Popular Post rooster59 Posted January 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2020 Video: Yikes! Tour bus driver gets sucked in by his fan belt Caption: Sucked in by a fan belt Video footage from a bus station in the early hours of Tuesday morning showed a tour bus driver attempting to repair a problem with his vehicle's engine. In no time the driver is sucked into the engine compartment. Others rush to his assistance and apparently turn off the engine. He was lucky to only have a slight head wound. Daily News said that netizens commented in droves. Some warned about getting clothing snagged others said they had lost fingers. Some even suggested turning off the engine first might have been the correct course of action.

VocalNeal Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 He was EXTREMELY lucky. He could have lost a hand or even an arm. Rotating equipment? Agreed he was unlikely to be wearing a tie but any loose clothing is a no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Tracy Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 How does a fanbelt 'suck' someone into an engine? If an object was was drawn into the engine by the fanbelt, or was caught by the fanbelt, this would be more correct. Also, fault diagnosis, adjustments, and confirmation of repairs may well require the engine to be operating. there's us all assuming again....

I have done similar but have also heard some horror stories from when I was involved in the fishing industry that entailed fisherman in wet weather gear going below deck and getting caught up in belts, some even being killed.

johng Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Looks to me like he was filling up the radiator with water and his shirt got sucked into the fan belt. One time I was operating a Capstan Lathe and my big woolly jumper got caught around the lead screw pulling my head slowly but surely towards the jaws of death !!!! my employer was more concerned that I broke the lathe ????
