Okay so I watched it and here's my thoughts. The last three are graphic but don't have the people screaming in pain as the realistic makeup effects are showing the event in "real time". They react calmy and talk as such after the fact. The second one is just old fasioned brutality, sudden and unpredictable. The first is the very worst.
In the end though, what is wrong with the people putting this on the air? Is there some epidemic of accidents happening? Don't these people get on the job training already? If that's not going to get them to work safely, I don't think the National Department of Condescending Paternalism is going to get them to do any better.
One semantic gripe: Those are still accidents, by definition. If those aren't, then what exactly is left for that word to describe?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
