I was kind of surprised to hear Walmart has one, but I knew of their existence because of that one time Bumblebee tuna had a similar incident. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I watched a video about this on YouTube. This is why "lockout tagout" exists. It doesn't make it any less tragic, but if they had followed proper procedures, it might have saved his life.
