Comment on What happens if I eat a box of paper clips before an MRI?

You wouldn’t make it to the MRI. They’d be attracted to the magnet before you entered the MRI. Not too sure how close to the magnet you could get, but maybe a few feet?
I’d assume it depends on the strength of the magnet and efficiency of shielding (assuming MRIs have some shielding.
