[u/Milliondollarjuice]

No worries. They are wearing their safety sandals.

[u/Fergue8on → u/Milliondollarjuice]

Yeah this thing crushes rocks not sandals, they're totally fine

[u/vikinxo → u/Fergue8on]

The machine goes: Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-Gimme-----

[u/hizashiYEAHmada → u/vikinxo]

Out there unfortunately is a video of a guy who does what the kid did in the video but falls into the machine, hangs on for dear life while getting slowly buried with the rocks lined up for the machine as his coworkers scramble to find the stop mechanism, but it's too late

[u/OkBox6828 → u/Milliondollarjuice]

And loose clothing

[u/turd_ferguson899 → u/OkBox6828]

Yeah, dude's pant leg so close to that wheel was making me a little nervous.

[u/govunah → u/OkBox6828]

Good thing they left the safety glasses. That's just asking for accidents

[u/Oisinx → u/Milliondollarjuice]

the guy at the far end pedaling like crazy.

[u/Corpsey_Clownshoes → u/Oisinx]

😂

[u/Hammer_the_Red2 → u/Milliondollarjuice]

See the first guy had his safety sandals and got the guy with the heavy duty safety slides.

[u/Winter_Value_7632 → u/Hammer_the_Red2]

comes with a hammer too

[u/HelloPeopleOfEarth → u/Milliondollarjuice]

Regulations are for commies /s

[u/TenYearHangover → u/Milliondollarjuice]

Also, eye protection is cumbersome and really more a distractive danger than anything else…

[u/nuseht → u/Milliondollarjuice]

Literally opened the post with the intention of typing this exact comment verbatim. Reddit has a hold on me.

[u/Sythe5665]

I don't like how close his leg is to that spinning piece

[u/Tombo6969 → u/Sythe5665]

Especially with the loose fabric he's wearing... 👀

[u/Old-Calligrapher2403 → u/Sythe5665]

There's a cover over it so not so bad but has holes in it so loose clothes could get caught in it. So not so bad and not so good both at the same time

[u/Crafty_Dog_4226 → u/Old-Calligrapher2403]

Is there a cover over the flywheel? I am seeing color change on the top of it. Keep these guys away from PTOs.

[u/Nervous-Bullfrog-884]

I know where red rock comes from!

[u/RicTannerman01]

How much is he actually moving that rock though?

[u/Square-Savings-2891 → u/RicTannerman01]

Exactly. He isn't going shit.

[u/Normal-Pool8223 → u/RicTannerman01]

a rock that size is probably 500kg+, his leg is as useful as a bird farting on a brick

[u/RicTannerman01 → u/Normal-Pool8223]

African or European bird fart?

[u/WhatIGot21 → u/RicTannerman01]

That rock would have never fallen in without his strength.

[u/leet_lurker → u/RicTannerman01]

Not at all.

[u/MrLink4444]

A stick cannot cost that much

[u/HubertTheCumberdale → u/MrLink4444]

Would be considered more valuable than the workers in places like that.

[u/cubeincubes → u/HubertTheCumberdale]

And they all have a smartphone because their data is more valuable than their lives

[u/ElHorny]

Damn the spinning wheel behind him as hes hitting the stone scares me the most.

[u/soulself]

They must have NOSHA in that country.

[u/Friendly_Shopping286]

Somebody could probably build a little excavator boom setup for a thousand bucks that would reach down in there and pull the rocks anytime needed

[u/BurdTurglary → u/Friendly_Shopping286]

That's like a trillion ruppees, ain't nobody got time fo dat

[u/Stacked7High → u/Friendly_Shopping286]

Or a pneumatic hammer with a long bit to break it up from the bottom where it is jammed

[u/Fair-Chemist187]

This isn’t "interesting" this is just sad

[u/hsoj48 → u/Fair-Chemist187]

Iunno. Id probably stand and stare at the rock crush machine all day like it was a campfire.

[u/dzumdang → u/Fair-Chemist187]

Sad and yet oddly satisfying.

[u/bufalo_soldier]

"by using hands and feet" Hammer: ...... " Am I a joke to you?"

[u/CakeHoleKing]

This is the same process they had to use on Margaret Thatchers corpse when she refused to be sucked down into hell.

[u/CorbynDallasPearse1 → u/CakeHoleKing]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you’ve deffo won Reddit today as far as I’m concerned

[u/Rechno_]

They have done way more with the hammer than the machine.

