First time I had an MRI I told them I have metal stents in my heart. They told me everything would be just fine, but I was ready for some Final Destination shit.

Same here, but have had a pacemaker installed since then. 
No more MRIs for me, just CATscans and ultrasounds.

Mrs. Brat had an MRI Friday morning - she has titanium plates & screws to keep her wrist and ankle from falling apart. 
No problems there with an MRI.

Perhaps if the metal in that necklace had been of a more noble material...such as non magnetic

Like the titanium stents.

Man Dies After Being Sucked into MRI Machine

 

 Summarize

 

July 19, 2025 by David Jones

A tragic incident unfolded on Long Island when a 61-year-old man was fatally injured after being pulled into an MRI machine due to a metal chain he was wearing around his neck. The accident occurred on Wednesday at Nassau County Open MRI in Westbury, according to local law enforcement.

The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was not a patient at the facility but was accompanying a relative who was scheduled for a medical scan. He was not authorized to be in the imaging room, but reportedly entered the area due to his relative’s distress.

Witnesses reported that the man ignored instructions to stay out of the MRI room, entering because his relative was in severe pain. The powerful magnetic field of the MRI machine attracted the large metal chain he was wearing, pulling him into the machine.

Following the incident, the man experienced a severe medical emergency. He was rushed to North Shore University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on Thursday. The exact cause of his death has not been officially disclosed.

Dr. Payal Sud, a staff doctor at North Shore University Hospital, speculated on the possible injuries that could have resulted from the incident. “If this was a chain that was wrapped around the neck, I could imagine any kind of strangulation injuries that could happen,” Sud said. “Asphyxiation, cervical spine injuries.”

An investigation into the incident is currently underway. However, authorities have stated that they do not suspect any criminal activity in relation to the man’s death. The tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of disregarding safety protocols in medical facilities.

RIP

Titanium is not magnetic. It is not affected by magnetic resonance imaging.

I wanna FF to the part where they dump a truckload of concrete in the hole and call it good.

 

One of the reddit posts said the body is still there. They just "sealed" the cave hole in the ground.

I just read the Nutty Putty Cave wiki. I understand basically every other form of thrill-seeking more than spelunking. That is fucking nightmare fuel.

Mountain Lion Kills Female Hiker

January 2, 2026 by David Jones

A woman hiking alone was found dead near a mountain lion on the Crosier Mountain trail just before midday Thursday in the foothills south of this small Larimer County community, authorities said. Witnesses reported seeing the animal near the woman’s body and tried to scare it away by throwing rocks; first responders arrived minutes later but the hiker had no pulse.

State wildlife officers and sheriff’s deputies launched a wide search in rugged terrain between Glen Haven and Estes Park, a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Investigators said signs at the scene pointed to a mountain lion encounter, though the official cause and manner of death will come from the county coroner after an autopsy. Wildlife officers later located two mountain lions in the area and euthanized them under agency protocol for suspected attacks on humans. Necropsies and lab tests will look for human DNA and screen for disease. If confirmed, it would be Colorado’s first fatal mountain lion attack since the late 1990s and a rare event in a state that estimates roughly 3,800 to 4,400 of the animals.

Shortly before 12:15 p.m., two hikers on the remote trail segment spotted a mountain lion near a person lying on or just off the path, officials said. One of the hikers, a physician, attempted to render aid after the animal moved off, but the woman did not respond. Firefighters, sheriff’s deputies and Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers converged on multiple access points to reach the location, a forested slope above Glen Haven mottled with snow and rock outcrops. Crews established a perimeter while medics assessed the victim. A mountain lion seen lingering nearby was shot and fled into heavy cover; trackers and hounds later located the injured animal, which was euthanized. A second lion found in the vicinity was also euthanized as a precaution.

