Alright since this was quoted on the last page and I haven't seen anybody precise it, this is a plastic pallet with a cardboard storage display. The pallet is 40"x48", a quick google nets a weight of 30lb but this seems a bit high from experience (I've been working in large retail surfaces for 10+ years). It can hurt and cause small cuts if it falls just right on your foot, but this is no CHEP or EUROPE wood pallet which can crush tissue. The cardboard display will be an annoyance at worst if it falls. It was probably forgotten there which is pretty stupid in itself but it's no real danger. Also the general mill's cereal boxes won't let go, you can basically stack full wood pallets of the drat things if they are whole and square, at least 3 high. Now what I should have take pictures of back in the days, was full pallets of 2l coke plastic bottles or cases of 24 packs of beer stacked 3 high (a full pallet is 12 per row x 7 high, comes higher than your shoulder) which was pretty loving dangerous. I do like that they used empty cardboard trays of cereal boxes to make sure the pallet was propped up perfectly horizontally. A nice touch.

That said however I would have not run with the direction that the container was falling, I would have gone towards the rear of the truck, out of the way.

The cardboard display will be an annoyance at worst if it falls. I work with that exact pallet and they have "Tare Wt 19 Lbs" stamped into all of them, so yeah 30 pounds is a bit excessive. I'm still going to have to side with the nearly universal industry practice of firing employees who leave pallets leaning/stacked on things though. That pallet weighs about twice as much as a gallon paint can, which if you dropped on your foot from 3-4 feet off the ground you would expect to be in a cast the next day. Plus, the retail space has different rules because customers (and their children) aren't expected to concentrate on safety issues around them while shopping. That's why you can go hooning around the loading dock on a forklift but need to travel at a walking speed with a spotter when out on the sales floor.

A tile blade is barely a "blade" at all. It's basically an abrasive disc. I'm not saying it's safe to cut near your foot like that, but if he catches his foot he'll probably only get a nasty cut and maybe nick a bone, rather than slicing instantly through his foot like you might imagine. Basically something like this, only a little bigger:

It's not quite the same thing, but I've definitely slipped and ground my finger with diamond Dremel bits and all you really get is a little friction burn. If I did the same with a coarse carving burr the flesh there would just ~go away~

Say Nothing posted:Yeah, my brother worked a temp job on a wharf and workers had to be in a 'bunker' type building before unloading started. thats kind of overkill for container handling. the main ways that people get killed at container handling facilities are: 1) running into a chassis(the thing that boxes sit on) and taking a steel beam to the grill 2) getting hit by a piece of yard equipment(jockey truck, container lift) or an outside driver getting mashed by a container is exceedingly rare because of work rules/training/proper supervision and, at some locations, technology that physically prevents a container from passing over properly equipped vehicles or certain areas on the ground. high winds and empty containers are always a risk but work rules generally prohibit working during periods of high winds.

And so it would be stacked on the floor of the backroom right in front of the full, 3 level racking of pop, typically reaching about 5-6 full pallets tall. I was always morbidly curious about what the PSI of pressure on the bottom set of cans must have been and what they can hold before crumpling. I also recall seeing pallets of softener salt stored in the very top of 3 level racking, and at roughly 2,000 lbs. I imagine if that fell on you you'd either die instantly or wish you had.

I've always wondered what happened after that. Do they write everything off as lost? Do they have some guys sort out the destroyed stuff from the damaged stuff from the "we can still sell it" stuff? How long did it take them to dig the driver out? I worked for a automotive supply warehouse briefly, and virtually every box/crate/pallet there weighed a goddamn ton and it looked very similar to that gif, aside from the collapse anyway.