[u/islobojono]

How many sacrifice has that machine eaten

[u/Plane-Education4750 → u/islobojono]

This week? Probably none. The counter only goes up to 7

[u/GeauxFarva]

Who needs OSHA? These fellas seem perfectly safe.

[u/Known-Policy2007 → u/GeauxFarva]

OSHA? Ohh shit!!

[u/ShrmpHvnNw]

Standing so close to that wheel with loose clothing

[u/MoffieHanson]

Insanely dangerous lol

[u/Weary_Position_9591 → u/MoffieHanson]

You think?

[u/Weary_Position_9591]

Where’s the “It’s been 0 days since the last accident” workplace sign

[u/Royal_Stay_6502]

That spinning wheel and his dress.. 🫢

[u/Optimal-Fix1216]

Why are they crushing the rock?

[u/antpabsdan → u/Optimal-Fix1216]

It's personal.

[u/Positive-Database754]

The weight of that rock is at the point where he is contributing next to nothing, and putting himself in danger for no reason.

[u/KristyNoemsZombieDog]

I swear he's not doing anything to help

[u/Trikster102]

Why do I feel like I'll this in r/whatcouldgowrong sub in the future?

[u/Mediocre_Ingenuity76]

Anybody see those OSHA approved harem pants next to that flywheel?

[u/Forever-Fades_Away]

Imagine waking up every day and realizing this is your lot in life. Dangerousness aside, how would you feel knowing that you wake up every day to turn big rocks into smaller rocks?

Does it pay well? - "no"

Is it rewarding? - "no"

Is it hard work? - "very"

Is there anything else you could be doing within walking distance? - "no"

[u/FragmentedMeerkat321]

that baggy trouser leg right next to the whirring drive wheel is making me sweat…but it’s all for a good cause (you want the quarry conglomerate owner to have that second smaller 150’ yacht he can take to lake como, don’t you? you see, they don’t allow the mega-yachts on the lake.)

[u/GrapefruitPrimary186]

If you get rid of OSHA like MAGA wants to do, there companies will have you doing shit like this and you cant stop them. A company i worked for in the US showed us training videos of that same company operating in India, and they were doing basically this. The company even admitted that the employees worked like that because there were no regulations.

[u/Kaszrak]

I can already see how one of them gets dragged into the flywheel spray painting the whole place.

[u/Particular-Act-8911]

No problem. Only a stones throw away from that leg being crushed.

[u/BadHairDayToday]

I was really impressed with how effortlessly it was crushing those first stones but then it got stuck on a big one for the next 5 minutes

[u/Similar-Item-1695]

I've seen horrible things happen, it's not worth it. Use safety

[u/scottiedagolfmachine]

Holy shit that took long enough. 👀

[u/LordButterbeard]

Just noticed how fast that wheel is spinning

[u/WealthBitter1192]

They are safe. They are wearing shoes.

[u/Holiday-Hedgehog0621]

Life is cheap when you have more people than every country in the world

[u/Ok_Career_3681]

Let me guess the location..

[u/DemonOfOldDays]

Points for the sunglasses

[u/AHumbleSaltFarmer]

One wrong step and it turns into a people squisher

[u/st1ckmanz]

I watched the whole thing and that effin rock is still there...

[u/toldyouIaintshit]

Safety sandals, loose clothing next to a rotating machine, chipping away at it with Mjölnir's cousin, standing on belt.... You crazy for this shit India.

[u/blue_quark]

I guess the sign denoting “Days Without a Lost Time Injury____” has been replaced with “Guards are for Sissy’s.”

[u/RequiemQuilty]

The safety sandals of osha +3

[u/Woozletania]

"The gravel is extra red today."

[u/massive-business]

What exactly is this machine and on a scale of jelly beans to chest burster how much do you really not want to fall into it?

[u/InternationalDiet631]

Ffs you guys needs to see the difference between interesting and devastating. No one should be working in theses conditions

[u/CupofTortillas]

Sorry, that got boring

[u/sp2432Reddit]

I love the loose fitting safety clothing as well!

[u/jxfever]

Why does the worker hide in the tent after trying to push it down ?

[u/BlueLaceSensor128]

Seems like a pickaxe would have been better.

[u/Dirty__Viking]

This is like the scene from Indiana jones

[u/CakeHoleKing]

Imagine if that ended 10seconds earlier and we had to wait for part 2. Behind a paywall.

