Forensic evidence sheds new light on Swedish MRI accident

The detailed forensic evidence presented in the 195- page police report on the serious MRI accident in Swedish Lapland contains photos and descriptions of the metallic objects that were effectively turned into flying weapons before they became attached to the scanner.

On 13 March, AuntMinnieEurope.com revealed details about the weighted vest worn by the specialist nurse who got sucked into the MRI machine in October 2019. The police report, finalized on 24 February, also indicates that a set of nickel-plated steel handcuffs and a baton were pulled into the magnet when security guards tried to rescue the nurse.

The handcuffs are made by TCH in Birmingham, U.K. The model name/number is TCH 802, and they weigh around 260 grams (almost 9.2 ounces), according to the report.
