Shocking image of a female worker in China whose hair got caught in a machine and her scalp was completely torn off → The before and after scenes leading up to the reconstruction are too gruesome. Surprisingly recovered.

Long hair entanglement and scalp peeling, a recurring pattern at a Chinese factory
The scalp avulsion that is said to have occurred at a factory in China is one of the types that has been repeatedly reported in factory accident reports in that country. In September 2012, an accident occurred at a stone factory in Hunan province, where a worker’s hair got caught in a drilling machine and most of the scalp on the top of his head was torn off. In August 2016, a 41-year-old female worker at a factory in Quanzhou, Fujian Province suffered a similar serious injury when her long hair got caught in a machine when she bent down to pick up a part that had fallen during assembly line work. In June 2019, a similar accident occurred at a metal products factory in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, and in this case, death was confirmed due to cardiopulmonary arrest and hemorrhagic shock. What all of them have in common is that they have long, untied hair and were working near high-speed rotating machinery, and whether they survive or die depends largely on the extent of their injuries and the speed at which they were transported.
These individual accidents are just one of the 21,242 people killed in production safety accidents in 2023, as shown by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, and the death rate in the mining and manufacturing sector (1.244 people per 100,000 people produced) on a national scale, as well as the ILO’s estimate of the number of deaths from industrial accidents around the world (approximately 380,000 people per year).
