      Was the necklace even related to the death? It says he had a “series of heart attacks” which doesn’t sound like something caused by being pulled toward the machine.

        If the necklace impeded blood flow or even put a lot of strain on his circulatory system then it could have caused his heart attacks.

        Sounds like it wasn’t him being pulled towards the machine that killed him, it was being pinned against the machine for a prolonged period of time.

      Easy solution : have a pure gold necklace, since gold isn’t magnetic

        Moving fields, eddy currents still apply.

        Copper isn’t magnetic either https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu1uRvErM80
