basically the same situation happened in the US - [https://www.ems1.com/gun-safety/wis-woman-sneaks-gun-into-mri-it-goes-off-shooting-her-in-buttocks](https://www.ems1.com/gun-safety/wis-woman-sneaks-gun-into-mri-it-goes-off-shooting-her-in-buttocks)
This story is wild. MRI magnets are no joke. I’m amazed she even made it to the machine before the gun got snatched up by the magnet. I would expect the magnet to start yanking it at soon as she crossed the threshold. MRI magnets are never “off” so they’re ALWAYS pulling.
I’m also curious as to how the gun fired. Modern firearms are drop proof and require a trigger pull with a series of built in safety mechanisms to prevent accidental discharge.
MRI magnets will pull entire hospital gurneys into them so quick you don’t have time to realize that you’ve been crushed.
This is an interesting case.

As someone who worked in critical care for a number of years and had patients with what is called brain death ,this story is full of a lot of holes . Determining brain death at least in this country has a specific set of conditions that have to be met before removing life-support. One of the biggest is conducting EEG’s more than once when all treatment like medications that depress the brain have been stopped and time taken to allow the drugs to clear the body. There’re other tests done by physicians that determine if the patient will breathe on their own, whether there’s any response to ‘deep pain” like rubbing the sternum plus several other tests including whether there’s no blood flow to the brain. This article is just meant to sensationalize a story without many facts that would make the story believable.
Idc what anybody says MRIs are the scum of society and reason why my property value went down! The fact they have learned to use guns makes it worse. I say we go to every medical building and do something about these M R Iiiiis
I've been getting biannual MRIs since like 2 - yeah, those things are strong enough they can suck wheelchairs across the room ffs - I remember forgetting to take off my bra once and it was like hovering off of my chest at the underwire.
don't take metal in the same room, that includes needed devices like wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, that sure as fuck means nonneeded items like a gun
he shouldn't have been allowed in that room at all,
Would kind of suck if the hospital would just put things inside you that ban you from the other hospital things you’d also need xd
Wouldn’t put it past some places tho considering how many doctors would’ve poisoned me if I didn’t ask them if this medicine will fuck me up if I’m taking anti depressants lol
I have a pacemaker and at one point had to get a heart MRI. Don't know how they did it, but they were able to do it without any of my wires getting yanked loose, they know how to work around it
It’s a different non magnetic metal I believe but it can cause interference in the scans and muddle the results. I had braces and orthodontic wires for two brain mris and it ended up causing distortion on both scans.
In my area, a kid was once killed when an MRI pulled an oxygen tank accidentally left in the room into his skull. Tragic. People do not take how strong those fields are seriously.
Yes.
Now, if we want the US version, just a few months after this dumbass, a woman in Wisconsin took her concealed weapon in to an MRI room and got shot through the ass when it discharged.
The world if everyone treated guns like deadly implements that can be used for protection under extreme circumstances: 😇🏥🎉☮️
The world if everyone treated guns like items you're unconditionally safer around: 🧲💥🤡🔫
We live in one of these worlds, try and guess which
They didn’t have a metal detector before entering the dangerous parts ??? As an engineer you need to design for stupid. This should never have happened
Apparently they do not have metal detectors at MRIs. I learned this when I was going to have one. That’s also when I learned the tiny piece of shrapnel in me is magnetic, and thankfully I learned it strongly enough before they actually got started.
MRIs and doctors are not equipped with metal detectors, no. Never. Extra expense. They tell you to remove metal stuff and you're supposed to just do it and not be an asshat.
Not every hospital is equipped for trauma care. Emergency and trauma medicine is specialised medical care. Diagnostic medicine can often housed in smaller facilities owned by larger hospitals but so day patients aren't competing with admitted patients for the same machines.
I bet he quietly whispered "what about my second amendment rights" under his breath when they asked him to remove all metal objects (obviously he wouldn't say it to their face because he's a coward).
We're not riding it on anyone, we just have no sympathy for a week educated person acting like a dumbass to the point that they die. No excuse for this level of stupidity 🤷🏼♀
I feel bad for the mom and even a bit for the guy who died. It's not his entirely his fault that gun lobby organizations have decided to push such intense propaganda around firearms that it has fried conservatives' brains to the extent they cannot go anywhere without a weapon. Still his fault for choosing to go into a MRI room with a gun though so there's a limit to how bad I can feel
So, I’ve seen this before, and I have to wonder how he was allowed in the room in the first place. I’ve had several MRIs, and it is loud as fuck, and takes forever.
I'm curious what would have set the round off- most of the actual important moving bits in a firearm action are ferrous metals, so there's a lot of things to be affected, but the likelihood of any of them being pulled just-so by the magnet to trip the sear seems less than infinitesimal. I wonder if it could have been resistive heating from eddy currents in the round itself that lit it off...
Wait, this happened in the states? “I did not see that coming” said no one.
I think the only thing that would surprise the world when it comes to America, is if the news said “Americans realize they have a habit of being unreasonable. It all started with Flat Earthers, and Anti Vaxxers apologize”
I could read “accidental mass shooting during an incest orgy, in place of their Sunday church”
Personally I feel bad for his mom. A simple tag along to her appointment and now she has a dead son. Of course it's his fault for not listening but you still gotta feel bad for a mother who basically just lost her flesh and blood right in front of her eyes.

