Here is an image of one of these machines.

It's a bit difficult to grasp this story.

The cost to repair after one of these Missile Effect incidents is astonishingly high.

Now there's a death.

The deceased, Rajesh Maru, who was a salesman in a garment shop, was at the hospital with his brother-in-law Harish Solanki whose mother Laxmi, 65, was undergoing treatment there. The duo was taking her for an MRI when the incident happened. Rajesh's father Galal Maru told mid-day, "Harish and Rajesh were wheeling Laxmi on a stretcher to the MRI room. When they reached outside it, they were asked to remove their gold ornaments and other metal items they had on them. A ward boy asked my son to hold Laxmi's oxygen cylinder and go inside. Rajesh even asked him then if the machine was on, but the staffer merely said this was their daily work and not to worry. "The minute he stepped inside, the machine pulled him. His hand holding the cylinder got trapped in it, leading to the cylinder's flow meter breaking and the oxygen leaking, directly onto his face. Harish and the ward boy started to try and free him, and succeeded only after his left ring finger broke. But by the time they took him into the emergency ward, he was dead."

I bet that was a sight to behold!

Yeah. That paints quite a picture. Obviously it is a tragic accident and no laughing matter. But it almost reads like a Chevy Chase skit.

There's always a sign like this and a Gauss line in the room.  It's the point of no return.
