Accidentally welding your head in between a railing. Not too shocking, since his PPE consists of a single glove.

Actually NOT! If you look you will see that he welded this end HIGHER than the other end. He could have simply moved to the right and his head would have come out fine. He also could have just pulled on the right side, it wasn't even welded, look how it came off when he broke the left side off.

Many years ago one of the new guys in the shop installed a transmission with a PTO in a log truck, after installing the shaft for the pto he started yelling for help, I asked whats up, my head is stuck and I can't get out. I rolled under on my creeper and had a good laugh, so I asked how did that happen, so how about unbolting one end to release your head, he survived all the shop jokes.

Stupid is as stupid does.

That is why he had a grinder handy just in case he did something stupid! Too bad if he had to holler for help then the humiliation would have been multiplied.

Well someone was making the video since the camera angle keeps moving around.

I don't know if I would've been able to remain that calm. Realistically, I would probably look something more like this:

re: move a little to the right, BUT then he would have had to think, obvious not in his job description.

Another solution.
