The Necklace That Shouldn’t Have Been Worn: A Tragic MRI Reminder

“Do you have any metal on your body?”

It’s a question you’ve probably heard before entering a medical imaging room. It might sound routine—almost too simple to matter. But as one man in Westbury, New York, learned the hard way, ignoring that question can be deadly.

Earlier this week, a 61-year-old man walked into an MRI suite at Nassau Open MRI. He wasn’t a patient—he was a visitor. And according to reports, he entered without permission, unaware (or perhaps unconcerned) about the danger waiting behind the door.

Around his neck hung a heavy metal necklace.

That necklace would soon become a missile.

As the MRI machine powered up, the magnetic field—a force thousands of times stronger than Earth’s natural magnetism—ripped the necklace forward, pulling the man violently toward the magnet. The result was catastrophic. He suffered critical injuries and was rushed to the hospital.

Why This Happened—and Why It Shouldn’t Have

MRI machines are marvels of modern medicine. They allow doctors to see deep into the body without needing to cut it open. Yet, the science that powers them relies on an immense magnetic force.

That’s why medical staff ask the same questions again and again:

• Do you have any metal implants?
• Are you wearing jewelry?
• Have you removed your belt, watch, or hairpin?

These aren’t suggestions. They’re essential precautions to prevent precisely what happened in Westbury.

The necklace that injured this man was an everyday item—something many of us wear without a second thought. 

But in the MRI room, it was anything but ordinary.

A Reminder Worth Heeding

This tragic incident serves as a sobering reminder:

Always follow MRI safety guidelines. Always respect warning signs. Never assume a machine like this can be taken lightly.

The man who wore the necklace didn’t mean to cause harm. The laws of physics don’t care about intent. In an MRI suite, metal is never safe unless it’s been declared and cleared.

So next time someone asks you,

“Do you have any metal on your body?”

Don’t shrug it off.

Your answer will save your life!
