Accidents you DON'T want to have
« on: December 29, 2012, 11:34:06 PM »

A WOMAN has been airlifted to hospital after becoming trapped in a long-drop outdoor toilet in central Queensland.

The woman, 65, was climbing off a trailer when she fell backwards into the 2.5-metre-deep open hole on a property at Wartburg, a spokeswoman for the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter said in a statement.

The Gladstone woman suffered a fractured leg in the tumble and spent a number of hours down the hole before being found by her husband.

Emergency services managed to get the woman out of the hole in what was described as a "very difficult extraction".

The woman was airlifted to Bundaberg Base Hospital in a stable condition.

You should never walk out of the public toilets sniffing your fingers.

When I was deployed and working in a not-too-pleasant country, we used to have these portaloos that were pretty much just a seat that opened up and then it was straight down into a large amount of blue liquid and, well, the other un-required nourishment that people would leave there. Often you would get an amount of "splash-back", which I was always totally grossed out by.

BUT - when I would finish the job and the associated paperwork,  I would often think to myself, if my wallet were to fall into the "poo-soup", how much money would have to be in it before I would retrieve it. Now I'm talking up to your elbow in poo-soup here. . . . . .

Something for you all to ponder. . . . .

Had a few accidents when I was on the sewer crew a few years back, some not very nice and some worse.

I recall rodding a line upstream and was down a 3 metre shaft, just poked the rod in the upstream inlet and released the blockage. A gurgle quickly changed into a 150 dia stream of sewerage and as quick as I was climbing the ladder it was around my midriff when I reached the top. I enjoyed that shower just after that.

Another time I caught up with the boss on the side of the road wearing nothing but the paper overalls and informing him I won't using the boat in the sewer tank anymore to clean the rag from the aerators.

Still I don't think any of these would match falling into a long drop, poor lady :'(

Hi,
  as a 7 year old at Grandma's place in the country for Summer holidays I was roused for chasing the turkeys. They were such fun to chase.
No one was looking, and they were nearby, - couldn't resist.
Chased them round the back and they flew a bit over some long green grass.
Now I hadn't quite mastered the flying bit - so running it was for me.
Unfortunately the long grass was thriving on an open sewer trench which engulfed me entirely.
I was unceremoniously stripped and hosed down on the driveway and dumped in a hot bath laced with copious amounts of dettol.
cheers
