STOP THOSE ACCIDENTS

One of the first accidents that I investigated was in a
cotton gin. The victim had lost most of his leg up to the knee, and the
manager of the gin was denying the claim on oral evidence given by the shift
foreman. “I told him a hundred times to stay out of
that augur pit! He was deliberately trying to get hurt so he could apply for
disability.” “Yeah, he told me to stay out of the pit. But, he's the one that
thought it was funny to trip one of the gate doors without warning.. An
avalanche of cotton seed would hit me broadside and sweep me down into the augur
pit. Yeah, he thought it was funny. If I have a lead pipe in my hands the next
time I see him there won't be a piece left of him to find between two rail road
tracks!” |
