    A Close Cut While cleaning the floor underneath an industrial

  • 00:05

    machine, a worker in China accidentally got her hair stuck in the clogs!

  • 00:10

    She didn't realize what was happening, and before she knew it, the poor woman had been

  • 00:14

    completely scalped!

  • 00:15

    She literally had her hair ripped off her scalp in the most painful and brutal way imaginable.

  • 00:21

    She couldn't even get out of the machine herself and had to be removed by firefighters, who

  • 00:26

    came in and cut her free.

  • 00:28

    When they finally got her out of the giant piece of machinery, she had a huge chunk of

  • 00:32

    her head exposed from where the hair and flesh had been pulled off.

  • 00:36

    It looked like she had gotten into a fight with a can opener.

  • 00:39

    Sadly, we don't know the name of this woman or what happened to her.

  • 00:43

    We only know that she survived.

  • 00:45

    The video of her rescue went viral back in 2014, and we can only hope that with time,

  • 00:50

    her skin and hair will grow back!

  • 00:52

    Believe it or not, she wasn't the only one that got scalped in a machine accident.

  • 00:57

    A woman named Guisselle Espinoza, only 18 years old, got into a similar accident in

  • 01:03

    2016 while doing her internship at a car workshop in Mexico.

  • 01:06

    She too got her hair stuck in a machine, except she didn't lose all of her locks!

  • 01:11

    It only pulled out the back half of her hair, giving her a really weird reverse mullet.

    Sausage Factories You wouldn't think it, but sausage factories

  • 01:21

    are some of the most dangerous places to work in the world.

  • 01:24

    The reason they’re so dangerous is the blending machine that makes the sausages!

  • 01:30

    It's full of giant spikes, it spins really quickly, and it can easily rip your arm off.

  • 01:36

    In fact, there have been multiple incidents of people falling into the meat blender and

  • 01:41

    nearly getting blended into sausages themselves!

  • 01:44

    As recently as March of 2022, a man in Louisiana fell into a meat processing machine and died.

  • 01:51

    It happened on the 17th, in the middle of the afternoon.

  • 01:54

    The 22-year-old man, later identified as Todd Wheeler, was a reliable factory employee.

  • 02:00

    But something went seriously wrong just before quitting time.

  • 02:05

    Todd fell into a piece of equipment, which grinded him up and killed him.

  • 02:10

    Workers saw what was happening and cut the power to the piece of machinery immediately,

  • 02:14

    but there was nothing anyone could do.

  • 02:17

    Todd was already dead.

  • 02:19

    On the other side of the world, yet another man had a similar experience at a sausage

  • 02:24

    factory in the United Kingdom.

  • 02:26

    In January of 2019, Ian Qua was left scarred for life after he accidentally put his hand

  • 02:31

    into the cocktail sausage blender and had his middle finger ripped clean off.

  • 02:35

    It was an accident, and a pretty silly one at that.

  • 02:38

    He had been operating one of the most dangerous machines in the entire factory when he stuck

  • 02:43

    his hand into it!

  • 02:45

    The revolving metal paddle caught his hand, and his middle finger was plucked off!

  • 02:50

  • 02:51

    Skewered by Spikes It was 2018 when a man in China was impaled

  • 02:56

    by 10 giant metal spikes.

  • 02:59

    It happened after a robotic arm fell on him while he was at work!

  • 03:03

    If you're confused, let us explain.

  • 03:05

    The victim is known as Zhou, and he worked at a porcelain factory in China’s Hunan

  • 03:10

    province.

  • 03:11

    The accident happened on a Tuesday night, as Mr. Zhou was working the graveyard shift.

  • 03:15

    The robotic arm broke off from a piece of machinery and fell directly on top of him.

  • 03:22

    The spikes were part of the robotic arm, and they pierced right into the worker’s body.

  • 03:27

    It was as if he had been stabbed by 10 giant spears at the exact same time in 10 different

  • 03:34

    places.

  • 03:35

    But here's the real miracle: Mr. Zhou didn't die!

  • 03:40

    Each metal spike was about 1 foot long and around one inch in diameter, and he had ten

  • 03:45

    of them stuck into his arms, chest, and back.

  • 03:48

    One of the spikes was only 0.04 inches from striking a major nervous system.

  • 03:55

    The rest managed to miss every important organ.

  • 03:58

    I should also mention that these spikes didn't only stick into them, they jabbed through

  • 04:03

    him.

  • 04:04

    They perforated through his shoulder, through his biceps, and one even went straight through

  • 04:08

    his back just below the shoulder blade.

  • 04:11

    It took a lot of work, but a team of over 10 doctors and nurses completed an emergency

  • 04:15

    surgery that began in the morning and went on throughout most of the day.

