The rope is very thick as it needs to support the weight of the entire ship. the motorised winch can easily tighten the rope against the person's legs and crush it

No. AB blood type can take any blood group. they are also call universal recipient.

Let's hope SAF can come out with something to prevent this type of horrible accident...

Really very sad for this young chap who still have a long way to go in life...no amount of monetary compensation can replace the injuries.

got this from another forum who claim he knows someone from the navy.

---------------------------------------------------

well heard from several little birds: very reliable birdf

this guy was the deck I/C,
we was helping to winch the ropes, when he got caught with the ropes.

the E-Stop was 1 deck down, too far and too late for the men to rush down the ladder to stop it.

By then he had already make 2 rounds around the winch....

Who is at fault:

machine fault: wince did not stop and the E-Stop did not work. also the E-Stop was placed too far) typical ST design. (i remember USMS was written asking to re-locate the E-Stop) but as usual: cost factor, must penetrate the deck and the same SAF excuse....

man fault: what was the I/C doing standing in between ropes?

And those guys/gals that handle machines/tools;;;;;;
Pls look around at your coffee or smoke break to spot any potential accidents.....
End of year coming, people tend to be more relax...

What do you mean working with God bro ?

As for the E-stop, it is pure common sense got to be located at the area of use, so that machinery could be stopped immediately if need be. At least this is standard in industrial machines, where every morning before ops start, the standard procedure is to test that the E-stop and all sensors work.

I'm not trying to sound cold or unfeeling but what is e problem with people?

One man got badly injured and we hear e sudden call for blood donation? What e hell is wrong with people?

There is a real need for regular blood donors all the time! Why can't people just be a donor without any incidents? WHY?
