Damn, beat me by an hour.

Guy at the end got out of the way of that fork lift none too soon

At first it was funny to watch some of the passengers try to gain footing and fail repeatedly. Then I put myself in their shoes and I realized how scary this would really be. Albeit scary in one of those "WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO" thrill ride type of ways.

Damn don't they bolt anything down?

Or on a plane? Or in a car? Pfft. Cruising is the shit.

They should build a safety feature - at least in these rooms with lots of movable dangerous objects.

e.g. something that launches a heavy net from the ceiling to hold everything to the ground.

You can't stop heavy seas, but you can prepare to keep people safe so they aren't flying 20 feet into a table leg.

I have seen a few of these rough sea videos and as the bar furniture slides around and people fall over and dodge shit, I'm amused and think "wow, thats looks scary". Then this video shows the industrial part of the ship with forklifts and cages and metal cabinets sliding around!! That is some deadly debri, very scary.
Then I remember the lady faceplanting on the pole At 48 sec, and I'm amused again. Good vid.

NEEDS MORE JEDI.

Hey, it's it's kinda like the scene from Wall-e!
It's like watching seals slide around on ice.

Hey guys. Your on a ship. How about you nail some of that shit to the deck hmmk.

Yeah seriously, why don't these idiots lock stuff down more often? Especially if they're going into a hurricane or something, whatever happened to batten down the hatches and all that? I mean that guy down in the equipment area at least knew to get the fork outta the way, or outta the way of the fork.
Oh yeah, up vote for the lady and pole action, although I do feel bad for taking amusement in it, kinda.

From here the pattern doesn't look too hard to grasp... first things go one way, then they'll come back the other.

I understand its VERY different when you're there and shits flying around, but some of those folks looked very surprised over and over, and a couple just turtled during the lulls instead of bracing for the next swing. Trains and Boats are out to get you! Keep you're head on a swivel!

OUCH - she got CONKED at 0:53. Damn.

My first boat in the Navy was a cruiser. A bunch of us showed up around the same time just before going underway for 5 months. We hit some rough waters in the North Cali/Southern Oregon region that tossed around good. Everything is bolted down, but strings had to be tied to the table to keep the salt, pepper, napkins, etc on the table.

It was interesting. When walking down a p-way (hallway), you would be walking normally with the exception that you were walking on the floor, then the right wall, floor, left wall, 'rinse and repeat'.

Just the normal vertical change could be quite drastic. We were taught to walk through doors and not jump despite the urge (most doors were water tight hatches that had a good foot lip on the bottom.) One of the new people jumped through one... the ship when down... and he knocked himself with the forehead/steel contact. But it was fun too. If you jumped at the right time and aimed a little, you could shoot up a floor (through hatch) as the boat went down and you hung in the air. Had to be a little careful having wide shoulders, but still fun.

My wife and I got the Carnival Destiny rocking like this on our wedding cruise.

This is such an easy fix...electro magnets under the floor with metal bottom'd tables and chairs. Have an emergency bottom that triggers the magnets. Sure you might get some people pinned with their cheap jewelry but at least they won't roll around.

Easier fix, the duty officer stops banging the female servers and turns the ship INTO the waves.

The easy fix involves electromagnets in the floors? Can't say I'm surprised this is still a problem then.

Bolt + Table + Floor = Problem Solved. The chairs would still move around, but they'd hit into the tables like Plinko chips, and that would be even more fun to watch.>> ^Yogi:

I don't understand why the industrial section of the ship is not secured. I can understand the forklift not being secured...but big metal cabinets and cages? I mean I doubt they are moving that shit around during the cruise...they might unload it when they dock at which time they can release them.

The tables and chairs....that could be turned into a dance floor maybe, so I can understand not wanting a bunch of holes in the floors and mounted tables/chairs. However, there was only maybe 2 people I saw on the video that looked like they were crew and looked like they had any experience with how to handle that situation...by which I mean they seemed to have "sea legs" and didn't stumble around and braced when appropriate. So given there's a general lack of experience when things get bad, you'd think they would focus more on making sure things were bolted down and when appropriate have smaller sections where stuff couldn't move as much and people could actually get from one wall to another before the ship tilted back.

