Default Busy Bodies (1933)

Busy Bodies (1933)
People are always complaining about Health and Safety, comparing to being politically correct (or as I like to call it not being a racist ) for some reason Health and Safety and political correctness have been demonised ,I can only assume the only people who don't like to comply with these sort of things are bigoted idiots who want to fall into a threshing machine at work or loose an eye when there working on a lathe or not wear a harness when your working on high rise construction. The facts speak for themselves, in 1974 651 people died from workplace injuries compared to 2014/15 where only 92 people died. God knows what the statistics are like for the 1930's especially in sawmills and especially in ones where Stan and Ollie work, Busy Bodies makes the Saw movies look tame in comparison. Olly is repeatedly smacked in the face with a plank, soaked by a leaky water pipe,he's hit on the head by a massive saw disc, gets his hands stuck in a wooden window frame he's working on, has his backside shaved by Stan . Has a paint brush glued to his chin and has it unceremoniously shaved off with a vice and a pair of clippers and when that doesn't work he decides to use lots of soapy water and woodwork plane . He gets whacked on the head with a sink and gets sucked into a chute sent along a conveyor belt around some more chutes and then stuck in a vent. Then launched out of the vent by a barrel and crashes to the ground taking Stan with him. In a scene not un similar to Jess Franco's Bloody Moon there car is the sawn in halve by a massive band saw. Ladies and Gentleman do we really want to live in a society where these things are common workplace occurrences.
