Default Will the Fan Decapitate a Person?

If you've ever watched the Jerry Springer show, you've seen that huge
fan in his studio. I've noticed that the fan turns really slow, but
I've always waited to see it speeded up, and watch one of those losers
on his show get thrown into the fan. Would this fan decapitate and
mangle the body of a person tossed into it? At what speed would it
need to run? How large would the motor need to be in HP?

The Springer Show really needs something new. This would be the exact
thing it needs to bring back the ratings. After all, those worthless
trailer trash drug addicted losers are a dime a dozen, so why not
mangle one of them live on the show to improve the ratings. Or for
that matter, why not toss Jerry himself into the fan....
No one would miss him or his show!!!!

[Of course they'd have to film the fan from the outside of the
building too, to see all the blood and guts spurting out]

Of course the fan would have to be REAL and used for ventilation
rather than just being a prop/set piece built where it was installed
only for visual interest and style to accentuate the white trash
world the show in question was intended to entertain...

My fan story is room with vaulted ceilings and a running fan. Carrying 8'
stepladder. Ooops!

Only in the movies will a standard ceiling fan lop your head off

Hey, those are some...big ass fans!

Now lets see. If I got a washing machine motor, some surplus helicopter
blades, tie-wraps, duct tape....hmmm.


When I was a kid on the farm, I built a play helicopter. Of course it
didn't fly but it made that whistling sound you hear when one is at
idle. I used a washing machine motor and a 12 foot 1x2 for the main
blade and 2 foot 1x2 and an old car heater blower motor for the tail
rotor. Me and my little brothers would play Whirlybird like the TV
series of the time. :-)

No need for the link. Recall it well.

You should have built it on an embankment or something. More realistic
if you launched it with them in it. That's what little brothers are for.
Then you could play "Emergency!".

I think I was 9 or 10 when my father taught me house wiring and I would
build mad scientist machines and being no fool, I would get one of my
little brothers to plug it in while I ducked behind something. They
never got hurt......much. ^_^

I've seen it and wondered if it's the same fan off the old SNL set.

Skull pack with the built-in carrying holes. No part of the carcass goes to
waste!

People named Green probably shouldn't joke about Soylent Green. It might
not refer to the item's color but rather to it's origin.
