No, there wasn't, but it appeared that when released he got up and walked off. I'd think that as long as he didn't hit his head on the wall or floor, we was just pretty dizzy.
If I had that type of wash, I think that I would figure out how to make sure that couldn't happen in the future. Maybe some type of panic button, you guys that run the tunnels, could probably come up with something.

There are emergency shut offs in tunnels typically placed mid way down the tunnel and on each end. I have actually seen ropes that run the length of a tunnel which when pulled, will engage the emegency shut off. If you are hung up like that guy, you are stuck until someone hits the stop. Never drag a hose anywhere near a turning brush. Always have two people on site and wait until the wash is stopped before performing any work in the tunnel. Common sense.
