My stepdad had a non-cancerous brain tumor that was pressing in his skull in a way that was giving him seizures and made him completely deaf in his right ear.

The engineer was complaining that the failure light was on even though the power supply seemed to be working.

The beam that went through Bugorski’s head was rated at 2,000 grays. When it exited, the beam read 3,000. At that insane level, it should have left him with a hole right through his face like a laser gun would in a movie, but it didn’t. Though he seemed fine at first, this powerful blast of particles caused the left side of his head to balloon out of control and some of his skin to peel off at the site where it entered and exited his skull. It also burned a line straight through his brain, though he experienced no mental decline. Despite many of the doctors telling him he would likely die at any moment, Bugorski lived. He's still alive today, but of course, there were complications. He eventually lost hearing in his left ear, started to experience seizures, and half of his face became paralysed. Amazingly, none of these stopped him from later earning his PhD. One of the weirdest discoveries deduced from the incident is that proton beams could prevent skin wrinkles, because the half of Bugorski’s face that took the brunt of the beam looks like it hasn’t aged a day since. So the short answer is that sticking your head inside a particle accelerator should cause a burn hole straight through your skull. Or, if you’re lucky like Bugorski was, you'll skip the head hole and just have to deal with a slew of other health problems. But the moral of the story is clear either way: please don’t stick your head inside a particle accelerator.

This man is a f#%king legend. Firstly: he's alive. Being born in 1942 - while the Nazis had still marched across the Soviet Union; and having a high-energy beam shot through his head, basically catching a proton bullet... He's 82 years old and still endures. Moreover, the incident didn't stop him from not only having a few papers published in 1983, but also working on the project of outputting a 70 GeV proton beam to the RAMPEX system using silicon crystals - paper on that topic was published in 2001, with him stated as one of the authors. Not every man could've done that even without being blasted with a parcticle accelerator, so he's far cooler than it seems.

long story short. The left half of Bugorski's face swelled up beyond recognition and, over the next several days, the skin started to peel, revealing the path that the proton beam had burned through parts of his face, his bone, and the brain tissue underneath. As it was believed that he had received far in excess of a fatal dose of radiation, Bugorski was taken to a clinic in Moscow where the doctors could observe his expected demise. However, Bugorski survived, completed his PhD, and continued working as a particle physicist.There was virtually no damage to his intellectual capacity, but the fatigue of mental work increased markedly. Bugorski completely lost hearing in the left ear, replaced by a form of tinnitus. The left half of his face was paralyzed due to the destruction of nerves. He was able to function well, except for occasional complex partial seizures and rare tonic-clonic seizures.

@@silverrob6868 This seems to demonstrate that the "light" he saw wasn't actually light. Light - photons - hits the eyes, stimulates rods and cones, sends signals to the optic nerve which sends signals to the brain. Something that is too bright damages the stuff inside the eyes and causes blindness. What he saw didn't go through the same process. He 'saw' light, but anyone else who was watching (but wasn't getting blasted) wouldn't see the light, 'cause the light wasn't actually there. No photons ever hit his eyes. The reason he 'saw' something might be because the protons blasting through the optic nerve itself might have caused them to send a false signal through the brain that it interpreted at light, even though no true light has hit his eyes. Or, particles burrowing through the brain caused direct stimulation of the visual parts of said brain - causing another false signal that he perceived as light.

What I find hilarious is this guy had a proton travelling at the speed of light go straight through his brain and his response is I’ll go home and sleep it off

[@Renard380]

People commenting about how he just went home. Don't forget he was very aware of what had just happened, so he was probably convinced he was going to die in a matter of days and there was nothing that could be done. Everybody reacts differently when facing imminent death.

[@vondahe]

Very good point.

Man just wanted to spend time alone or with his family, perfectly understandable

[@thebloodyaussie1458]

True, but there's also other cases of Russian men who just go about their day after having bad shit done. The One Man, One Jar guy just went on with his day after bleeding severely from the anus, and I believe he actually went to work later that day.

I love how he knew shit hit the fan but still kept working like it was another day.

[@helldvan]

Because he knew that he might get fired or get less wage for this accident... He "Hoped for avos" (common russian saying: Надеяться на авось, what means "wait, maybe everything will be good in the end") because there in russia its always "Person's fault" if something happens. Trust me, i worked 8 years as electrician in oil industry, inside a country wide company and every single accident (country wide) during my work there was "His own fault"...

Sounds like the result of an awful workplace environment... I mean, I am literally surrounded by radiation at work. We take that stuff very seriously and would make a big deal about accidental exposure, and none of what we're dealing with is even anywhere near fatal levels!

[@FlagCutie]

@@probablythedm1669 Not to sound accusatory, but your safety was paid in part because of accidents like this one. Just like unions nowdays owe a lot of their pull to the oppressed workers of the past.

"He felt no pain" Not surprising. The brain has no nerves that detect pain. This is one of the reasons that many brain surgeries can be conducted without general anesthesia.

[@DarkArachnid666]

Wait... Doesn't the drilling through the skull hurt? Patient: No anesthesia? Will it hurt? Doc: This surgery is quite painless. Now, lie down, so we can begin. *turns on scary looking drill* Patient: NOOOOOOOO!!! :O
