules are not enforced for privileged classes.

Nailed it.

Equity killed her. If she embraced equity, she bears responsibility…not OSHA, not the airline.

Terrible! I am very sorry for this poor woman and her family.

You don’t hear of this happening much.

That's because most every place that this can happen at, has rules disallowing any free-hanging hair. I'm guessing she wasn't within hair regs when this happened, and if the company tries to pursue that (they aren't liable), then here come some more anti-white riots.

You are probably right.

There wasn’t an emergency stop button on the conveyor?

I'm sure there was, but she was probably past the savable point before anyone had time to notice what happened, much less get to the button and push it.