[u/ChocoboDave]

I cannot believe I watched that for 6 minutes and then wanted it to keep going.

[u/trifecta000]

There's no less than two pairs of sandals inside that thing, guaranteed.

[u/Imaginary-Rope-3084]

Trying to kick in the rocks into the machine by yourself, what could go wrong?

[u/Proud-Parsley6072]

It’s the spinning wheel directly beside those baggy pants I’d be more concerned about tbh

[u/SkillsInPillsTrack2]

At this point everything is interesting

[u/WhoMutedMe]

Am I on the wrong sub? Science and Tech here, right?

[u/TonePresent8179]

All shits and giggles untill one of them slips

[u/Any_Swordfish_684]

The thing with people like this is they absolutely insist on being an edge lord

[u/Unregistered_Davion]

After seen a poor soul fall into one of these I was holding my breath everything he stepped on the rocks that would be fed in next. Thats how the person I saw fall in did it. Slipped on the one rock right into it and the rocks already in there held him in place so there was no way of escaping. Has to be one of the worst ways to go.

[u/powertodream]

they have the huge machine but not jackhammer why?

[u/Main-Event-5715]

Why women live longer. 

[u/ListComplete1914]

Yeesh

[u/croosin]

My god that flywheel and those loose clothes

[u/rodbrs]

The rock crushing/moving circlejerk of Reddit experts begins.

[u/FrostyExplanation_37]

I worked in a mine in my youth. Worked on a similar machine, used the sledgehammer to break up the big rocks. So fucking satisfying. We obviously had much better protection though.

[u/antpabsdan]

This guy rocks.

[u/Umbreon86]

If anything here goes wrong, it goes very wrong.

[u/AltGuardianGord]

Loose fitting clothing around a barely guarded spinning wheel.

My employer makes me wear PPE for the 1/1000000 chance of something happening. These guy have a 1/100 chance of something happening and nadda.

[u/coaxialdrift]

Not even a railing. There's nothing to hold onto if you did fall in

[u/The_Summary_Man_713]

5am and I watched the whole video in bed.

[u/smashingcabage]

That looks safe

[u/omwtfub1]

If the video ended before that rock fell, I would've been pissed.

[u/jerettam]

Thats some Flintstones type work going on there

[u/VisibleRoad3504]

Was waiting for him to jump up and down on it.

[u/PomegranateHefty4461]

A world like this exists. Meanwhile, American liberals cry because some girls aren’t allowed to play boys school sports

[u/Apart-Feeling1621]

Final destination india

[u/bi-king-viking]

Damn, the new Thor movie looks pretty different.

[u/OneTax3014]

I love their idear of health and safety

[u/Crabkingrocks165]

Get a stick god damn it, WHERE IS OSHA?!?

[u/JoeyCStudios]

Glad nothing bad happened. Last week I saw a dude fall into one of these things in a different subreddit.

[u/xChoke1x]

Who needs regulation when you have baggy pants right next to a wheel going 2 billion rpm? Lol

[u/SophonParticle]

I watched the whole video

[u/MOBE_the_Hippo]

that seems like a pretty shitty rock crushing machine

[u/terrydennis1234]

Just another day at the office

[u/nowlickmyfet]

I have seen the liveleak versions of trying this. I would not rexommend this.

[u/Fit_Seaworthiness387]

The second guy with the hammer got one to the face. Looks like he was probably bleeding from it.

[u/Professional-Card804]

Forgot the rock look 👀 how close his foot is to that pulley spinning 😵‍💫 100MPH 😬

[u/DisciplineHot7374]

Grandpa became gravel today.

[u/Ib123Steven]

Loose pants next to a flywheel… Awesome.

[u/Ice-Berg-Slim]

Wait until OSHA sees this! /S

[u/TheMordax]

this is one step away from being posted at r/Whatcouldgowrong

This is all that is left of our world, Sebastian!

[u/Resident_Lab3975]

[u/PuzzledExaminer]

This looks so unsafe 😂

[u/Top-Group-7061]

Breaking rocks in the hot sun

[u/Large_Cloud_1611]

So are you expecting them to use mouth and anus? Isn’t that a bit kinky for workplace @op

[u/bonedaddy1974]

I work at a quarry,this is terrifying

[u/MasterpieceNo7350]

Why?

All day long?

[u/MoistTractofLand]

These rocks are making me THIRSTY

[u/p1nkfr3ud]

Lovely hammer swinging technique.

