>>Shake hands with danger

—————————

Worked two years in metal fabrication shop.

A large pre-crusher came in and another worker was told to remove and rebuild the two hydrolic cylinders to the 5K lbs vertical door. The door was stuck in up in the open position.

That worker got me to see a problem he was having…the hydrolics were removed and the door was up.

*What’s holding door up?

Me: Friction from gunk & rust.

He had been walking and standing under that steel door.

I got the forklift over to hold the door and welded 5 inch channel iron to each side of the door’s slot guide… floor to touching the bottom of the door.

Yeah, that short makes me cringe. At least the RiffTrax version lightens things up a little.
