Shake Hands With Danger (1980)

I saw this lately and thought about our new amateur mechanics whether young or old it is always good to work safe. I made it to retirement with all my limbs & digits, how about you?

Just watched the whole thing. They don't make em like they used to. Love the graphics and stunt guys. That was fun!

I still have all my digits. Almost lost an arm and a few fingers a couple of times. Safety first. Taken a couple long falls too.

Yea some of the PSA's back then were pretty Korny, like how the operator that tossed the match that ignited the gas get on fire in the cab? LOL they had a stunt man in the budget and just had to use him?

Better than the new woke stuff that won't hurt anyone's feelings. Or scare anyone.

I wonder what todays equivalent is. Todays movies that they actually show new operators.

I used to go to a lot of different factories and I've had to watch a lot of safety videos. Most were common sense, and sometimes I had to take a quiz after watching to show I was paying attention.

I used to go to this one place and you know those "Days since last accident" signs? It was always less than a week. I hated that place.

When I worked at GE, I was supposed to take driver safety course. Problem was that I was always on the road when the instructor showed up. No one ever bothered to check first. After the fifth time, they just said "He hasn't crashed anything yet so he must be OK" and they just pencil whipped it.

LoL that the one with the dipstick taking apart a roto chamber??? Pretty sure it is, those brake cans will tear you a new one if you’re stupid. Thanks for posting but I can’t watch these unless I’m on the clock!

Something similar from Germany:

I wish I could access a specific USAF Flight Safety film. It shows, among other things, a crew chief that got too close to an engine on start-up, and got sucked into the intake. Another guy was walking up the airstairs to the forward entry door with a full load of stuff in both arms, lost his balance and tumbled down. Hot brakes will ruin your day, too, as the tire blows (firefighter running up to extinguish a brake fire). And not wearing reflective equipment on the flightline will get'cha! Same film showed a maintenance guy walking across the parking ramp without the reflective gear on, and got hit by what we call the "bread truck", a blue-steely USAF maintenance van.

This is a well known video all over the 'net well before the days of YouTube. Full story here:

^^^US Navy, I've seen this one many times, but the one I speak of was a USAF-produced film with USAF aircraft.

All those Afghanis that were running alongside that C-17 were damned lucky they didn't meet their fates in the same manner.
