Horror moment worker sucked inside flour machine and loses three limbs

This is the shocking moment a worker is sucked into an industrial processing machine while trying to pour a bag of flour inside and is spun around at high speed losing three of his limbs before colleagues finally managed to turn it off.

The shocking incident in which the man had an arm and both legs ripped off took place at a plywood factory in Hung Long ward, Chon Thanh town, Binh Phuoc province, Vietnam, on May 23.

It is believed that the flour was being used to create a starch-based resin used to make the plywood because it is considerably cheaper than synthetic resins.

The footage shows the victim, named as 38-year-old Nguyen Van Luu, picking up the bag of flour and pouring it into a machine but it snags him and sucks him in, spinning him around at high speed and spraying flour everywhere before his colleagues manage to shut off the device.

He appears to still be moving as the machine stops spinning and the footage comes to an end. He was rushed to the Binh Duong Provincial General Hospital suffering from a severed arm, and both legs severed, as well as severe head trauma and other injuries.

His family has said that they are unable to pay his hospital fees, but the company is reportedly supporting the family and helping with some of the costs.

The family shared images of Nguyen on social media in a bid to raise funds to help pay for his medical costs. The police have said that they are investigating the incident.
