...re the vid post where the rice rocket clipped the sheboon resulting in a flying shoe, I was reminded of the time when I was called out for a derailment on the CP rail line where two locomotives jumped the track on the "house line". The main line was unimpeded and trains kept moving (at 60mph).
Upon arrival with a 175ton hyd crane and a couple boom trucks there were OPP and EMS on site. I mentioned to the CP official that I wasn't informed of any casualties. The official takes me a little ways up the track to where all the action was and I noticed a pair of boots at the center of the tracks, right there I knew that it was not good. The cops and EMS were standing around staring into the tall reeds of the bay that parallels the track...a fucking teepee rat decided to wander off the reserve and walk the line into town...he didn't hear the train barreling towards him.
Upon impact the indian was thrust out of it's boots and hurled over 300ft into the bay of the lake and it's body was floating in the thick reeds. And nobody was in a hurry to recover the useless shred of human debris.
One thing that I should mention is that the feather clown never tied his laces, if he had tied up properly he would have been smashed with dignity but he died without his boots.
LESSON IN LIFE...ALWAYS APPEAR CIVILIZED AND TIE UP YOUR BOOTS BEFORE WANDERING ONTO A RAIL TRACK.

Indian died well enough... Had a friend who tried to crawl under temporarily stopped tugger cars entering a steel mill... Poor guy was cut up so bad they had to have a closed casket funeral.
@inaminit ...that's happened in a few steel mills, I remember 2 instances here since 1980 and both were during positioning of ladle cars under the cast holes...not pretty.
@PeckerwoodPerry ...I fucking hate it...I have this retard that does menial yard work for me, basically the designated bear shit scooper, and I'm repeatedly telling him to tie his fucking boots...here's the hilarious item, last week he was scooping, he uses my 4x4 Kodiak with utility trailer and scoops the area twice a week...he dumps the trailer at the bush site and then comes into the garage after parking, I blast him again for not tying up...he starts tying to shut me up and then notices shit all over his hands because his laces dragged through the shit that he was scooping, and I fucking cracked up..."I told you Darryl to tie your fucking boots (1000 times)"...so now he wears rubber boots with no laces. Untied laces tell a lot about a person.
