What kind of hospital let him get near the room with that kind of metal around his neck? I've had to be in several hospitals recently for different imaging issues and every time the MRI is a thing I have to remove everything metal to go past a certain door (escorting my daughter and son for medical reasons). I don't know who let him anywhere near the room with something that large.
Edit for Clarity:
I've had to be the one removing all metal even though I'm not the one being scanned. For me to progress beyond a certain part of the hospital toward the MRI I needed to get rid of everything. My children were being scanned, not me. So, I'm not sure what hospital system allowed this man with a 9kg chain get this far deep into the imaging area. -
yeah what annoyed me was the Lady asking to just turn it off like you can just turn it off. i know she is desperate to undo her and her husband's stupidity but the article framing those quotes like the tech was incompetent is bad journalism.
Can you imagine watching your loved one suffer and die in front of you? It sounds extremely brutal
-
Well, TIL. There goes my hopes of showing up to the MRI room with a giant gold necklace
Ehh, if you're gonna go, it'll at least be memorable
I suspect we'll both pass without even a lemmy shitpost. -
Don't know how quickly custom vinyl stickers can be bought & delivered, but someone needs to slap a "Died Like A Cartoon Character" achievement on his casket/headstone.
put one on the MRI. how many of them actually score a fatality?

They come with an emergency stop button

To be fair this seems like a honest oversight
He entered the imaging room unauthorised. It was an honest Darwin Award

Just for your information, the machine, meaning the magnet, is ALWAYS on.
Huh, I thought this was nonsense, but googling proved you're right. Very cool TIL!

Aka 6 "knobs," according to Gordon Ramsey.
aka "the bare minimum"

And if it's an African swallow?

You could put an airlock like metal detector door that only opens the second door, if the first door is closed and there's nothing magnetic inside. People could still go in quickly in emergencies, but nothing that makes it worse can enter.
Nah, let them stupids die. I don't want to risk non idiots lives for the chance of saving a moron.

There was a scan in progress when he entered.
Seems to me all they needed was a magnet of equal or greater strength placed opposite of, and perhaps a bit closer to the doorway, to pull intruders away from the MRI room.

It's a fair cop

Wearing a NINE kilogram necklace.
That's like approaching a campfire with clothes made out of tinder after soaking in some gasoline and drinking alcohol.

Yeah, there was a guy in my town who would run around with one of these around his neck. Similar type of idiot. He would actually run by the strength training gym and gloat to us that we were wasting our time lol, insisting that all we had to do was run around with a big chain.
Hearing about this news story now I wonder if some influencer somewhere started a trend. People love feeling like they found “the secret”
Would Piccolo qualify as an influencer?

Who cares about a moron who needs a 9kg necklace, how's the MRI machine?
-
So tragic, jesus. Also, it was obviously stupid, but in his defense he probably went into fight or flight and wasn't thinking. Unfortunately he paid for it with his life.
He went in to help her stand up from the machine.

It appears you're right. But appears the LAPD has had this happen to them as well in a bungled cannabis raid

Whole thing is heart breaking all around. I feel for the technician who made an honest but very serious mistake. And I'm sure the wife will spend her days regretting asking for help. Just a fucking tragic situation.