Wonder if anyone died during this, it'd be pretty easy to crack your head on a counter top. I mean it's nice to see a fancy boat and all, but I think you could give up a little to not have your face bashed in on a pole when the boat begins to rock.

Im really suprised no one got killed considering all the crap flying around.

Heres the news story.

Hey Bob, ease up on the floor wax next time eh?

Was "sailing" changed to "inception" changed it back, since people were so happy about the old one. I guess mine wasn't really a dupe then.

If you think about it, that idea is really bad.

- the logistics of suspending a net above a very large room - including support pillars (so it'd have to be lots of nets or a huge net that's made around the pillars with holes for the pillars)
- never mind a HEAVY net, and the weight of the net on these sophisticated pieces of "dropping" mechanisms
- you'd have an ugly "heavy" net hanging over a dining room
- which would then drop in a storm trapping furniture AND PEOPLE
- power failure = heavy net falling on people?
- general mishaps with a heavy net suspended above people?
- the cost of getting sued by people getting hit by a heavy net?
- you'd have to have loads of release mechanisms to go at the same time to release said net
- you can't have anything upstanding/on the walls which would catch the net and stop the full release
- you'd have to trigger it whilst very stable otherwise the net would fall incorrectly/warp in the air
- the net would need to be pinioned at various places in the room otherwise things would just slide around under it because there's no tension to keep things held in place even if they got caught

- and if you're referring to the fork lift truck, i'd like to see the net that could stop a fork lift from sliding around a floor which suddenly becomes a wall assuming all the other problems listed were overcome. THAT would be a net hooper and chief brody would have wanted.

The simplest solution is industrial eyelets on walls and columns around the ship and strong straps attached to unmoored objects. You can leave things unstrapped until signs of bad weather, and strap them to the eyelets when seas get rough. In other words, like someone said above "batten down the hatches".

Jesus Christ! Seriously, secure all missile hazards, please!

I remember at one point my ship being a few degrees shy of its capsizing point, which is when the mast is supposed to break off to rescue the ship from actually capsizing. People were sliding along the deck, but everything was secured with either bolts or ropes, so there were no missile hazards. Pac Sun seems like a floating liability, to be honest.

I don't understand why the people in the big room don't run for the hallways or smaller rooms, there's a lot less stuff sliding around in the hallway. You even see people in the back room still sitting.

I love physics.

Holy shit. This is no joke! Forklifts are not light. Wow.

Gross. Nobody wants to hear about old people fuckin'.

Reminds me of that episode of Deadliest Catch where they get hit by a rogue wave. Some chick's elbow went straight through a cabinet.

@dannym3141 lol... ok granted. Maybe giant ceiling net has some "issues" as a safety device. But some kind of safety strategy would seem to be responsible.

Even the staff seem to subscribe to the "fly around wildly and get hit in the face with a table leg".
Something along the lines of: "In rough seas, please make your way to the safety bay and hold on to the Tether wall".

Also...I don't subscribe to the "Better not, we'll get sued" It's like suing the car rental company because when you crashed, the airbag hit you in the face.

This isn't a cruise ship at all... It's the Aperture Science building when they were beta testing the Gravity Gun.

@raverman no no i don't mean i'd do it - i actually got injured at work through the manager's negligence, which forced me to quit the job, but i refused to take action against them because it made me feel like a dirty ambulance chaser. I don't agree with it, but people WILL do it.

You're forgetting one very important thing about human nature which is especially true of those folks who enjoy cruises.

People are stupid.

I'm sure they do but that clip wouldn't have made it to # 1... Hahaha

For the amusement of any who didn't read the full news report linked above:

"The company had arranged travel and accommodation for waiting family and friends, and was offering passengers 25 per cent off the price of any future cruise they took."
