Georgealbert Posted May 10 Posted May 10 Picture from responders. An incident occurred shortly before 13:00 on 10 May, at a rice mill in Ban Pa Kao, Phak Top Subdistrict, Nong Han District, Udon Thani Province, when a 73-year-old woman was fatally injured after being pulled into a conveyor belt. According to reports, the woman was near the milling machine when her clothing became entangled in the conveyor mechanism. The force of the belt quickly drew her into the machine, causing severe injuries. Witnesses at the scene acted immediately to shut off the equipment and called the emergency services. Rescue workers from Phak Top Municipality’s emergency unit arrived promptly, cutting her free from the machinery and transported the injured woman to Nong Han Hospital. Despite the best efforts of medical staff, she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival due to the extent of her injuries. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. Adapted by Asean Now 2025-05-11.
mran66 Posted May 12 Posted May 12 Based on the picture it looks like 19th century rice mill. Obviously with 19th century safety features.

Packer Posted May 12 Posted May 12 All that's missing from that photo are a few Cambodians in a giant hamster wheel on the other side of the machine.
