Near-accident at club/warehouse store

Hey peeps.

Uploading this video 'cause I think everyone should be aware of the dangers found in warehouse stores.
This happened at a club membership/wholesale club type of place, much like BJ's, Sam's Club or Costco.

Anyways, the point is to be aware of where you are walking, five people were directly under those pallets as they fell and they could have been seriously injured, or worse - they could have been killed.

What you see falling is the top two pallets of CapriSun juice from a 3-pallet stack. The bottom stack had damaged boxes that led to the top pallets leaning, after which gravity did the rest. No forklift driver caused this accident, the pallets fell on their own!

So once again, be careful. This could happen to anyone in any of the warehouse stores, as I've noticed they all have similar mechandising/stacking procedures.

what idiots the sams club i work at if they are putting up stock the block the next lane lol in this case they didnt think and didnt do so lol

you're not quite getting the picture here. nobody was involved in this. that merchandise had been stacked there days before and fell all on its own because a box gave way under the high load...that's even worse i think!

@billykane32 LOL

What a greedy customer. Does he really need all that capri sun on his flatbed? I know you go to wholesale clubs to buy in bulk, but leave some Capri-Sun for other customers to buy. 3 pallets worth is enough.

ok first off I have worked for sams for three yrs secuity cameras which this is being recorded off of you can tell from the monitor securtiy systems at warehouses dont have any sound

I work for costco. they arent supposed to stock items like that. they should have been on the steel not stacked like that. the idiots who did this should be fired

@trojannemo I work for the company and from experience I do know that a forklift was involved. Do you hear that beeping? that is the forklifts on the other side trying to pick up a pallet. And apparently they are dumb at that club and don't know how to block the next aisle off and how to drive a forklift. It is company policy to block both aisles off.

sometimes the stockers dont wrap the things correctly either, that happened at my workplace once, thank lord it was a tv and it only fell on the lane under it and didn't bring anything with it.
