    it happend in west australia, i’m lead to beleive he did survive, he was lancing out a tooth that got jammed in the crusher an for some reason there was still pressure on the hydroset. I’mtold the tooth became soft at the side were he was lancing and the pressure shot it out of the crusher. I do not know the person but work for the same company in the same area. i have heard of it in norsman and the fellow did survive but it was a much smaller crusher.

    And yes, he is dead, the slag that just came free there probably took a good chuck out of him – Since you can see it pass right through him

    Oxygen supports combustion, it is not combustible.

  • OfForceAndChaos:

    Plus, you don’t keep your bottles that close to you anyways. That sucks, I hope the fucker that put him in that position had to break the news to his family (that’s assuming he died).

    Oxygen doesn’t ignite. Go turn on just the oxygen on an oxy-fuel torch and see how long it takes you to light just oxygen. Oxygen can make a flame hotter but it doesn’t burn

  • AnglerInTexas:

    oxygen keeps fire burning ..and it can ignite

  • dexter12322222222222:

    Yeah oxygen keeps a fire burning but it can’t ignite, it easily supports rapid combustion which is why most people think it burns, go turn on just the oxygen on an oxy-fuel rig, oxygen will not ignite without a fuel gas, if oxygen could ignite then why would you need acetylene, MAPP gas, propane, and other gases on an oxy-fuel rig
