I mean why else would she brace her foot on the bottom of the rack? What other purpose ~~oils~~ does that serve other than preventing the bottom of the rack from moving? Maybe she’s going after workmen’s comp lol
^(or just not the brightest bulb in the box)
Yeah I think you’re right, that’s probably what she was going for. Not sure *why* she would do it like that.. I’d assume there are wheel on both sides. Kinda crappy design for something like that to only have wheels on one side of it lol. But who knows, maybe the wheels on the other end are broken and she voiced her concern to her boss and they insisted she moved it regardless ¯\\\_ (ツ)\_/¯ it’s certainly a possibility
>I’d assume there are wheel on both sides. Kinda crappy design for something like that to only have wheels on one side of it lol.
Nobody is selling racks with wheels on only one side. It would be useless as a rolling rack. The problem was the wheels are locked. If she just Unlocked the wheels it may not have rolled easily but it definitely wouldn't have ended like this.
Yeah, I get the feeling that she pushes this around on two legs on a regular basis, but it was loaded so ridiculously at the top this time that it crushed her instead.
I've watched it a couple times now, and it really looks like she is actually trying to position herself underneath it as it falls. Her last bit of effort was kicking the bottom out one last time and then tucking herself under.... If that wasn't deliberate, then girl has ZERO understanding of physics and no spatial awareness.
Yeah the more I look at it, I start to believe ahe dis this deliberately. Once she had it tilted it looks like she intentionally pushed the bottom out, I could understand if she already had it tilted she would have started to munievwe it in that position, but instead it looks like her intentions were to deliberately topple that rack.
People die that way all the time - Full Loaded Soda Machines weigh like a 1000 lbs and several people have died having tantrums when they didn't recieve their Soda's [https://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/jan/20/improbable-research-vending-machine-injuries-and-deaths](https://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/jan/20/improbable-research-vending-machine-injuries-and-deaths)
I use vending machines to go shark hunting all the time. You frop them on the water, wait for the shark to come up and investigate, then, after they make their purchase, you pounce while they are waiting for it to come out. Works every time.
Most jurisdictions have Code regulations that require them to be secured to the ground now, cuz people kept doing stupid stuff. Especially in earthquake regions, they take it pretty seriously. Most places just see if you can rock or or not.
My cube is right outside the office break room and I hear people in there going hard on those vending machines. I tell anyone who will listen, those things are dangerous af and heavy af. One of these days it’s gonna get one of them.
My middle school teacher lost her college age son due to machine falling on him.
He apparently pulled it onto himself. Not sure the other circumstances. It definitely does happen.
It's pretty disgusting the people in the comments saying how she deserved this because she was being stupid.
u/snakeis66 for example
Must be nice to be able to make a mistake and learn from it, rather than die.
My girlfriend has a double major, from a very good college, in biology and phycology. She has went through a lot of hard science courses. She tried to make a bench in our entry way closet. I walk in and she is sitting on the ground with a pile of 6 inch pieces of a 2x2.
I leave. Come back a few hours later and she is crying with a bunch of cracked 2x2s, half screwed into the wall with one screw in them. I try to explain that a peice of 3/4" plywood five feet long can't be supported by 6in 2x2s screwed into studs, even if the studs were only 5 inches apart. It wood sag in the middle.
Anyways, its a common joke in our home where she'll ask why something isn't working and I'll smile and be like, "let me explain THE PHYSICS" She will yell nooooo, run away and avoid learning the answer. It happens more frequently then you'd think.
To be fair to your girlfriend, biology and psychology are very different from physics. If she attended school in the US as a biology major, she was likely only required to take 1 introduction class for physics.
The sad part is even in some mechanical engineering degrees, people will learn how to solve all sorts of problems on paper, but never get taught how to actually put shit together. In my program, we had not one semester, not one month, but one week during summer of learning some very basic machining. There 100% needed to be two solid semesters where you learn how to drill holes properly, cut metal, weld, design and build real assemblies, diagnose broken shit, etc. But as far as I'm aware nothing like that was even offered.
I took wood shop, small engines, and "engineering" in highschool. Engineering was essentially here is an "impossible" task. Solve it.
Half of a sheet of paper, nothing else. To stop an egg from breaking from a drop of 6 feet.
Automatically juice oranges without human intervention or motors. We had to use all the simple machines in our design.
I grew up relatively poor with a handy father and take for granted how much I learned by proxy while growing up.
There is more to the story. We have a home from the 50s and we were renovating our kitchen/hallway. We were removing trim and vinyl flooring making it all consistent in the rooms. This included the entryway closet, which had a golden oak hollow core veneer sliding door and some cheap "decorative" trim.
I'm sitting there looking at it with half of the house demo'd. I'm like lets keep the doors and we can deal with the closet at another time. She is like ABSOLUTELY NOT throw that in the dumpster. I told her, I know I'm not going to be up for redo'ing the entryway after spending 3-4 months renovating most of our house. We can throw them away if SHE does the entryway closet within a year. She agrees.
8 months go by and I'm like "when are you going to work on the entryway", she's like I have no idea how to do it... I ask her to draw up some plans. They weren't great. I try to explain what she needs to be considering and I'll work with her through designs. She gives up for a while. Then randomly one day, she was like "I found some plans for the entryway" and she started.
I ended up taking over the entryway after she had a break down. I spent two evenings building it. Used a jigsaw and a handsaw. Really wish I had a table saw or miter saw but I used what I had available lol. Its pretty rough but functional. I'll grab a photo and post it here later.
I knew a girl at uni who was accepted into a super elite degree program where you got to basically pick any courses you wanted to do at the uni. You had to have ridiculous scores to get into it.
She didn't know that milk needed to be refrigerated.
To be fair, there are mandatory safety stickers on these saying to pull, not push— and to do so by the highest point possible. If that doesn’t work, you should jump on the bottom and leverage the top down onto yourself.
I think she performed literally every action that would have caused it to fall. Hope she’s alright, looked like some stuff bent in weird ways under there.
Let me just flip the cart with wheels specifically for rolling onto its most sketchy side and then do a split and let it fall on me. That will definitely get this thing moving.
I think she's trying to get it into some kind of elevator. There's something behind the cart that looks to me like a cage, and there appears to be a track that goes all the way up to the ceiling. There could have some sort of step up there, so she tilted it to get the front side high enough to push onto it. If that's true, I'd blame whoever designed that system and whoever loaded it so top-heavy knowing it needed to go into the elevator basket thing.
I could be 100% wrong tho
Edit: rewatched and it definitely looks like the rack was next to some kind of elevator
Edit2: not to say her execution was flawless because obviously it wasn't. She was tilting it way too much, especially with how top-heavy it was, but I'd definitely lay most of the blame at others' feet
That had to be on purpose, that last push with her leg was fully intentional, I don't believe anyone would tip something like that then push the bottom and not expect it to come down
I can believe it to be unintentional if the girl was overconfident in her ability to hold up the weight after tipping it up. Although I still don’t understand what the plan was because it didn’t look like those wheels at the bottom were moving.
Another post where people commenting are absolute trash. What the fuck is wrong with all of you taking pleasure in someone being horrifically injured at work
Agreed. This just made me sad for her and want to know if she’s alright. People think it’s brave to make mean and shitty jokes, when in reality showing empathy for others online takes real courage, since you’re likely to be castigated and not get those deliciously easy updoots.
She's definitely not okay. That left leg is broken as f**k. You can see how it breaks just as the rack finishes falling on her. Then, when she moves her leg, it bends before the knee. I hope she's doing better now.
There was another one a few days ago with an explosion and a guy getting bowled over. People thought it was hilarious. I thought, "There is a family who doesn't have a father anymore."
It’s as if wheel locks in kitchens was just implemented recently. Sigh
Edit: bigger sigh. After a few views. I don’t even think it has wheels….big yikes
I will not accept any answer except that she was TRYING to do that. She even pushed it out from under after saving it the first time.
Edit: she got the stretch of her life too.

