How bad is it??  My stomach is churning just thinking about it...  Did he live?  How old is the video?  God Bless him....

Yes he did live, and he is ok, and he did not lose his leg.

Todd i think you should post it , its hard to make new guys aware of how bad things can get , maybe if they watch it they will realise and learn something

Its posted and man was it hard to watch. I do agree everyone who pumps should see it. This guy was a warrior to post this and to allow it online for everyone to see and learn from. Most guys who get caught in a hopper are not as, should i say it? LUCKY

Thank God, I thought you meant the ACTUAL event, I just watched it Todd, WOW....  He is lucky to be alive, "THANK GOD everynight" doesn't really do it justice....  GOD truly did watch upon him in that hospital, I don't know how he made it through over a year in that bed.....Can't even imagine the pain...  I had trouble watching it to be honest!!!  Very humbling... 

Any news on what exactly happened in Nov. of 07' ??

I wonder if he wants to ever pump again??

100% should be required for all personnel at next safety meeting, and every new green horn... I AGREE!!!!

thats what happens when u take ur focus off of being safe, knarly scars and a life time of tinking what u could of done differently.

the bright side is he walked away with his life , and a mangled limb,

I was the manager of the sister company to the one that James was working for. It was a terrible experience. He was onsite totally alone when it happened and an excavator operator just happened to hear him screaming. They thought they were going to have to amputate his leg onsite

For all of you adventurers that clean out with the grate open.....

LOCK OUT - TAG OUT - or - STAY OUT
