That's right up there with calling Epsteins victims "underage women" instead of CHILDREN

I read them, UN.

So there's at least one more!

There's no FOMO, there's no reward for continuing on when you the people in front of you slow down, or you've been told to turn around.

There's specific mentalities that contribute to crowd crush events and an organized peace march just doesn't have that.

Also not an expert, just hyper fixated on disasters for awhile and crowd crushes and similar "stampede" events were a solid week of videos, papers, and news articles.

People won’t stand up for their neighbors and community when Nazies are rounding the others up

Because it doesn't directly affect them yet.

"Then they came for my coffee", and all that.

Evolution.

It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.

It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.

Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans. ::: spoiler (it's the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day) :::

There was on one that I've been in, not sure about this one.

From my understanding, when an MRI is emergency stopped it doesn't stop immediately, and it causes a lot of damage, so staff are less likely to use it in an emergency. Stupid, yes. But when you're worried about getting fired for hitting a button, you're less likely to think of a situation as an emergency. You would think "chain strangling a man" constitutes an emergency though...

As for the staff not stopping the guy making a beeline for the door with more than just words, I'm not sure. I would prefer staff tackle me to the floor rather than let me blithely walk to my doom. Of course I'm only in my 30s...

The hospital is absolutely partly to blame, especially if they didn't properly convey the danger beforehand. All 3 hospitals I've recieved an MRI from have been pretty insistent about making sure I have no metal on or around me before I go in the doors though.

I'd say it's about 60/40 on the hospital.

Tldr for safety

To actually answer your question instead of piling on, it's a hospital, not a prison. In case of emergencies, the door absolutely cannot ever be potentially locked, even while the machine is on.

With how easily something can go wrong in an MRI, they need quick access without the addition of special keya/badges to get inside or relying on people inside to hit some lock release.

In cases like this it makes perfect sense to have a lock because an idiot was outside and ignored all the warnings. A lock would have prevented everything that followed him entering.

Buuuuuuut unfortunately we can't cater the entire world to the biggest idiots, if only for the safety of the less idiotic who might have a heart attack in the MRI and need to be quickly pulled out, or a piece of metal that snuck into their food and is now ripping out their insides.

In most situations where an emergency happens inside, quick reactions save lives, and locks slow reactions down to the slowest mechanism, which might be "I don't have the right RFID badge, go find another person who has one or the guy inside dies"

how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

He wasn't allowed in the room.

His wife panicked in the MRI, he charged into the room he was told not to go Into.

Nope, not me.

I'd like to think I'm funny though...

Well, I mean I DO technically have a YouTube channel that hasn't posted since 2017 and only has a few battlefield 3/4 clips on it I wanted to show friends.

Which YouTube guy would I be?