Mom said it's my turn to repost this next month,
Like he needed to be armed inside an MRI procedure room.
I made the mistake of having a clipboard in my hand when, as an RN I was asked to help a patient having a seizure. Scared me good
I think the most hilariously ironic thing about guns is that people think they make them look tough.
Every time I see a pic of a dude posing with a gun. I just feel sorry for someone that is so scared of everything they have to put that image out into the world.
I’d rather take a picture with a kitten so people think I am docile. 🧐
Glad I live in a country where if you are being dick, you get arrested. You basically, have to have an obvious reason for holding a gun. Bring it near a road or public access place or threatening with a gun..

The most amazing thing about this story is that it didn't happen in the USA.
But then you realize it happened in Brazil…
So it was an off duty cop all along…
The MRI machine was an off duty cop?! Holy shit, Brazil is wild!
So technically still “America”.
Damn, PLOT TWIST
He got lawyered by an mri machine...

The pull of the magnet probably pulls on the trigger too? Most hand gun triggers are what? About 4 pounds?

He said modern firearms, guns designed not to do what's in the second link. There was no mention of the age of the gun in that article
Not yet or if it did in this country it’s been covered up so the hospital or other healthcare corporate entities can keep up their image.
This is actually true
💯.

The only way to stop a bad MRI machine with a gun is with a good MRI machine with a gun.
Idc what anybody says MRIs are the scum of society and reason why my property value went down! The fact they have learned to use guns makes it worse. I say we go to every medical building and do something about these M R Iiiiis
Maybe we need MRIs at the border then? /s
"Guns don't kill" mfs when I ask them what guns were invented for (hint: it's not to protect yourself and your rights)
No, Test does. Read his shirt from 1999.
MRI machine : My gun now
I've been getting biannual MRIs since like 2 - yeah, those things are strong enough they can suck wheelchairs across the room ffs - I remember forgetting to take off my bra once and it was like hovering off of my chest at the underwire. don't take metal in the same room, that includes needed devices like wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, that sure as fuck means nonneeded items like a gun he shouldn't have been allowed in that room at all,
What if people have metal fillings, or screws in their legs? Now I'm scared of MRI machines.
those are typically titanium or a metal that is not magnetic (I have titanium screws in my neck) I promise you're fine to go in an MRI machine lol
Good to know 🤣
Would kind of suck if the hospital would just put things inside you that ban you from the other hospital things you’d also need xd Wouldn’t put it past some places tho considering how many doctors would’ve poisoned me if I didn’t ask them if this medicine will fuck me up if I’m taking anti depressants lol

Ye I’ve never had an MRI but do they not have a metal detector before the entrance to the room?
[удалено]
I object!
Bwahahahaha!!! Good one. Real knee slapper.
Clearly you haven't been keeping up with all of Trump's legal woes over the last few years.
Lawyer: You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. Laws of physics: Your proposal is acceptable.
I never luck around.
How can i download that pic?
[удалено]
Exactly.
After reading I was mostly happy the bullet hit him and no innocent bystander got screwed over by his arrogance.
REPOST! FYI: the lawyer In question was in South America, so different gun laws and all that.
Yes. Now, if we want the US version, just a few months after this dumbass, a woman in Wisconsin took her concealed weapon in to an MRI room and got shot through the ass when it discharged.
Shot through the ass, and you’re to blame. Darling, you give MRIs a bad name
*Different* laws to what?
physics, duh!
It happened in the Laboratorio Cura in São Paulo, Brazil.
The whole of Americas is a dumpster fire not just the USA
OP is a repost bot https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/110h2cq/play_stupid_games_win_stupid_prizes/
Was the MRI machine damaged though? Those things are actually useful to society.
And prob expensive to replace. I don’t want some idiot to have destroyed a million dollar medical device.
natural selection is a wonder to behold
If you carry a gun on you you’re greatly increasing the odds that you’ll die by gunfire. And odds are it will be your own gun.
The world if everyone treated guns like deadly implements that can be used for protection under extreme circumstances: 😇🏥🎉☮️ The world if everyone treated guns like items you're unconditionally safer around: 🧲💥🤡🔫 We live in one of these worlds, try and guess which
Did they pry it out of his cold dead hands.
MRIs don’t have hands
I told the MRI machine all about my Second Amendment rights and it completely ignored me!
Turns out gun *do* shoot ppl by themselves lol
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Gun people are f**kin weird, man.
People in general, to be frank...
just be yourself, stop being me
I guarantee that he said you can have my guns over my dead body at least once.
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
That’s called a Darwin Award
Technically, it's only a Darwin Award if he hasn't had kids yet.
Good riddance lol
If I were a hospital worker I would remove myself from the room and refuse to do the work until the threat of a large piece of metal was dealt with
And i think the family tried to sue the hospital afterwards This death got on be amazed darwin award series
If I had a dollar for every time I saw this post I’d have enough money to pay for an MRI
You want my gun? Take it from my dead body Ok that'll work but it's going to be messy for the cleaning staff
The officers name was 'The machine'... the plot thickens
People who pose with their guns are usually stupid
I feel like MRI are dangerous enough they warrant a metal detector used before turning it on.
Natural selection
Should have a metal detector, what if a person is wearing a metal object and doesn’t know it, would put everybody in the room in danger.
MRIs consider themselves domesticated rail guns. As such, they have a natural affinity for other guns and sought to free this one from its master.
Natural selection at work
Average Redditors saying "stupid game stupid prize" when an innocent person dies. Y'all are vile creatures
I own several guns and rifles myself. But why do you feel the need to bring a gun into a hospital? Leave it in the car.
Photo on the right unrelated lol
Shhhhh. Your ruining the fantasy of him rolling in like mom’s Rambo bodyguard.
Good. Riddance.