[u/Phatsy1]

I stood In a wheel barrow fell out and broke my elbow. And I wonder how these guys survive.

[u/Sauceage88]

Using Hands and Feet…… plus a huge sledge hammer lol

[u/boredsittingonthebus]

It's sad that it's just a matter of time until these guys get seriously injured, or worse.

[u/squareartistry8]

That spinning shaft next to his leg is giving me anxiety

[u/HorrorLARPer]

One wrong step or piece of clothes getting pulled, and it's not just the rocks getting crushed.

[u/HelpFindThisSpoon]

Never ceases to baffle me how little regard these people have for their own safety.

[u/Popular-Impact-7665]

I did that same job one summer. That was the drities, nosiest job ever. He is good with the hammer. If the rock won't go through the crusher jaw you have to rig it out of there. That's less fun then singing a sledge

[u/YouNeedAnne]

He walked on the stone while it was in the crusher...

[u/Odd-Tip-7603]

Something tells me that one of these dudes will appear on the Next Faces of Death video

[u/ranjithd]

living in the stone age

[u/demfook]

...someone fell down there atleast once right?

[u/Jets1026]

there's got to be better ways to do this lol

[u/Warm-Revenue5135]

His foot near that spinning wheel though.

[u/Overall-Injury7095]

I was in for the duration there. If that video had lasted 9 hours I was going to stay the course.

[u/Disintegration_007]

OSHA isn’t even a glint in that government’s eye yet, huh?

[u/ScruffiestN3rfHerder]

r/OSHA

[u/StateOk9278]

Thanks, now I like my office job again.

[u/convexconcepts]

The dude with hammer and baggy pants is mere inches away from the spinning part and is in extreme danger of getting his clothes caught in the machine

[u/folarin1]

The efficiency of that machine is -0.246...less than zero

[u/usposeso]

Sorry but these guys are idiots.

[u/8swordsTom]

Why do the most bizarre videos about workplace safety always come from India?

[u/LemmyLola]

Careful you dont get any pizza dough bits in there and ruin the gravel

[u/a-pilot]

Thumbs up if you still have 2 thumbs!

[u/SimioConCultura]

Helmet ❌

what mineral are they trying to refine?

[u/invalidmemory]

PPE all around!

[u/EliFry13]

OSHA approved 👍

[u/curi0us_carniv0re]

Wearing baggy clothes while standing inches from that giant flywheel is definitely a choice.

[u/kilygonz]

Breaking rocks in the hot sun

[u/MajorAd3363]

I had to stop watching when the dude straddles the unguarded flywheel.

HFS

[u/LordVixen]

OSHA approved 👍

[u/rinkydinkis]

Who designs and manufactures these death trap machines. And why are they wearing their customary dress and sandals to work if that’s their job. Idiots

[u/Cburda]

Bugs Bunny makes it look so easy

[u/sawsawjim]

The flywheel right behind his foot is far more dangerous and would probably just rip his leg off. It has a lot of inertia.

[u/Objective_Mousse7216]

He just fell into the role really....

[u/Bright-Strength4182]

Did you say bone crushing machine

[u/Nunov_DAbov]

This is a training video for new employees.

Standing on a rock that is supported by the one you are trying to get loose is certainly the best way to get those rocks moving along. These obviously are the guys with cat-like reflexes, ready to jump out of the way. The rest didn’t pass the course.

[u/haveyoutriedpokingit]

I was fine until he out his foot beside that flywheel thing. I said Yikessss.

[u/chwynphat]

Seems like they are doing most of the crushing

[u/Hopeful_Ad_7719]

A job where you not only know your boss thinks your life is worse less than gravel, but where you agree with him.

[u/TipAndRare]

I fucking love their tiktok channel.
one of them, CrusherKing, has just very on the nose tough guy machismo type titles and descriptions. Very homo-erotic

"Big strong men crush giant stones with the strength of REAL POWER. Crushing machines make short work of weak stones with the labor of POWERFUL MEN
Follow for more from CrusherKing!"

[u/MadMaxAtax]

Finish him!

[u/Reasonable_Bid3311]

I mean why use a long metal pole when you have a strong leg? what could possibly go wrong?

Get in the Chopper....

Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom

[u/Cute-Advisor-2323]

Not only that but the spinning wheel behind him is going to rip him right off of there if his pants gets caught