  • 04:19

    They managed to remove all the spikes without the patient suffering major blood loss, and

  • 04:24

    he came out on the other side still alive!

    Tragic Decapitation At a Tyson chicken plant in Alabama near the

  • 04:33

    border of Georgia, a man by the name of Carlos Lynn got into a major accident on March 3,

  • 04:40

    2020.

  • 04:41

    The 39-year-old employee was caught while cleaning a piece of plant machinery.

  • 04:45

    His head got stuck in a pinch point, the absolute worst part to get any piece of your body stuck.

  • 04:51

    A pinch point is where two different pieces pass by a stationary part, meaning if you

  • 04:56

    put your hand or something there and the pieces move, your hand has nowhere to go.

  • 05:02

    Well, this happened to Carlos’ head and he was decapitated.

  • 05:07

    This is obviously very horrific, but it's not all that rare.

  • 05:12

    The truth is that Tyson plants experience bizarre deaths all the time.

  • 05:16

    The same month Carlos was killed, another worker at a beef plant in Kansas died when

  • 05:20

    a harness yanked him into a moving conveyor belt.

  • 05:24

    And in August the year before, a Tyson worker in Texas was crushed between two fully loaded

  • 05:29

    pallets.

  • 05:30

    In September of that same year, at the very same plant in Alabama where Carlos was beheaded,

  • 05:35

    an unknown man walked into the factory and shot somebody in the neck.

  • 05:38

    Would you consider working in a Tyson factory after hearing about these incidents?

    Dead During the Interview Umida Nazarova was seven weeks pregnant at

  • 05:45

    the beginning of 2022 when she applied for a job at the Svarmet Factory in Borisov, Ukraine.

  • 05:51

    Umida was 21 years old, she was smart, she had a lot going for her, and she was looking

  • 05:56

    forward to raising her child while having good-paying, stable employment.

  • 06:00

    The factory job would have been perfect.

  • 06:03

    Unfortunately, Umida never made it past the interview.

  • 06:06

    As she was being shown around the factory floor, she got her long hair stuck in one

  • 06:11

    of the industrial machines.

  • 06:13

    Somehow, her hair got wrapped around her neck and she was pulled all the way into the mechanism.

  • 06:18

    According to the New York Post, she was then scalped by the machine, so severely that she

  • 06:23

    died of her injuries.

  • 06:25

    She spent a brief several days in the hospital, but never regained consciousness.

  • 06:30

    It was just too much pain for her young body to handle, having her entire scalp peeled

  • 06:34

    upwards in a shower of blood, and she passed away.

  • 06:38

    This incident was especially tragic because not just one life was lost, two lives were

  • 06:43

    lost – both Umida and the human growing in her belly.

  • 06:47

    The factory has since been investigated for negligence and causing the death of a person,

  • 06:52

    while Umida’s family will live the rest of their lives knowing the terrible way in

  • 06:55

    which Umida was taken from them.

    Folded 90 Degrees A man in China was bent at a 90-degree angle

  • 07:04

    when he got sucked into an industrial machine.

  • 07:07

    It was 2013 at a snack factory in northeastern China.

  • 07:11

    It's not clear exactly what happened, but the man somehow got himself inside the machine

  • 07:16

    so that his head was sticking out near the bottom and his legs were sticking out over

  • 07:20

    the top of his head.

  • 07:21

    He was bent 90 degrees backwards, and he wasn't exactly a trained contortionist.

  • 07:26

    He was in incredible agony, and had to get an IV drip stuck in his arm as workers and

  • 07:32

    firemen tried to figure out how they could get him out.

  • 07:35

    The whole machine had to be disassembled.

  • 07:37

    But the workers had to be extremely careful not to injure the man even more by accidentally

  • 07:42

    disassembling the machine too quickly, causing pieces to fall on him.

  • 07:47

    Throughout the whole ordeal, the only thing that kept this man from fainting from the

  • 07:50

    immense pain was his IV drip.

  • 07:53

    The painkillers kept him numb and docile.

  • 07:57

    In the disturbing photographs of the rescue operation, you can see a woman kneeling down

  • 08:01

    with the man’s hand in her arms, trying to offer some comfort.

  • 08:04

    Thankfully, the workers and firefighters did eventually get the machine disassembled and

  • 08:09

    gently pulled the man out.

  • 08:11

    But he was still in rough condition.

  • 08:12

    He had to be rushed to the hospital and straight into surgery.

  • 08:18

    Sucked into a Machine A factory worker in China had his head sucked

  • 08:22

    into a paper machine!

  • 08:24

    It was New Year’s Eve, 2017.

  • 08:26

    He was getting ready for an order to ship the next day and needed to work through the

  • 08:31

    night.

