Nah the worst is hitting a bolt or nut at speed and finding out about conservation of momentum when the thing instantly stops to a halt and you go flying over.

I think the guy in the background sees what's up and goes and hits that button

Which is probably what the person videoing it should do instead of videoing it?

Personally I'm a fan of the way they have nothing bracing the upright from that side, so the instant you start to slow down and go to brace on the handles it just bends right over and you go flying.

Maybe the person recording it had been told to stay in her/his lane at work and hey THAT is not my problem.

I briefly worked at a fairly large USPS distribution facility and I can completely see that happening there. You want someone to say something? Call my union rep.

But honestly we were all told that anyone could hit the stop button anytime and that there would never be any repercussions and lol no, there were. Even when it was warranted.

I am NOT defending the person who recorded it - I'm just saying that I can understand.

I've never done warehouse work which is probably why. Though even when I worked at Sears for a few months in high school I never saw someone do it but I barely went in the back where they were.

Retail warehouse work was great. All of the hazards of real warehouse work but none of the built in safety first mentality because you're just a funnel to get consumer products from trucks onto the floor.

Worked at a toy store in the mall, and unloading trucks required a lot of throwing boxes down hallways with zero regard for the products...since broken stuff went into a return pile. Later I worked in a smaller warehouse that supplied breakroom stuff to offices (lots of soda), and it was super unsafe. Ended up quitting after I ran over my foot with the pallet jack and was out of work for a few weeks without any kind of compensation and just had to move on with my life.

A past warehouse I worked not only let us ride them, but actually made us, as walking was too slow to meet your pick quotas. So was driving slow. If you didn't have the throttle wide open full speed the whole time, you also would never be able to make quota either, so no time to slow at crossings. You'd just kinda pray to god whoever was crossing the main run from a side run was at least with it enough to stop and look before blasting through full throttle.

When people inevitably got injured by this, did management just toss them in a pile out back and hire new ones?
