[amboycapo]

[sonofazazel]

[JLFish21]

@sonofazazel i would have too.. accept i would have been stuck in the rubble because of the fact that we fire people for class A's on equipment lol, i bet they pointed that out haha and fired him for not having it on even though it saved his ass lol

Hi Jason,

I thought that you would like this video. Be careful on those forklifts!!

[Love2makeUcrazy]

Better grab a snicker!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jbenny1277748]

It was not straight to begin with, the wood was turned on an angle. That sucks.

[MrTEZ850]

That dumbass was suppose to raise the load in that tight space

[gunoverheating]

you firedddddddddddddddddddddddddd­dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd­ddddddddddddddddddd and no compensation for you ahahahahaha

[mcs7738]

woops!

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

DAMN!!! that was so close for that guy...

[cybermatrix24]

This is why you shouldn't shop at Home Depot.........Lowes is way better anyways!!!! Home Depot has killed dozens of customers in their stores.

[ScottX6945]

I work for Home Depot and this isn't even close to Home Depot. I don't even think this is a DC. Racking for HD is the same everywhere and it's not even close in this video! The driver should have slowed his ass down but I give him credit for hauling ass away from the fall.....

[slowvert92]

i install this rack for a living. and the only possible way for that to happen is if the feet on those uprights were not anchored to the ground. thats the only option. each beam level can support over a ton of weight. this guy wasnt that smart but. it was not his fault

[calgaryflame08]

its not the operators fault if only those shelving units were built the right way.,the shelving should be able to stand a certain amount of force by code., if i was this man,''lawsuit'' for improper building storage shelf code violation''.

[ufa28]

wanna get away?hahahahahahahahah ohh mayne if dat was me i would've fake my injury jus to get away at dat moment lol

[kingtheking01]

and how can the high-rack be crushed this fast by such a little contact? is there to much weight stacked into it? was it damaged before? how about the freight lying in the way making it nearly impossible to pass without hitting something? i saw forklifts weighing about 6-7 tons crashing into nearly the same high-racks much more aggressive at work and they did not really damage it (but there wasnt that much heavy freight in it). i feel really sad for the forklift operator to be that unlucky :/

[thecoldwar]

i'd say it had to do with the speed and the fact that he did not stop AT ALL when he hit the beam. Even with little contact you'll see those beams dent like nothing.

[dski1]

@kingtheking01 you lawyer you haha.

[kingtheking01]

how can a seatbelt save somebody in a situation like that? its just luck not to get hit by something no matter if hes inside or outside the forklift. how about wearing a seatbelt if you have to pop it off and on every 2mins to get off and on the forklift to do your job? how many of you "specialists" were in situations were thing fell out the high rack on you? how about things like "poles" to safe that rack from getting hit by a forklift weighing several tons?

[shamrock17100]

Also looking at how quick he got out of the forklift there is no way he was wearing his seatbelt. A HUGE mistake and another terminable offense in its own!

[NWforager]

@shamrock17100 . 'leaning away from the impact' refers to a tipping forklift. I've seen my share of mangled overhead guards . You likely right about dude not having his belt on but most operators are very fast at popping that belt button without even looking . I'm sure there is a good ton of stuff piled on the seat where he would have been . I'd happily be alive to take the write-up for no seat belt and the accident over maimed in the seat.

[dski1]

@shamrock17100 nah i work at home depot and i can take my seatbelt off in a less than a nano second

[shamrock17100]

I used to work at Lowe's and only had an order picker license but even I know that you absolutely do not get out of the forklift. DJKURSE1 is spot on, you NEVER get out of the forklift you stay buckled in and you lean away from the impact. That guy is damn lucky he didn't get hit with a beam or any debris. I know with a reach truck he could have at least lifted the forks and possibly have cleared but you don't use that for the material he was moving. He probably is out of a job though.

[Frick34]

i work packdown at home depot. #550 and thats insane.. id shit myself

[dojufitz]

BTW - not enough space between shelves and stock on floor - barely able to pass thru if you look.

That is why they paint lines on the floors in dcs.

[IKILLBUST3RS]

dam that was crazy it wasn't the forklift operator, but the store and the contractors who set up these bays fault. i do resets and set up depots and i always see forklift drivers hitting uprights and beams but i could bet that who ever set up this particular store didn't even anchor down the uprights. if i was that forklift driver i would sue the depot for putting me in unsafe and hazardous work conditions ;)

[nwalmooz]

I like forklifts.... but not this one. EVIL!

