*eia ?
Wtf is he doing standing on the top rail of a ladder on a wet floor ?
Guys lucky he didnt neck himself.

Invocations (eia) cannot be called by charliem because charliem is not privileged - sorry.

First thing I would do is try to direct that water out the goddamn bay doors and away from all the palleted product.

Wipeout!

Looks like the back room of a Target to me.

whats worse is no one holds the damned ladder for him.

I take it back any one that was associated with him ... could have gotten hurt... this guy should be fired.

Apparently Target thinks it is cheaper to pay for these accidents than improve the quality of their employees either through training or pay grade.

I've had something similar to this happen to me (I didn't break the sprinkler, someone else did), but I had the common sense enough to shut off the water main. Everyone else took off running because the sprinklers hiss for a bit until the water can be properly primed through them, so everyone thought it was a gas leak.

Upvote for him grabbing the small ladder and contemplating whether or not that would do the trick to get him up there. LOL.

you can bet your balls he's fired now. Poor guy just HAD to give it on last twist too :-D

Ya gotta give him props for the catch on the fall though.

Ass

That punch into the pallet = "Fuck I'm fired." Then he strolls away. "Oh well."

I work in a huge distribution warehouse. We had some contractors running fiber optic cabling for us a couple of years ago and one of their guys accidentally broke off a sprinkler head. I seem to recall that they said it was only his 2nd or 3rd day on the job. He was about 40ft up in the air on a mechanical lift, so when he broke the sprinkler he got drenched for a good 30-40 secs while he lowered the lift. The water that comes out of those pipes is absolutely nasty.

"Open the pod bay doors HAL."

I think someone is both retarded and not trained properly. I also work in a distrubtion warehouse for Maple Leaf Foods. There's sprinkler lines, ammonia pipes, incoming and outgoing waterlines, you name it. The first thing I was shown when I got my Narrow Aisle Stacker license was the emergency sprinkler shut off valves. In case you break one, you run to this room by the take-off belts and shut off three valves which will stop the water from doing, well, what we all just saw.

Whatever possessed him to screw with anything AFTER he got it shut down? I call employee sabotage.

A friend of mine did this exact thing last week. He hit the sprinkler with a forklift and flooded the warehouse.

looks like intentional to me. first he raises the forklift for no apparent reason, then -after- successfully shutting the water off he continues to break off the head. pink slip.

3½ minutes for that?? Ultimate failure my ass... this is wasting space on the top 15.

^ hence why this:

would be appropriate

gawd.

that's a bad day at work.

at least he stuck the landing!

My question... why didn't he just leave the damn thing once he stopped the water the first time?

There... done, water isn't coming out any more... oh, wait, if I just wiggle this... .OH SHIT!

But as many others have said, that's what shut off valves are for.

Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty.... Or is it the other way around?

Many jurisdictions require chaining and/or locking sprinkler valves in order to keep idiots from turning them off when there is valid reason for water to be flowing.
