Dude was wearing a 20lb chain while his wife was getting an MRI.
She freaked, and yelled for him, and he ran into the room while the machine was still on and fucking died.
This is 100% their fault, I could almost see an argument that the door needs a lock to prevent idiots with 20l s of metal around their neck from running in, but you don't want to lock everyone out in case there's an issue.
Metal detector on the door to the room.
this seems like the obvious solution to me and it's kinda wacky that it's not already standard, just have a loud as fuck alarm go off if metal goes through the first door leading to the general scanner area.
just gotta have enough distance between the detector and the scanner, so there's time for people to intervene.
