    I did a quick image search for this device to see just how "horrible" this means of death would be.



    Turns out it looks pretty god damned horrible

    "Firefighters declared the man dead at the scene" It must have been really bad. For a firefighter / EMT to declare someone dead you must have injuries incompatible w/ life - for example, head not attached to body, liver mortis (blood pooling at the lowest point of the body), or other similarly clear things.

    @Isaac: "Firefighters declared the man dead at the scene."



    Well, actually, that's a truncation; the original source quotes it as:



    "Firefighters declared the man dead at the scene. And down the hall. And out the window and over into the neighboring parking lot."

    @Isaac: liver mortis? Nice try. You are correct though, there are four conditions under which an EMT may presume someone is dead. Decapitation, Rigor Mortis, Decomposition, and Dependent Lividity (the pooling you describe).

    this reminds me of an incident in which KLM dispatched a large quantity of imported squirrels by shredding them. following the kerfuffle, the airline issued a press release stating it wasn't their official policy to shred squirrels.

    I have to show this to my godson's father as a reason why one should not smoke a blunt before you go to work - at a place that has a big-ass incinerator, crusher, and shredder.

    All cosplay should be illegal.



    As I've told every girlfriend I've ever had, I draw the line at LARPing. It is a dealbreaker and if I find out that my girlfriend has ever LARPed, that is the end of the relationship.



    Ex-Girlie hooked up with her current BF at a comic-con. He is basically a younger, less-successful version of me.