[JackDrinkn2DollarJim]

OSHA would have been all over this place like Batman on the Joker long before this happened. The place looked almost the same after the fall as it did before.

[djkurse1]

damn! YOU DO NOT GET OUT OF THE FORKLIFT. You stay in there, did you see how quickly he got out of there; he was not even buckled in. Even in the event te forklift tips you brace and lean away from the impact, it evens says it on the forklift. Good thing he appeared to be OK in the vid. Our racks here are not that high, in some places 4 shelves and that's it....

[ben83n]

i bet he got fired

[whiterabit998]

who ever engineered that shelf outta be back handed........

i mean one hit and it causes a domino effect??

[datsun16]

keep your pallet strait bandakoot!

[whoopiiiiie]

its just a warehouse were they keep the merchandise when they need to restock or send out in the mail to people.

[zabdalla1988]

this def aint a store i wrk at home depot those racks r 2 high its prob a distribution center...nd he could have jus lifted that load up so it would clear those stacks he got wut he deserved

[Astinsan]

It isn't a home depot. Home depot doesn't have bulk aggregate bags (the sacks on those pallets). Home depot has fully boxed shelves. These are clearly not. Home depot doesn't have 55 gallon drums of anything. If it were a home depot store or dc the same thing would happen with the shelf but it wouldn't cascade like this one did. All shelf supports are bolted together unlike these. It would stop after a few fall. The racks can be 20' tall in the HD. Color is orange, tan and white. No others.

[EECIEI]

yeah home depot has been sued enough times to not takes any chances

[b0bism]

I agree about it being a DC no store would have a layout like that not even in receiving

[EECIEI]

ive been at the depot for 3 years : ( i hate it but we know whats up!

[kmksubled]

Run or die!!!!!!! lol . it dont look like he hit it very hard but im sure he had to of slamed it good to get that much destruction .

[Astinsan]

I think I would of yelled a expletive then get crushed.

[TFCTalent]

Special on Scratch n' Dent items this weekend!

[darkkraziboi]

EPIC PHAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[43tjl]

what ever store this is its a fuckin pigsty how would you expect anyone to be able to safely operate any equipment in this dump!

[mezzedup1]

This is a home depot P5 store. This was more than likely here and I'd be willing to bet that this moron was new to the fork lift. I drive forklift and I would've raised to the load above the 5gallon buckets for clearance. Oh well, clearance sale I guess!!!

[BigJRock1]

hahaha, no wonder why everything i buy from home depot is broken or lasts a day and then breaks.

[My96XJ]

my guess this was not in the states mexico maybe

[volimcevape]

lmao i bet he didnt stop running until he was on the other end of the building.

[twilightwolf213c]

This is acctually a lowes RDC i think

[Z71CherryBomb]

lmao holy fuck, dude was like a world class sprinter. Fuck he was gone off the screen instantly

[mickeyOd]

Yeah, Im gonna agree... I work at the depot and it looks nothing like it. Take my word... Ive seen many depots in 10 f'ing years...

[Puhleeeze]

That's looks suspicious as hell. I've installed many of these type of storage racks and never in my entire life have I seen these racks fall apart like that so quickly. What the hell did they store on the shelves, automobiles?!?!

[knut]

Definitely not Home depot. Shelving is too tall and light duty. The shelving at HD is strong. I have personally knocked into it with harder stuff than wood and at a higher speed and anything has yet to collapse.

[daddioofthree]

got his seatbelt off awfully fast. ya right it wasn't on which actually saved his ass

[mpwelk]

@daddioofthree Depot handbook states that you "ride it out" if you're on that type of machine. If you're on a reach truck, then you're supposed to run. I must say I'd rather have my seatbelt on in case of a tipover, instead of off in fear of something like this happening.

[djrocknjon]

that is not home depot

[KHobbs21]

lol ya'll are stupid...I work for Home depot and this is NOT a home depot where this happened at. just cuz it's orange shelving doesn't make it home depot.....I had a meeting today and this was brought up because everyone kept saying it was a home depot, but everyone confirmed it wasn't.

[cybermatrix24]

That's why Lowes is so much better than Home Depot!!!!!!!!!!!

[yeatruestory]

not a home depot but soo epic

life became the matrix for him

[cybermatrix24]

Yes it is....how would you know anyways

[yeatruestory]

i work at home depot playboy lol i think i would know how it looks

[hagadizle]

I gotta say these are the funniest comments i have seen with a video in a long time. This will always bring a laugh.

