OSHA, cleanup, aisle 5.
I can't believe how fragile the shelving was. Perhaps it was overloaded?
I also can't believe how fast he got out of there.

That's a really n ice one to analyze for cause-and-effect.
The shelf he hits collapses, causing the shelf near the camera to pick up in the air a bit, which it looks like causes a leg to detach or tuck under, or maybe a shelf to detach and knock a leg out of line when the weight comes back down on the near shelves.

On Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:59:59 -0800, the infamous Gunner Asch
scrawled the following:
D'ya think that shelving system was just slightly overloaded, or not built to OSHA standards, or both? (I'll bet both.)
I hope that driver isn't able to get another job driving a forklift in the future.

Looks like standard pallet racking.
Probably overloaded high, and no locks installed.

If the uprights had been bolted to the floor, this likely would not have
happened, or been confined to a single section....

I'd say that a FLT driver that has never even slightly nerfed something has
probably not been driving a one for that long. Notwithstanding that, it looks
like he was lucky, note how he falls over after bailing out.

Explain locks. We Have 3 or 4 foot baskets with 2000# of castings in these kind
of racks.
That .gif scared the chit out of me.

Ya don't think that stuff falling from six levels up, even higher than the camera could cover may indicate overloading, do ya?

I drove for years in the Las Vegas conventions. Yeah, if you drive for
long, you will screw something up. The worst thing, however, are hazards
others cause you, and inattentive people that you may inadvertently hurt.
The best times to really get stuff moving are periods of time when there are
not a lot of people around. Some people are absolutely ignorant around
equipment that can really hurt them.

It doesn't look like the driver's fault. A slight contact can happen
sometimes. But the weak shelf system took deliberation and ongoing lack of
attention on the part of a superior.

Seems like there was a design error for the house of cards to fall!

Saw a forklift at Lowe's the other day. It was going out
with a wide load that wasn't squared - that is the boards
were spread left and right by a foot or two on each side.
I didn't see the load exactly - I was two isles away - just saw the top of the load and the forker working back and forth - got one side out now to go back and forth at an angle....
He got out - but a minute of reloading would have saved that.
The outside bay door (front) was a bit narrow.
I was concerned the stack would come apart...

Or assembly -- the shelves may have been designed to be bolted to the
floor, or otherwise fastened in ways that were just too tedious to carry
out by the crew that put them in.

hese kind of racks.
Essentially, any shelf or joint that can come apart if lifted,
unweighted, etc. is 'unlocked'.
For example, if you have a shelf on a rack, and that shelf comes off
just by lifting, "that can be bad".
'Locking' keeps the joint from coming apart no matter which way the joint is loaded.
It looks like the far rack the forklift hits collapses, which actually raises the racks near the camera. Since these racks contain joints which can simply come apart when the rack is lifted off the ground from the top, when the weight comes back down on the legs some joint has come apart which was evidently critical to keeping the rack together.
