Adrienne Jones-McAllister, his wife, requested that a technician call her husband in to assist her in getting off the table after she had just finished an MRI on her knee.

The machine’s strong magnetic attraction drew McAllister in as soon as he walked in the door, still wearing the 20-pound metal chain his wife claimed he “used for weight training.”

Jones-McAllister told News 12 Long Island, “I saw him walk toward the table and then the machine just snatched him.”

“He went limp in my arms – and this is still pulsating in my brain.”

She claimed that in spite of the obvious chain, which had been worn during earlier visits to the same facility, the technician let her husband inside the room.

“That was not the first time that guy had seen that chain. They’d had a conversation about it before,” she said
