Nov 2 2009You're Doing It Wrong: Crazy Fork Lift Accident

I laughed too... but imagine the termination that followed!!!

That's hilarious man, buried by boxes. I wonder if he got the sack, if they found him that is.

This was the case of epic-scale domino

NOOO!!!

I'd be surprised if that guy kept his job. But damn is that funny

HAHAHHAHA
can you imagine being at the bottom of that all youd have to do is open your mouth and you'd get drunk.

"But it's my first day!"

Clean up on aisle 4

So, so sad, but thank jebus they weren't bongs.

Never has there been a more vaild use of the hazard warning lights. He got them on just before it went bad.

I think I'll have to pass on the elephant walk though....

The funny thing about what you said GW, is that my dad is the manager of the paint department at the local lowes XD I give you permission to run him over with the forklift

that was the world trade center collapse, two forklifts, two tall structures, i think it was a terrorist plot

what happened to the guys in the fork lifts?

I know, I know, everyone calls me a loony conspiracy theorist, but dammit, that was a godd*mn terrorist!

You can take my hooch from my cold, dead hands.

@15 "They got SMASHED on $250,000 worth of vodka!!!" **cue 'rim-shot' sound byte**

at 0:39 you see the first forklift pull off.
That shit is dope.

Blocked at work. Sucks.

Death, be all but proud, though some have called thee mighty and dreadful. I am Legion for we are many...

hahaha i was linked to this on facebook but still funny to watch again. If you look close you can see some smoke coming from under the forklift maybe it malfunctioned?

He must've been drinking the vodka before the accident.

I was wondering what had become of Staplerfahrer Klaus.

I never knew they arranged industrial shelves in domino formation.

Great. Now what am I going to do next week.

Fire the shit out of him/(her?)

GIN!

When the boxes started falling, I could hear in my head Cleaveland saying "No, no, no, no, NO!"

Holy Epic Fail.

They probably made him lick it off the ground.

@7
He had to drink his way out

At first I thought his co-workers were scrambling to dig him out... then I realized they just wanted to pull him out and kick his ass

That was totally cool. But the clip was way longer than it needed to be. First 30 seconds was pointless. People should edit their shit - my time is precious. So precious that I'm on Geekologie.

*jaw literally drops @ 00:36* then *laughs*

i know somebody whos getting fired

Ahh, to be buried alive in Vodka.

this is obviously fake

A similar accident happened at a supermarket i used to work at - the guy had two pallettes of bottled wine topple onto the roof of his fork lift and smash everywhere. He was lucky there was wire mesh across the roll bars or he would've been brained.
There is probably security footage of it happening too but It's probably under lock and key.

ok I actually typed that first comment before watching the video - the accident at the supermarket didn't have sh!t on this holycrap!

you are soooo fired

i feel sorry for the dude if he survived because some one is going to have to pay for all the damage

@ Closet Nerd (10)

Breaking a bong is indeed traumatic. I bought a beautiful glass bong a while back, finally stepping up from the pipe/juicebottle/chewing gum scenario I had going, then found out I had a drug test coming up and had to quit. Stupidly I gave the bong to a friend. He shattered it within three days.

It hurt.

@delmo yeah dude that forklift boosts the heck outta there

I'd like to think of a witty comment to make, but all I have is this....

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a normal countries these high racks would have been protected by bumpers against this kind of accident...

@46 Exactly. What kind of a low budget shelving system is that?

those racks were overloaded to begin with, they shouldnt have collapsed like that if the weight limit hadnt been capped.

Well, running gas powered lifts inside a warehouse isn't the smartest thing either. Fill the building with exhaust fumes and then light a cigarette.

@43 That sucks. Well, I hope you've learned your lesson.... never give a bong away.

Zero Days without incident

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7hQD81kJkk pumpkin smashing :D

@43 just reading that conclusion hurts a little

Wow that place was just looking for that shit to happen. No protective barriers, and flimsy ass pallet racks. A decent pallet rack shouldn't crumble like that.
My co-workers have hit pallet racks many times. Nothing worse than a dented hi-lo or dented pole.
FAIL

oh, and that dude is soooooooo fired.

@40

atleast he's a good candidate for the darwin award 2009.
the ass should have been more carefull, you can see him driving way to fast in reverse.

Wooups!

hmm... funny video.
does this qualify as geeky?
i guess it would if bacon was driving the forklift.

I was listening to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin when watching this one...... Priceless.

The first guy running across the boxes looked like Golem. I know it's sad and all, but Golem.

that's ridiculous, I wonder how much weight was on top of that guy

CLIFFHANGER! Did they get the guy out safely? Over here in the US we have safety standards. That racking obviously wasn't rated for that amount of weight. It also wasn't bolted to the floor properly. That forklift driver has one hell of a lawsuit on his hands. Whale penis leather for him!

@ naas/ Closet Nerd

The worst part is I only got to use it once, and the even worse part than that is... that one time was utterly awesome. $70 and a weeks worth of checking the post (which I never do)... all wasted.

A lot of fist shaking and day rueing were done that week.

@15
The one on right was probably fired, then sued by the one on the left.

@14 Thats ridiculous to say and uncalled for

Looks like he could have used some more training! I just found a game that actually teaches forklift safety. It looks pretty neat: http://www.etceteraedutainment.com/forklift-safety.php

Epic Fail

Did anyone see that shadow morph out of the forklift jsut before he jumped the gun? creepy

O god I would have put my mouth to the floor and SUCKED!

so that's what happens when you work in a factory that sells VODKA

@66. That would be exhaust fumes.

this is what happens when you construct your crappy russian storage aisles out of balsa wood

@46 russia. thats where.
