THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT A 26-year-old sausage factory worker
suffered a grisly end when he slipped and fell feet first into a meat
grinder which chewed off his legs and killed him. Father-of-four
Michael Raper was trapped from the waist down for two excruciating
hours after he become entangled in the huge auger at the Bar S Foods
plant in Lawton, Oklahoma. Amid
gruesome scenes co-workers watched in horror before frantic emergency
workers managed to cut the machine in half and free him. |

I'm sure production at the facility ground to a halt... I'm going to hell. That is really sad, I can't imagine how agonizing that must have been. |

Hummm I love Bar-S hotdogs. I wonder if they will charge more for that
run. Althought in looking at the guys picture it was not very lean meat. From the comments section.

That's a bad way to go.
Maybe not as DISGUSTING as the guy who fell into the raw sewage and drowned at the sewage treatment plant a few years ago, but certainly more PAINFUL. |

I work fire/EMS and if you can't laugh at some of this shit you won't last long. I bet every party he shows up to now is a total sausage fest. Seriously though that's an awful way to go. |
