To be fair this seems like a honest oversight
He entered the imaging room unauthorised. It was an honest Darwin Award
...someone probably should've stopped him
You don't know what you don't know. He probably wasn't even thinking about how MRI machines work.
The technician let him in. There was an oversight somewhere but we don't really know the details. Was the necklace under his shirt, was the receptionist on break, etc etc
Wearing a NINE kilogram necklace.
That's like approaching a campfire with clothes made out of tinder after soaking in some gasoline and drinking alcohol.
