Warehouse Jenga

That escalated quickly
Buttlesays...

I wouldn't take a bet on whether the forklift driver survived, but the guy standing on the right hand side of the screen is pretty clearly buried -- if he made it was a miracle.

newtboysaid:

Doubtful, probably just buried for a few hours. Forklifts are tough.

newtboysays...

Maybe...I thought he's likely just been swept off his feet, but it's possible he got crushed. There's surprisingly little info about this to be found.

You're serious! Anybody that lost his feet in that shit died.

RFlaggsays...

Yeah, I saw something that suggested this was filmed in July, so you'd think there was more information. All the news I can find on it, just report about the "viral video", with no results on when and where for sure. You'd think that the company itself, or people there that day, would have seen it gone viral and put info out by now... though unless it was the company itself, it'd be harder to vet.

I'd wager the driver was okay in the cage, might have broke a bone or two, but otherwise was okay. The guy in yellow on the right would be the bigger concern, as he was buried. Near the very end you see somebody in black making a run across the far right as the last section collapses.

The crazy thing is, the shelf was barely hit. You probably hit it harder when putting pallets up. It must have been the perfect combo of angle and velocity, then add to that the tension on the legs given the way it was stacked and voila, disaster.

Imo if you are going to hint or call something snuff then go find the evidence/article for it instead of having others do it. At least Newtboy has taken the time to look into it.

reddit usually does a good job on finding additional info and so far not much to go on. Although i read it was originally posted to FB and i haven't looked at it their. https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/9yz3o9/forklift_driver_bumps_a_shelf_turns_entire/?st=jot095cm&sh=a8b520d7

Paybacksays...

He kind of jumps at the last second. I think he gets swept towards the camera. At the end of the clip, you can see an orange shirt in the bottom left moving right to left. I believe that was him.

According to an article on that Reddit thread, the driver didn't make it.
