Dear Wanderers,

Every picture tells a story.  One day last summer, I went around all the construction equipment behind Building 29 on the General Atomics campus and took pictures of the warning labels on the machines.  I assume that each of these all resulted from a real-life accident that no one ever wanted to see happen again.

First example: what could have possibly prompted this kind of warning?  Did someone go to sleep on the chassis of a raised dump truck?

This I get…

…people who have the privilege of operating cherry pickers should be careful.

These remind me of those kite safety books the electric company handed out in elementary school.

Now that I think of it, this could happen — good to know.

So many ways to be crushed.

I do not recall what kind of machine this was.

Noted – will not use ether…

Classical entanglement.

Another obvious thing to avoid

The battery is located where you could get caught under the wheel.  If you need a jump, ask a friend and keep a sate distance.

This is just wrong – failure to read the manual does not result in injury or death — getting anywhere near this machine does.

These were on a dumpster.

After looking at all these warnings, this is good advice – keep away from anything that moves and you willl be fine.
