[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 547183, member: 18044"] Same situation. A guy on an elevated moving belt realized his foot just touched the diverter and he was about to be sucked under. The scream is loud, instantaneous, and unmistakable. You wouldn't think a male could hit that high note. :wink2: But since I was Picking-Off nearby, I had the belt controls at my waist and instantly hit STOP. The fellow was fine. Scared to death, but not hurt. Everyone was looking at him, expecting to see mangled body parts. He was [U]very[/U] embarressed. About the unmanly scream I mean. This was back in the day when walking (and running !!!) on moving belts was an accepted part of the job. Remember the days when there were no railings on the elevated belts? Our railings were installed after a guy fell to the cement below and luckily "only" broke both his wrists. He works in CHEMA feeders now. [/QUOTE]