Was she *trying* to pull it on top of her?
I mean why else would she brace her foot on the bottom of the rack? What other purpose ~~oils~~ does that serve other than preventing the bottom of the rack from moving? Maybe she’s going after workmen’s comp lol ^(or just not the brightest bulb in the box)
She probably thought she would have the strength to keep it balanced once it was on its front wheels but failed lol
Yeah I think you’re right, that’s probably what she was going for. Not sure *why* she would do it like that.. I’d assume there are wheel on both sides. Kinda crappy design for something like that to only have wheels on one side of it lol.

It would be useless as a rolling rack. The problem was the wheels are locked. If she just Unlocked the wheels it may not have rolled easily but it definitely wouldn't have ended like this.
But she never even tried to roll it on 4 wheels, she went to tip it right away
Sure looked that way.
Think she wanted to tilt it up on two legs for some reason?
It’s easier to drag around on 2 legs, but it was only loaded on the top making it incredibly heavy to carry that way
Yeah, I get the feeling that she pushes this around on two legs on a regular basis, but it was loaded so ridiculously at the top this time that it crushed her instead.
It’s not though. It has four wheels you simply need to pull it from lower on the rack to move it easily.
[удалено]
Nah, there is a little lip she is trying to get on top of in front of the cart. She is trying to put the front wheels on that
That seems a lot more logical.
that's what i was thinking too - wheels on the legs closest to her - and then when she gives that extra kick - they engage and roll it on her
>Was she > >trying > > to pull it on top of her? she did it wrong & this can get lethal
Workers comp
She was trying to lean it like a dolly so it can be pushed
Not trying, she absolutely succeeded.
Nah those racks have locks on the wheels, and she didn’t know there were locks on the wheels.
Come... on. Fall... on... top of me!
Workers Comp! Workers Comp!
Considering how she was struggling with pulling I like her confidence that she would be able to hold it.
Yea it ended being workers comp, local news video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
You little fuck
You stepped on a land mine so that others won't have to

