Yikes. Was wearing a huge chain at the time.

Man pulled into MRI machine by heavy metal chain dies

The man was reportedly wearing the 20-pound chain for weight training.

They usually tell you to take off any metal before you go in the room

Yikes is right. I undergo 2 MRI scans quarterly. Major concern for me is IV tubes getting caught on something when table moves. We're checked thoroughly for metal before scan. Always remove watches.

Just had one last week.
Could have died by claustrophobia without the chain.

Literally one of the deaths in the new Final Destination and it was brutal.

Who wears a fuqin 20lb chain around their neck for “weight training”?

Who the shiit does that… Cept clearly that guy?

I read about this yesterday. People inventing new ways to die. Shouldn’t the technician have told him to take it off? This isn’t the first time that it has happened. I see a big lawsuit coming.

That had to look like something out of a cartoon.

And at a hospital no less. Leave that thing at home (or at least in the car)

I wonder if the MRI techs laughed a little.

I’d have a hard time not but I can be really professional when I have to.

I think it was in danville a year or so ago a tech brought a laptop in and basically blew one up

obviously I wasn’t present when this happened, but in the two places I’ve had MRIs there are signs ALL OVER saying no metal. Hell the last hospital I went to you weren’t even allowed in the area a tech could see you if you were wearing anything with metal

Had no idea this was even possible. New fear unlocked.

"Off through a black hole" is better

Just had an MRI done a few weeks ago. Had several done before so knew not to wear a ring, watch, etc. but they still made me put on their set of shorts to make absolute sure the metal on mine did not activate in the machine.

When we learned about MRI in medical physics class, the prof did a demo where he held a rope tied to a heavy wrench while the machine was energized. The wrench and rope stood straight out.
