Worker falls feet first into sausage grinder..Dies 2 hours later

[Juliuscaesar]

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.

Mr Raper was taken to hospital but died the following day.

The aunt of Mr Raper's fiancee, who he was due to marry in February, told KFOR-TV: 'He slipped and went into the machine. He was still conscious at the time so I can imagine the agony he was in, and he lost both of his legs.'

That has to be one of the worst ways to die.

 

[Ace Bandage]

So... will the sausage they were working on at the time be sold at a discount?

 

[Hot Mega]

No words....

While I in no way wish to diminish how horrific this death is, I must point out the irony here...

His name, Mr. Raper, in French the verb raper means to grind or to grate.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Fuck me! I think at that point I would have gone for one of the cops guns, and just sucked on the end of the pistol. Near where I live, we used to have an aluminum smelting factory, and a rail on the cat walk broke, causing a guy to fall into molten aluminum...that sounds pretty good, compared to this.

Damn I've got to start paying more attention to the news that's less than 50 miles from where I live and I didn't hear about it until now.

Here is a local news report on the story.

That has to be one of the worst ways to die.

[Bloodshot Scott]

I bet this pleases PETA.

 

[Icewater Jones]

My sympathies to his family. Terrible really.

 

[PirateKing]

Yeah. I'll take the molten aluminum too.

Who wouldn't? It would be like being preserved in carbonate.

.....except you die.

 

[grower_boy]

Rest in peace.

This was a terrible way to die. He seemed like a good guy who was getting his life on track. I feel sorry for his fiance, family and especially his kids.