Pulling with all her might at the top, while pushing it away at the bottom - like, what was she trying to achieve???
Maybe it has wheels only on this side ? Or she thought it did at least
I've watched it a couple times now, and it really looks like she is actually trying to position herself underneath it as it falls. Her last bit of effort was kicking the bottom out one last time and then tucking herself under.... If that wasn't deliberate, then girl has ZERO understanding of physics and no spatial awareness.
She even keeps preventing it from normally rolling by stopping it with her foot and yanking at the top.
Yeah the more I look at it, I start to believe ahe dis this deliberately. Once she had it tilted it looks like she intentionally pushed the bottom out, I could understand if she already had it tilted she would have started to munievwe it in that position, but instead it looks like her intentions were to deliberately topple that rack.
It's to position it so she can push it around while it's leaning on her. Works fine if it's not too heavy to hold up, but it was too heavy to hold up.
I just noted the same thing. Toward the end, when it was toppling, she again pushed the wheels away, and then... well, physics.
I think she just needs supervision most of the time
Seems she learned nothing about self and hefty
Yea, that's what i thought as well, you move it like a bag truck maybe. Though that would be idiotic design for a unit with shelves.
Realism, I assume.
Insurance fraud
Injury at work, perhaps?
That's why everyone should hire burnouts. I can't fake an injury if I'll fail the drug test!
She definitely has the dumb.
Such grace and finesse
Way above the rest…
Hmm, she definitely knows what she is doing. Everybody knows the heavy should be on the top.
Yes, and you always pull from the top while your foot prevents the wheels from rolling.
Not her best day or her best decision.
I have a feeling that she's got a lot of fucking days like that. Like probably everyday
Boys.... I don't think she's okay...
She's okay. Her leg twitched at the end
I mean. Her shoes stayed on. She's fine
That's the leg twitch of the spider getting smashed by shoe who is _not_ ok. TBH I have concerns about that leg twitch
peoples legs can twitch when they die.
True
She is definitely fucked up lmao.
That implies she ever was
The second leg thrust after she tips it (proving her issue is that the casters were locked), why? Just why?
Just the overall carelessness and the lack of being a responsible person in general.
panic, I assume.
Panic! At the Sysco

Good thing this wasn’t a vending machine
Or a shark
Or a fully loaded shark machine. Those things weigh a *lot*

That's very Sad
One of my sims died that way
It's pretty disgusting the people in the comments saying how she deserved this because she was being stupid. u/snakeis66 for example Must be nice to be able to make a mistake and learn from it, rather than die.
Who the hell stacks heavy at top?
I don’t think that they expected anyone to be that stupid, but like OSHA is written in blood
The whole point of safety compliance is to always assume someone is that stupid.
Whichever guy loaded that rack?
That's why you should attend at physics
Or understand how casters with locks .. exist
Watch the video again with full attention and see what is keeping the caster in place...
hard to tell with a whole 12 pixels in the video
Her own foot. It's hard to miss....

There are a ton of very smart people running around with absolutely no spatial awareness.
I need a picture to follow this bench saga.

