Doh!!! That'll buff right out... :blink:

hmmmm.....the same website has Curly throwing his shoe at a former President. Color me skeptical about the veracity of the video.

Yeah, I dont know. Kinda questionable but I've seen it 1st hand having installed that interlake racking for years in DC's and stores.

If it's loaded improperly or hit just right it will collapse like a house of cards. I saw it first hand with a rack full of swings sets and skates. Too top heavy and when the guy hit it with one of those lifts used to change out ceiling lights it folded like the Dow Jones did today.

Maybe I wasn't having such a bad day afterall...

I would hate to see that in an earthquake if that little bit of a hit took it down.

 

[juniorfjr]

It looks like that stuff could still be falling.

I missed it the first few time watching...but the funniest thing in that video is watching the fork lift operator

running away like a scalded dog on ice.

Glad to see OSHA is right on top of things. I used to think that if I was in a Home Depot during an earthquake, that the safest thing to do was to dive into an open space in those racks. Now I intend to scream like a little girl and make a run for the exits.

You couldn't just say "I'm gonna have to call BS on that one."?

Well now... there's quite the visual... be careful OM doesn't follow you into a Home Depot and start shaking shelving just to test your intention... :lol:

I found the reply to be refreshingly diverse from the norm.

There is considerable room for me to find common ground with which to concur with your well thought out and reasoned conclusion.

Wait, the hip waders are around here somewhere....

Ya do know Iggy is a politician, don't ya?

Per contra, would said common ground in point of fact be applicable for concurring well thought out thoughts to reasonably conclude in said considerable room?

(Hip waders supplementary.)

Hey I got a warning for posting this kind of "political crap"! :bleh:

 

[wheatonFJR]

I worked in a warehouse many moons ago...this stuff can definitely happen. :blink:

It wasn't that light a hit, either. 5500-pound forklift carrying 2 or 3 thousand pounds on the tines, and pushing through the gap, trying to force the issue. That leg pulled away, which pulled the adjacent leg, which pulled. . . [Yul Brynner] et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Of course, as the pieces fell, they pulled adjacent zones out, and again, et cetera.

And there are places, like where I live, that actually don't have earthquakes. Start up Google Earth, turn on the Earthquake layer under Gallery, and hit Florida. Not a single red dot. Hell, even Alabama has some!

Oh, yeah. Go to Youtube, search "forklift accident." The first hit (and several more in the first group of hits) is a longer video of this event, including the people going in to it in the aftermath.

Aspiring to get directly to the point isn't entirely my forté. I have quirky predilection for Thesauri and unneeded accents....and prefer to waffle on this particular issue until somebody can provide a link more precisely confirming or denying the authenticity of this particular video.

Like this one. My non-commital previous statements are still valid...and I now believe it likely is a real video. Never underestimate arcane doublespeak.

And they said no politics on this board!

I guess you didn't mean no politicians!