Officials said it was too early to release the woman’s name pending family notifications. They declined to describe her injuries in detail, citing the ongoing investigation. The responding agencies included Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, Estes Park Police and local fire districts. A sheriff’s spokesperson said there was no broader public safety threat once the perimeter was established, but trail users in the area were asked to avoid the scene for the rest of the day. “This is a heartbreaking incident in a place people go for peace,” the spokesperson said, adding that the area’s steep draws and dense timber complicated the search for the cats after the initial encounter.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife emphasized that euthanizing animals believed to have attacked people is standard procedure to prevent further harm while evidence is gathered. Wildlife veterinarians will conduct necropsies on both lions, collect tissue samples and swab claws and mouths for DNA comparison. If laboratory work fails to find human material, officers could continue looking for another animal tied to the scene, though officials said current signs point to the two euthanized cats. The agency will also test for rabies and other pathogens; positive results are uncommon but part of the routine panel after human contact cases.

Mountain lions, also known as cougars or pumas, range widely across Colorado’s foothills and mountains and are most active at dawn and dusk. Sightings around Glen Haven and Estes Park are not unusual, especially in winter when deer herds drift lower. Attacks are rare. State records list a few dozen reported incidents in more than three decades, most resulting in minor to moderate injuries. The last fatal case in Colorado dates to 1999, according to agency tallies. Officials said Thursday’s response will feed into a broader review of lion behavior around popular trail systems and seasonal patterns that draw people and wildlife into closer contact.

The Crosier Mountain trail network climbs from canyon bottoms into mixed ponderosa and Douglas fir, with narrow benches and limited sight lines in places. The route sits just outside Rocky Mountain National Park on national forest land, popular with locals for half-day hikes and winter conditioning. Search crews staged at trailheads while a wildlife helicopter orbited to help spot movement in timber. By late afternoon, investigators had flagged a swath of ground for evidence, photographed tracks, and collected hair and scat samples. Rangers walked the trail out in both directions documenting distances to intersections, signage and any fresh human footprints around the scene.

Larimer County’s coroner will determine whether the woman died from trauma consistent with a lion attack or from another cause before or during the encounter. That finding will drive how wildlife officials characterize the event in their annual reports and whether any management changes follow. The sheriff’s office is handling the death investigation alongside state officers, a common arrangement for serious wildlife incidents on public land. Officials said the autopsy could take several days, with DNA results arriving later from a state lab.

Neighbors in Glen Haven said the canyons were busy on New Year’s Day with hikers and sightseeing traffic in fresh mountain air. “We heard sirens echoing up the draw and saw trucks heading toward Crosier,” said a resident who watched engines and rescue rigs pass the general store. Along the switchbacks above town, plumes of snow dusted the pines as crews rotated in and out of staging. A pair of hikers who came off the trail midafternoon described seeing taped-off sections and officers carrying evidence bags. “Everyone got very quiet,” one said, noting that a ranger accompanied them back to the lot.

Thursday’s response followed a familiar sequence for serious wildlife incidents: secure the area, render aid, identify and remove any animals posing an immediate threat, and preserve the scene for investigators. Wildlife officers planned to revisit the site Friday morning to check for scavenging activity and to complete a grid search for additional trace evidence. Trail access around the core scene may remain restricted through the weekend while crews finish documentation and remove temporary markers. The sheriff’s office said any broader closures would be posted at trailheads if needed.

Officials plan to release additional details after the coroner’s preliminary findings and the first round of lab results. They are also compiling a timeline that will include the initial witness call at around 12:15 p.m., the arrival of the first units, the shots fired at the first lion, the recovery of both animals, and the evacuation of personnel at dusk. Colorado Parks and Wildlife said its regional biologists will brief county leaders and land managers on early observations and will fold the incident into a seasonal update on wildlife-human interactions along the Front Range.

By nightfall, the trailhead parking areas were mostly empty, with a light wind moving through the trees and a thin crust of snow crunching under the boots of the last officers leaving. A small cluster of residents stood near the store in Glen Haven, trading fragments of what they had heard. “It’s terrible,” one man said softly, tucking his hands into his coat as emergency vehicles rolled back toward Estes Park. The mountains went dark, and the road down the canyon emptied to the occasional set of headlights.

As of Friday morning, the woman had not been publicly identified, and laboratory testing on the two euthanized mountain lions was still pending. Authorities said they expect to give the next update after the coroner issues preliminary results and biologists complete necropsies in the coming days.