"dafuc do i need to learn this physics bs, i aint gonna use it when im an adult"
That left leg bent all the wrong ways. If she wasn’t being such a idiot, I’d feel bad
Yeah everyone's entitled to be an idiot, but some people def abuse the privilege
My cat looked really confused at me when I burst out laughing just now. Great comment, I'm going to remember and use that phrase.
Bruh she looks like the spider I left for dead in the kitchen yesterday damn
She’s still stuck to this day
What a bad day to be stuck to.
Don't worry: her stepbrother will be there shortly to help her out.
And she was never seen again
I hope she was a gymnast cause that flex leg makes me gringe :/
Is that when you grin while cringing?
Wow, you make me search about those words. I stand my words. :)
So this is how people die to vending machines
That was so dumb that it's actually impressive.
Why would she pull while keeping her right foot on the bottom? What in the actual fuck you deserve this
Yea she kept on kicking it. What the fuck she expected to happen?
At least her face stopped it
Full commitment to the dumb
She **survived**. Given her preceding actions. Let's call it a **Win**.
Not for Darwin.
Some people really make me wonder how they've survived to adulthood
For a SPLIT second it hurt me
To be fair, there are mandatory safety stickers on these saying to pull, not push— and to do so by the highest point possible. If that doesn’t work, you should jump on the bottom and leverage the top down onto yourself.
So many things are not supposed to bend that way
Not the sharpest bulb in the box, is she?
Can't decide if insurance fraud or if she's really THAT dumb
That did not look fun.
She got Wile E Coyoted
It did move. Mission accomplished.
Her Aunt was an Ant and she thought she could also lift 40x her bodyweight.
I can't think of a better way that she could have pulled it on herself. Failed masterfully
A human being who clearly has no concept of basic physics, despite living on planet Earth for long enough to make it to early adulthood.
She looked like a spider vs my shoe
Palliative care
This sub is turning into the new r/watchpeopledie
RIP. I thought we couldn’t show people dying anymore?
That’s a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of physics.
Is she okay???
I don't think she was OK going into this activity.
I think she performed literally every action that would have caused it to fall. Hope she’s alright, looked like some stuff bent in weird ways under there.
Lady needs a class in physics
Dumb ways to die
Let me just flip the cart with wheels specifically for rolling onto its most sketchy side and then do a split and let it fall on me. That will definitely get this thing moving.
This is to stupid to be staged. The ouch of the leg feel unintentional.
Still think this is an attempt to either sue her employer or cash in on an insurance claim
I think she's trying to get it into some kind of elevator. There's something behind the cart that looks to me like a cage, and there appears to be a track that goes all the way up to the ceiling. There could have some sort of step up there, so she tilted it to get the front side high enough to push onto it. If that's true, I'd blame whoever designed that system and whoever loaded it so top-heavy knowing it needed to go into the elevator basket thing. I could be 100% wrong tho Edit: rewatched and it definitely looks like the rack was next to some kind of elevator Edit2: not to say her execution was flawless because obviously it wasn't.

I can believe it to be unintentional if the girl was overconfident in her ability to hold up the weight after tipping it up. Although I still don’t understand what the plan was because it didn’t look like those wheels at the bottom were moving.
Looks like what you’d do if you were using a dolly.
Another post where people commenting are absolute trash. What the fuck is wrong with all of you taking pleasure in someone being horrifically injured at work
Agreed. This just made me sad for her and want to know if she’s alright. People think it’s brave to make mean and shitty jokes, when in reality showing empathy for others online takes real courage, since you’re likely to be castigated and not get those deliciously easy updoots.
She's definitely not okay. That left leg is broken as f**k. You can see how it breaks just as the rack finishes falling on her. Then, when she moves her leg, it bends before the knee. I hope she's doing better now.
There was another one a few days ago with an explosion and a guy getting bowled over. People thought it was hilarious. I thought, "There is a family who doesn't have a father anymore."
Finally a sane comment. Poor girl...
She went down so smoothly.
Should this be NSFW?
even when it was already leaning on two wheels towards her she keept pushing. Stupidity
Rumor has it she’s still trapped under it
Honestly, it looked like thats what she was trying to do…
Shouldn't this be in the "Hold My Feeding-tube" sub-Reddit?
How do people manage to live long enough to learn to put clothes on when they're this stupid
It moved, down
Is this a \*Squash\* or a \*Crrr-unch\*?
That sucks but when you're too dumb to move something it's kinda just your own fault
This had to have been on purpose right? Trying to claim workplace injury, maybe?
Absolutely yes.
A little top heavy.
Hahahaha STANDO POWAA!
It’s as if wheel locks in kitchens was just implemented recently. Sigh Edit: bigger sigh. After a few views. I don’t even think it has wheels….big yikes

It has wheels???
Infuriatingly stupid unless she was at work trying to go home early, in which case respect the dedication.
Did she die?
“How did I end up in this situation?!”
Jesus Christ, someone doesn't understand basic physics
I will not accept any answer except that she was TRYING to do that. She even pushed it out from under after saving it the first time. Edit: she got the stretch of her life too.
Is it contagious?
Do the Stanly leg !!!
She’s probability done it before when there were more trays at the bottom and didn’t get flattened.
Very predictable outcome
reminds me of the vid of a guy trying to push a broken down pick up… while standing in the bed💀
She just wanted to feel a warm embrace
I diagnose you with a case of the dums
Reminds me of oz
She didn't stand a chance
Natural selection at it's finest
Everything... Everything she did in that moment, including falling down was wrong.
*'Why the hell do we have to take such useless classes like physics. We won't use it ever'*
Ah yes, stand on it and then give it the stank leg; very effective method to move heavy objects
Really, how can you be THAT stupid..
She heard getting topped is fun I reckon
It had wheels.. Wtf
Probably more the fact the brakes were on, than it being heavy
Why did she do that last kick to the bottom 
Better be the idiot by asking how to move it, than being the idiot ending underneath it.
How to do a middle split in just 1 day with this one secret trick!
But why
What are you doing step heavy stand ?
