It happened a few days ago where my wife works. Email just came out. Some moron gave out the wrong key. Poor bastard walks in the room and the buffer kicks his ass. He escaped by quenching the magnet but that's dangerous as hell.

So a janitor walked in on an active MRI procedure? That's more than a 'wrong key situation', more of a 'why wasn't the lite on over the door' type of thing.

Where I work we have these things over every door that needs them.

As in he walked into the MRI room and the magnet tried to take the buffer and him?

The magnet is never turned off. He walked in and the magnet grabbed the buffer slamming him against the magnet while trying to pull the buffer through his body. He hit the quench button to stop it but if the emergency ventilation isn't clear he would have been dead in a couple of minutes. It worked but all of the plants around the vent outside were killed. Wicked stuff. He was lucky. He'll have nightmares for years about a machine trying to kill him. That and a big check and somebody will be getting fired. Only special MRI safe equipment is allowed in that room. Will cost 100k to get the room working again plus what they pay him.

So he walked into the room backwards with the buffer between him and the magnet?

They think he tried to hold on to the buffer and got spun around. He's not sure what happened. All he knows is that he wanted it to stop. :lol:

Even when not in use MRI machines are that powerful? I'll tell you what they need.
