There was one similar to that one that I saw last week that took place in a liquor distribution warehouse. It brought a tear to my liver. :-)

Fastest he's had to run in a long time. Likely just kept going right on to his car and straight to a newspaper stand to look up jobs in the classifieds.

I like how the forklift didn't even budge.

My father-in-law was trying to load a pallet on the very top shelf similar to the ones in the video about 40 foot off the ground. He almost had it in when the back of the pallet took out a large diameter sprinkler line. OMFG was that a waterfall!!! :-) The bad part about it was that nobody in the entire shop knew where any shutoff valve was. It took the fire department 30 minutes to get there and over an hour scouring the entire 7 acre lot to find the main water valve. It was sweet!!!

Yikes

Sprinklers...

When I was a pup.. I had a job in New Orleans in the middle of the summer to dismantel an old sprinkler system.. It had been in place over 20 years,,, and you can't imagine (maybe you can) how foul water can get sitting for 20 years in an old pipe,, Who know what kind of critters were livin in that dark warm pipe.... It could have been on that "worst jobs" show... man it was gross.

Yuck!....yes, I can imagine the stench....I helped remove an old boiler that had sat for many years.

It bad enough removing a goose neck in a bathroom sink thats used daily. I could only imagine the "swamp water" from those pipes.

what concerns me and will stick in my mind is how unstable that shelving sysem is.
i as i am sure many others have used the braille technique of driving a forklift.

I agree with the unstable it appears to have been a loaded gun waiting to go off.

Here is a pic of our forklift....picture was taken many moons ago, I use this as driver training because people don't think these trucks will turn over. Driver was attempting to turn around with some 40' material(angles) on the forks, he lifted it up towards the top of it's reach to clear the roof of the compressor room that juts out from the main building, was moving a long and touched the brakes for a second thinking he hadn't cleared the roof, and over it went...ended up tearing the gutters and down spouts off the building. Luckily that was all that was damaged.

John, can I rip this photo? I'd like to add it to my own forklift class.

Help yourself. It was scanned from an old picture that was taken a long time ago....(explaining the lack of sharpness)

I've seen Impala's at lowrider shows doing similar tricks. :-)