[plm97531]

home depot suck, its all about Lowe's

[Dubbz92]

Where was his spotters???

[rlsksi]

See Darryl driving a forklift

See Darryl in a hurry

See Darryl sometimes having problems with spatial relationships

See Darryl bump the lumber yard storage racks

See Darryl jump and run

Run Darryl, Run!

See Darryls lawyer suing Home Depot for mental anguish due to greedy corporate usage of faulty storage racks and wrongful termination!

Sue Darryl, Sue!

See Darryl living in the Bahamas now!

[AmysSkateCareer]

holy fuck man. I work at costco so this is pretty hardcore for me. forklifts everyday

[Dionne70]

I work for Home Depot and this is not a Home Depot. Not even close to being Home Depot. Very Scary though. I operate a forklift everyday at Home Depot. This is a eye opening video.

[100redeye]

close call indeed.......... close call indeed

[apostledesign]

Amazing Video!! That is one of the huge reasons for video surveillance (liability & shortages). This is not a Home Depot. It looks like a logisical company to me (shipping and recieving). I say that the shelving must not have been installed properly for such a catastophe to happen.

Thank you for posting this Great Video!!

[acuraofpinole]

Probably was not bolted to the floor. The racks strength is vertical, not lateral.

[lustmolten]

He got off that lift truck awfully fast like he had either done this or saw this happen before. BTW if this did happen in Canada there probably isn't such a thing as an OSHA there because outside of maybe lost work time there are no medical expenses to dish out (it all comes from taxes) therefore probably no huge liability suits to contend with.

[stasicki1973]

Słabe i delikatne regały. Operator nawet nie ściął słupa. Na naszym magazynie jak i pewnie na większości, zdarzyło się delikatne potrącenie regałów. Nigdy z takim skutkiem!!! Kpina ! Regały tego producenta nie stoją stabilnie. Mamy 9 metrowe słupy, w ramach reklamacji serwis zawitał już u nas 4 razy!!! Błędy konstrukcyjne jak i montażowe! Rok temu kupiliśmy regały od tej firmy. Zdecydowanie to było ostatni raz!!! Producent MECALUX

[DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey3]

Hmm...those shelves can take a shitload of abuse. When we hit them at Lowes, we usually only have to replace one beam or upright. If they fell down like that (not to mention the 2nd row over also coming down) then someone was negligent in maintenance as well as the driving.

[mkoontz30]

I agree. I work at Lowe's as well and I don't think our units would collapse like that given the hoopla that happens when we barely bump one.

[stelltech]

I work for HD and I have hit a few things in my day, but whoever you are on the forklift, YOUR MY HERO!!!!!

[thedude213]

The way that place is laid out it looks more like a distribution warehouse for surrounding home depots, not the actual retail warehouse, funny as hell though.

[WardenWolf]

Hope that forklift operator sued for endangerment. Those shelves should never have collapsed from such a minor bump. They were clearly inadquate for how they were employed.

[popcur]

He left to fly Southwest Airlines lol

[atwyatt]

LOL

[reyna411]

he was clearly Canadian

[goqsane]

as if Americans were that clever. Tell you what, you are both the biggest idiots this planet had to bear.

[crakrjack]

Actually Reyna411 was correct, This happened in an Ontario warehouse. I don't expect you'll apologize though.

[micbar858585]

what a diference btw US and Canadians ?? it's only the company managment/owners fault!!!

[Legalize420NOW]

@crakrjack well somebody hates americans eh? haha

[Jthebig90]

@goqsane lol what a moron!! *points and laughs*

[khobombed]

That dude ran all the way back to Mexico!

[NyJoeC]

if that was a sales floor of homedepot god that store is in need of a cleaning look at all that shit i work at lowes even if that reciving it was a mess they would have my ass at lowes for a department that dirty

[sevirous]

a jak spierdalał XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD haha

[migmajorialiti]

a Ty bys trzymał połki?

[strumpeteer]

Regardless if it's his fault or not, that place is one mass suicide event waiting to happen! I mean, knocking one leg causing nearly half of the warehouse to collapse is just ridiculous.

[killercrush09]

what an idiot, but nice reaction though, he ran like hell

[lankthetank1]

That was awesome

[smoothevan]

Had the driver lifted the lumber he was carrying higher than the black barrels, he could have squeezed through there with no prob. Those racks did look precariously high though...
