My initial reaction was that this wouldnt really happen unless it was a big chain. You shouldnt wear them in but a neclace or belt buckle is too small for that much force to be exerted. It would pull on it, but you can still pull it back if its small enough. Then I read the article, "a 20 pound chain" - holy shit! That could definitely yank you around. What a tragedy.

Also, "turn that damn thing off!" They literally cant. There is an emergency stop but it takes several hours for the energy to dissipate and it wont release in the time needed. MRIs are known to lift 500 pound hospital beds and crush people between them. The force is incredible. Normally for this reason there is safety protocols and the doors to the room are locked by passcode or badge access to prevent entries like this.

I don’t want to be cruel but this seems like a Darwin Award contender. Wtf was he thinking?

That's horrific
