Dumb people always think humans are as robust as action stars in a movie, when in reality, even in 3D printing with plastic, YOU are the softest and most burnable thing around unless you’re doing something very wrong. In anything truly serious like metal work or moving even semi-heavy objects, the forces and temperatures just get worse, and worse, and worse.
It only takes getting to the scale of a car (1-2 tons) and suddenly people are dying with any accident that can turn lethal. It always amazes me when people get flippant towards industrial scale things, because it’s so much worse than car scale.
Not to imply this guy did anything wrong. Besides maybe not powering the thing off completely and tagging out the controls. Though in many places, the corpos make proper procedure so effing difficult to follow if they even train you on it.