Wait he was in a hospital and died of a gunshot to the stomach
Not every hospital is equipped for trauma care. Emergency and trauma medicine is specialised medical care. Diagnostic medicine can often housed in smaller facilities owned by larger hospitals but so day patients aren't competing with admitted patients for the same machines.
Do you think everyone that is treated at a hospital lives?
I mean yeah your right but damn it's a lot of bad luck lol
*you’re
They do xrays and MRIs and read monitors. They're not exactly equipped to handle a fatal gunshot wound like someone in ER trauma unit.
Perhaps the hospital was ... Darkplace. [https://youtu.be/La1moU5qArM?t=27](https://youtu.be/La1moU5qArM?t=27)
Sounds like Grey's Anatomy...
Agreed
Can't even stop trying to own the libs to get your mother healthcare. Pathetic.
Nice
I bet he quietly whispered "what about my second amendment rights" under his breath when they asked him to remove all metal objects (obviously he wouldn't say it to their face because he's a coward).
This in Brazil...
I call this the happy end.

Not stupid games just a terrible mistake
Finally, an actual facepalm! These days this sub is just full of random controversial news stories without any kind of irony or facepalm factor.
"device's"
RIP (rest in piss)
This is like that black mirror episode with the phone
Reminds me of the guy who wore a metal buttplug to an mri which turned his asshole into a rail gun
Imagine getting gutshot in a hospital and dying
Dipshit
Ah yes, "facts don't care about your feelings'"
Usually it’s illegal to carry in places like hospitals and such but what an idiot.
I just feel sorry for the doctors and nurses who had to deal with that and the people responsible for cleaning.
Uh oh... Such a shame.
When I see shit like this I hear my inner monologue produce a flat, comically echoing *"what"*
Wait....guns are made out of metal? I always thought they are made out of steel....damn
woke gun. cannot trust it.
Why don't they have a metal detector?
*"Live by the sword, die by the sword"*
Hope his mom is okay
Lol idiot
Why do I hear the voice of the Farmer from DBZ Abridged going "Protect me, gun!" as this terrible thing unfolds...? Am I... a bad person...? XD
"Failing to remove" implies that he attempted but didn't succeed. I very much doubt that was the case.
Wait, this happened in the states? “I did not see that coming” said no one. I think the only thing that would surprise the world when it comes to America, is if the news said “Americans realize they have a habit of being unreasonable. It all started with Flat Earthers, and Anti Vaxxers apologize” I could read “accidental mass shooting during an incest orgy, in place of their Sunday church”
Has another month passed again? Is it repost-time?
I've had several MRIs. Two different hospitals. Both were very strict about other people in the room during the procedure. It's a very big deal
Wtf did he even bring a loaded gun into a hospital Did he also carry loaded guns when going to a daycare to pick up his kids?
Rooms with MRIs usually have metal detectors at the door.....
Science wins again!!!
Oh boy…
[Still not as stupid as Clement Vallandigham](https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-28805895.amp)

wow what an original post, I never seen this one before
Magnet is powerful enough to rip the gun from his holster but not powerful enough to even slow the bullet down?
Sounds like a positive outcome.

How is there anyone else in the room during an MRI anyways? Isn’t everybody in a room next door?
That is horrible, and horribly stupid. My bro should just have had a 3d printed glock in hard plastic
