A tragic incident occurred at a Club Car facility in Georgia, where a 21-year-old woman named Alyssa Drinkard lost her life while attempting to retrieve her AirPods from a conveyor belt. Despite the efforts of her co-worker Fae’Zsha Smith, Drinkard was unable to free herself and had to be rescued by emergency responders.
Drinkard was pinned by the chain on the conveyor belt and, although she had a pulse when she was freed, she tragically passed away in the hospital the following morning. The incident has left Smith traumatized, as she witnessed her friend’s harrowing ordeal.
Employees at Club Car are advised against wearing jewelry and headphones while working on the production line to prevent such accidents. The company expressed its condolences to Drinkard’s family and friends and is cooperating with authorities in an investigation into the incident.
It is important to prioritize safety over material possessions. In situations like these, it is best to avoid risking one’s life for items like AirPods. Stay safe and consider purchasing a new pair instead of putting yourself in harm’s way.
