Cheese factory in England. He was fine, took eight hours to dig him out according to story.

Older story I guess, but I just ran across it. Can you imagine if stern stacked machines like that, and that happened? People would lose their minds!

That would take around 4 days to cleanup. Separating damaged boxes from good ones. Re stacking and re-wrapping the pallets. Then possibly weeks to get a better designed rack system, delivered and installed.

Thanks for clearing that up because I felt sick when I saw the video, thought there was no way that dude lived.
Wow, total domino effect. Did he get fired? I'd definitely be hunting for a new job after that. I took out a overhead door with a forklift at a pipeyard i ran once and felt like a total moron. Couldn't find a new job fast enough.
At our flooring store, we have a 10' steel pole attachment to pick up rolls of carpet or vinyl. About 12 years ago, I put it thru an installers back window while getting him loaded. It was February in Colorado, and his heater was broken. It wasn't a good day. Haven't had an issue since!
Quoted from Ericc123:I really want to say fake but I'm not sure.
FAKE!!
I wonder what OSHA (or the British equivalent) would say...
This might actually have been a lesser disaster at Stern. Cheese is fairly dense and boxed pinballs contain a lot of empty space, so I’d bet a pinball box-sized volume of cheese (yummy) is significantly heavier than a pinball machine. If those shelves had been stacked with pins, they might have been more stable and more resistant to being obliterated by a fairly innocent looking forklift blunder.
Happy the guy is OK, but the poor bastard is never going to live this one down!
Quoted from rotordave:Every time I see a forklift vid, I think of Klaus.
Probably NSFW. Watch till the end.

And the moral of that video is....don’t let women on the factory floor.......