  • 08:32

    He was working alone in a dimly lit room on the second floor of a building where the company

  • 08:36

    was renting out space for their operations, where they produced paper gift bags.

  • 08:41

    Everything went wrong very quickly.

  • 08:43

    The paper appeared to get jammed inside of the machine, the man leaned his head in close

  • 08:48

    to see if he could fix the issue – and then the issue fixed itself.

  • 08:52

    The machine kicked back into action and the man was dragged inside.

  • 08:56

    He's been identified only as Mr. Xiao, and he died that night.

  • 09:01

    When the paramedics arrived much later, after he was discovered still stuck in the machine.

  • 09:05

    They said he had severe trauma to the back of the head, which was essentially crushed

  • 09:10

    by the machine when he was yanked into it.

  • 09:13

    After the horrifying incident, the business was suspended.

    An Exploding Machine 35-year-old Chea Saroeun was killed in 2015

  • 09:23

    while working in a factory.

  • 09:25

    The factory is in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, and its job was supplying clothing

  • 09:30

    to the retail giant H&M.

  • 09:33

    The employee was working with a machine used for grinding wood.

  • 09:36

    It’s part of the system which powers the furnace to create steam for the clothing to

  • 09:40

    be washed before they’re sold to the big stores.

  • 09:43

    At about 6:20 in the evening, an explosion from inside the machine sent its cover flying

  • 09:48

    through the air.

  • 09:49

    That metal cover struck Chea in the side of the head, killing him instantly.

  • 09:54

    We don't know what exactly went wrong with the machine.

  • 09:58

    Heat and poor maintenance caused some kind of malfunction.

  • 10:02

    Whatever the case, at least the company agreed to pay for Chea’s funeral costs.

  • 10:06

    They also agreed to pay his family a small salary each month until his children turn

  • 10:10

    18.

  • 10:11

    We’re sure his family would prefer to have him alive, but at least it’s something.

    Factory Horror Yet another woman got her hair stuck in a

  • 10:21

    factory machine.

  • 10:23

    This time it was in 2009, and the victim’s name is Kelly Nield.

  • 10:27

    She was 25, a mom of one, and making around 7 dollars an hour at her job.

  • 10:33

    Kelly was working at a coat hanger factory when some coat hangers got tangled on the

  • 10:36

    conveyor belt.

  • 10:38

    She leaned over to untangle the hangers, and that was when her scarf got caught in the

  • 10:43

    belt.

  • 10:44

    The scarf tightened around her throat, and as she contorted to try and free herself,

  • 10:48

    her ponytail got caught as well.

  • 10:50

    Thinking quickly, Kelly screamed as loud as she could and started banging on the belt.

  • 10:55

    She wanted to signal to her workers that she was in desperate need of assistance.

  • 10:59

    Luckily, one person looked up and saw what was happening in the loud and chaotic factory.

  • 11:04

    They ran to the machine, hit the emergency off button, and then used scissors to cut

  • 11:07

    the scarf around Kelly's throat because it was strangling her.

  • 11:11

    It was pretty horrific and Kelly was missing a lot of her hair that had been ripped out

  • 11:14

    in the machine.

  • 11:15

    However, she did walk away with her life – and that was very lucky.

  • 11:20

    The unlucky part was that this did a lot more damage than just pulling out some hair.

  • 11:24

    It messed up her hand too because it also got trapped in the machine.

  • 11:29

    She also sustained major injuries to her neck and throat and had to stay in the hospital

  • 11:33

    for three months.

  • 11:34

    She had to have a stomach peg fitted inside her body because she was unable to swallow.

    Suffocated in a Textile Machine In October of 2021, a 62-year-old factory

  • 11:47

    worker was suffocated near Padua in Italy.

  • 11:50

    Her name was Luisa Scapin, and she got herself stuck inside a textile machine when her overalls

  • 11:56

    snagged in a cable mechanism and she couldn't get them free.

  • 12:00

    She ended up being drawn into the machine, where she couldn't breathe and flailed for

  • 12:05

    dear life as if she were being held underwater.

  • 12:08

    Nobody saw what was happening in time to save her, and the poor woman lost consciousness.

  • 12:14

    She was eventually unconnected from the machine by another worker, who attempted CPR.

  • 12:19

    But Luisa never regained consciousness.

  • 12:22

    She spent three days as a vegetable in the hospital before passing on to the other side.

  • 12:27

    It was horribly tragic, especially for Luisa’s family.

  • 12:31

    The company is now under investigation and the owner could be charged with manslaughter

  • 12:36

    for not having the proper safety regulations in place.

  • 12:38

    Thanks for watching!

  • 12:40

    Would you rather get impaled by spikes and live to tell the tale or get scalped by an

  • 12:45

    industrial machine but survive?
