My dad put in a few years working for a company that was one large office building and god-knows-how-many city blocks of pipes, boilers, chemical vats, and claustrophobic chambers. They basically processed soybeans in every possible way, and the workers joked that the company initials stood for "Another Dead Man."
Dad wasn't there very long. But in the few years that he was, he brought home all kinds of horror stories that never should have been told. Here's just one: There was an enclosed space called a bag house. I barely know what that is, but suffice to say that it's hard to get into and hard to get out. Human access was an afterthought, okay? A team was deployed to do some kind of work inside the bag house.
Well, a pipe burst and filled the thing with scalding steam. Every one of those men were scalded to death before they could get out.
And that cheery little tale is just a drop in a bucket as far as what happens in the "workplace" for this company. There are scores of other incidents where men have been dragged into fans that caught their lanyards, crushed, maimed, burned, trapped, and so on.
The deal is that the company has deep enough pockets that they can just pay the fines they rack up.
They have a token safety program and I got to see it for myself. My first full-time job was with one of the contractors that Another Dead Man deals with. As work dried up, they sent me "into the field" where I got to see the things my dad saw.
But first, the safety speeches! They basically said everything you said... and this was about, late 2004. It's safer than you think. If you're in danger, it's because you're stupid. If you take every precaution, you'll be fine. Yada yada yada.
Well, I was 21 and I had a big mouth. So right in front of everyone, I asked the guy conducting the whole thing what precaution was overlooked when those men were scalded to death in the baghouse. He couldn't answer my question.
I agree that personal responsibility and personal safety should be at the top of the individual's list. But I'm not about to drop you into a warzone and tell you that if you get shot or blown up, it's because you didn't take your own safety seriously enough, or that you're just too soft.

Loved your video. I "clicked" expecting something very different based on title. I smoked cigarettes, heavily, for 40 years and finally stopped in November 2020. Since then, I've been looking for something to replace my previous "addiction" because I miss those moments of sitting back and chilling out. Always loved the smell of pipe tobacco, but know it will take some getting used to to not inhale. Loved it when you pivoted and leaned-in on personal responsibility. I agree with you 100%; we live in a really weird time of no personal responsibility.

I smoked cigarettes for over 30 years and quit about 6 years ago due to a health scare which led to the discovery of high triglycerides and my doctor told me if I didn't stop I could have a heart attack in a couple years. I also smoked a pipe since college but wanted to continue that which the doctor said would be fine if I did not inhale which I never did with a pipe.
Here is how I broke the urge to inhale. After the nicotine completely left my system, which was in a matter of a couple weeks, to curb the psychological urge of holding a cigarette and the smoking ritual itself, I vaped but with zero nicotine. I used an e cigar because I also smoke the occasional cigar which I also do not inhale. Not a vape tool, but one that had the look and feel of a real cigar. I did this for about a year to get used to not inhaling. Then, I went back to the pipe and real cigars. By then, I was over the automatic urge to inhale. I'm not saying that will work for everyone, but it may work for you!

Cigars worked pretty well for me. Also tried vaping but I realised it's just not for me.

@Dr. Gheorghe Alexandru Cristian What I didn't like about vaping was that there was no 'substance' when puffed on it. It was like taking in the vapor from one of those vaporizer machines you use when you're sick. Smoke has a much thicker consistency. I tried both e-cigars and an e-pipe. It was nowhere near the same.

Been smoking pipes now for two years, more of a weekend enjoyment with my Beer, Whiskey or Bourbon. That zoning out while prepping a bowl, slowing down to enjoy your tobacco while everyone and everything is still barreling onward is the best feeling ever. Pure enjoyment.👌

came for the tobacco pipes, stayed for the wisdom.

So well thought-out and stated. Today, it seems too many people hate freedom because they fear responsibility and self-reliance. It's been said that the obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than cowardly.

This video was a joy to watch. I appreciate your thoughts, just started smoking from a pipe and doing a bit of YouTube serfing, and I'm happy to have come across your vid. I agree, the whole “your safety is our priority” drives me nuts too. It's pretty condescending to put people in a position to be coddled and catered to as a means to get more money while preventing law suit. The lack of personal responsibility is also what leads to stagnancy and people not growing or learning from their mistakes. They'll always fall upon the cushion of "it's somebody else's fault" and essence living room for weakness to be manipulated by their own faults they refuse to acknowledge, and thus the cycle continues.

I actually really loved this. One specific danger, and another explained through a wise rant. "Everything in moderation" I depend on the internet and certain amenities of the modern age, but hate seeing people who can't handle having to figure things out on their own or show some responsibility. This was very well put!
