A man collecting scrap materials was severely injured when a grinding disc broke apart, nearly severing his arm in Pattaya’s Nong Prue area. The incident occurred at 09:00 on September 14, in a local slum community, primarily inhabited by scrap collectors.

 

Rescue teams from the Sawang Boriboon Foundation in Pattaya were dispatched to the scene after receiving a distress call. Upon arrival at Nong Krabok 1, Moo 9, they found 40-year-old Damrong Dokpikul from Roi Et province lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. His upper arm was severely lacerated, with his nearly detached limb hanging by a thin thread of skin. In excruciating pain, Damrong was treated on-site by paramedics before being rushed to Banglamung Hospital.

 

 


A witness, 42-year-old Mr. Sor, recounted the events leading up to the accident. According to him, the victim had been using an angle grinder to separate copper from an air compressor plate. In the process, the grinding disc shattered, causing the sharp fragments to fly and slice through Damrong's arm.

 

Authorities are investigating the incident.

How was he using it really?  I has to be the most over used, improperly used tool in Thailand.

How many times have anyone been sitting in a restaurnat, getting a coffee, or staying in a hotel and then it starts.  

The sound of the grinding tool.  So annoying and disrupting and if you see what they are using it for, a lot of time it is not the right tool for the job.  DIg a hole hey, where is the grinding tool?  Not surprised more accindents like this don´t  happen.
