That's what you get for stealing luggage!

Get up, there's work to be done.

Ha ha lol. You would think America would have the best health and safety for their workers. People get fucked up over there loads of times. I think UK is safer.

Sounds like some deranged homo. What the fuck is he working on 'the apron' in the middle of a fucking airport for ?

That's the thing, the US has a shit health and safety record for industry and transport. They're always blowing up a refinery or de- railing a chlorine barrel or two, because of incompetence, defective equipment and ignoring safety regulations.

Oops...we didn't see you down there..

I rest my case lol

The awful thing is, those little vehicles are extremely heavy, like around 60000 lbs, no joke look it up, they are made to be so heavy so they don’t lose traction when pulling planes.

DEI hires. All three of them. I guarantee it...

Oh really? Doubtful. He would be completely severed in half and not a speedbump...

'You're still coming in tomorrow, right?'

 

[Tinkle_Star]

Ska-wiiish…

 

[Dawn Meow]

Hopefully he was wearing his hard hat.

Just look it up

1.
Weight Distribution & Tires
Most of that 60,000 pounds is distributed across multiple large, heavy-duty tires. These tires are designed to carry weight without sinking into the tarmac, which means they distribute weight, rather than focus it like a blade or narrow point.








2. Speed
Plane tugs move very slowly, typically under 15 mph, often more like 5 mph. So there’s not much kinetic slicing force like in high-speed accidents.








3. Human Anatomy
Crushing injuries would be extreme. If a tug rolled over someone’s torso or limbs, it could definitely cause catastrophic trauma, including potentially tearing or separating body parts depending on the position and pressure—but being “cut in half” cleanly? That’s unlikely. It’d be more of a brutal crushing/shearing injury than a clean severing.








4. “Every Time”?
Definitely not. There’s a wide range of outcomes depending on how someone was hit—did it roll over their legs? Pelvis? Chest? Was it direct, or did the body get pinned or dragged?
In Summary:
No, someone wouldn’t be “cut in half every time.” Crushing, massive trauma? Yes. But the clean “cut in half” thing is more movie-style gore than real-world physics.


You thinking about a story? Or did this come from some random rabbit hole?
Not to be a dick brotha, but I research my gore, not just watch…..

Nice.

Get the fuck up Tyrone….it’s not break time

I also thought he would be torn in half but that's a good explanation thanks
