...idk, not realizing that he's exceeding maximum capacity by 3x doesnt sound much like blessed to me. Oh, you mean that he's not dead...

I love the part in the beginning where he is about to exit only to turn around and go back in to pull the loader in a bit further.

Once you know what's coming, that bit does raise the dramatic tension somewhat. Like a horror movie.

That there chinese quality assurance. And this dude is indeed lucky. Incredibly lucky. He avoided death by a mere fraction of a second.

Holy fuck. That couldn't have gone worse for him. You can see he's sort of holding his hands back, afraid to touch the hot steel or w/e.... but that decision led to him taking a bite out of that semi-molten steel.

Elevators are supposed to have a stopping mechanism that's virtually fool proof invented by this guy.

This is a rolling metal door failure, likely caused by a weak chain. You can see the cylindrical chamber above where it's housed. Metal rolling doors like this can cause serious injury when they fail.
