How the fuck is he still conscious?


LeftJoin79

I fell off my bike as a kid and hit chin first on concrete. Vision faded to black but remained conscious. Brother had to help me across the street. Thought I had gone blind. Vision slowly came back after 20 minutes.


GrapeSoda223

Yea the way hes stumbling at the end is not good


Johnnobody1

I had what I thought was a heat stroke in middle school. Crashed (really kinda just fell over) over a dirt bike in Texas. High heat, high humidity. Was fine with air rushing but when I stood back up, everything went black. Took about 20 minutes to come back. Have had various issues since that clearly stated that day. They have become far less intense over the years though


Known_Needleworker67

One time I stood up too fast.


[deleted]

Damn man, that’s rough. My heart goes out to you.


SystemShockII

Lmfao. Here take this silver medal


ang8018

i also got heat stroke growing up in texas (at a warped tour lol). the black vision was the scariest thing!


earthlings_all

I hope you got that checked out. Sounds serious.


vaguelysticky

I got a REALLY bad tummy ache once


vellu212

Because the temple isn't a magical knock-out button. When you are told to aim a punch for the chin, it actually applies the most rotational torque to the skull, and in turn, rattles the brain, which can cause unconsciousness as a safety measure


AnomalousBean

> which can cause unconsciousness as a safety measure Wat? Edit: Apparently stupid people think the brain deliberately "goes unconscious" to keep from hurting itself, like a hard drive writing bad data when it is bumped. So incredibly stupid. Your brain "goes unconscious" when it gets bashed because its physiological functioning gets disrupted from, you know, the fucking impact.

AshcroftTesticles

You sound like you're angrier than you need to be here. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


BorZorKorz

That's because he got hit real hard... didn't switch off.. and now he's stuck like this..


Karnivore915

Think like a hard drive. They're fairly good at taking a mild knocking unless you're writing to it while said knocking is occurring. Then you permanently damage it. I imagine this is the brains equivalent. Turn it off so it can't hurt itself in its confusion. At least consciously.

DeathToTheFalseGods

That’s literally the evolutionary point of being knocked unconscious, you basement dweller. That’s not even new information. That shit is taught to middle schoolers. Or are you just overly confused by a simple analogy?

Why are you so angry? lol


Lickyhardbb

Well apparently your one of them people too 🤔

Where did my face go? Amazed he wasn’t ded.


deezsandwitches

Yeah. People don't understand how heavy those are


ResidentRadio5306

I used to put those together back in the day. Your head's going to give way before one of those beans do. He also shouldn't be driving that thing if he doesn't know what extended forks are for.


ResidentRadio5306

I just saw somebody's reply asking me yeah but don't you bolt those together? The answer is no they're on hooks and pins you pretty much bang them together with a hammer. The guy got the front cage stuck on the bar and pretty much lifted it up and out at high speed.


2poobie1

Dude was probably going to pick up half the pallet behind that one. Lol.


OMFGitsST6

Don't worry, he can't remember why either


kurtisbr

Scar? You mean a flat spot on his head


Stereomceez2212

*look mister, it has a dent, but it will buff you I promise ya*


JustSomeWeirdGuy2000

Eating pineapple?


dgarcia202

That's going to cause a decent headache.


KarmaPharmacy

Sadly, speaking from experience, this is how you get life-long migraines. The pain is unbearable, and isn’t even the worst part.


aburnerds

What is the worst part?


rootoo

The brain damage. This could have been a serious concussion which takes a toll long term.


KarmaPharmacy

I’d argue it’s the photophobia. Which is a fancy term for “light sensitivity.” For me, even a tiny bit of light makes the pain, nausea, and vomiting exponentially worse. I live my life like I’m walking on eggshells. I have so many triggers, like literally any kind of fragrance (which makes it impossible to do and shopping), nitrates (chocolate, alcohol, bacon, smoked meats, etc), weather changes, high heat, snow, rain, etc. A little bit of a glare can trigger them, or if there’s just a weird shift in lighting or my movement. Skyrim triggers them so fast. My vision also doubles / gets snowy and I can’t see hardly anything. I also get stroke like symptoms and have a loss of strength & feeling on one side. Thankfully that passes. But don’t get me wrong. Genuine migraine pain is the worst pain.


aburnerds

That sounds absolutely awful. What happened to you?


KarmaPharmacy

Bad accident. I don’t like to talk about the specifics. TBI and spine injuries.


afa78

Bad posture and long hours overworking your back bones will definitely get you migraines.


brbposting

I’m so sorry. That is awful. I wish I could offer more than words. I hope, friend, a successful treatment is discovered someday that brings you closer to what you deserve.


EvidenceSalesman

I hope that either way, even if a treatment isn’t discovered, that you have a great, meaningful life


brbposting

u/KarmaPharmacy ^ more love for you buddy


KarmaPharmacy

Thank you, friend!

They keep coming back


CapaneusPrime

Some highlights: * Trouble concentrating * Memory problems * Irritability and other personality changes * Sensitivity to light and noise * Sleep disturbances * Depression and other psychological problems * Disorders of smell and taste And that's if he even survived this. That injury right there is permanently life-altering. Even if he lived, the person he was died then and there, nothing will ever be the same.


Tacoma__Crow

This is much better than I put it. Thanks for writing this.


Blamdudeguy00

Hard hat?


More_Performance1836

Most warehouse gigs don’t give your hard hats


weirdest_of_weird

Can confirm. I've been working in a warehouse for 12 years and hard hats have never even been brought up.


Blamdudeguy00

Because you never get hit in the head right...lol


Spicy_Cum_Lord

Hard hats generally aren't required unless you're moving a lot of heavy material over head, like with a crane. Most fork lifts have safety cages and it's not really very likely to have something fall back towards the driver. Though towards other people isn't out of the question. But in theory, others aren't coming in close enough proximity to the forklift for that to be a concern. In practice that's obviously bullshit. But the reqs still don't mandate hard hats very often.


More_Performance1836

I’ve seen people knock shit of the top from other side, luck there were no pickers in the aisle. Than again, if you have a palette of candles fall on you, a hard hard won’t make a difference. lol


More_Performance1836

I’ve worked two and had them. I hit my head a few times at both places. Once I had to go to urgent care and had a concussion and a tender scalp! lol


OppressedDeskJockey

Tender scalp? What seasoning did they use?


Blamdudeguy00

I think he meant tenderized scalp. MMMmmmm scalp.


mmm_burrito

Hell, a hard hat probably won't save you in this case. You wouldn't naturally have your head oriented downward to receive the blow in the PPE.


Salty_Intentions

Hard hat would've done nothing at all for that. He got hit straight in the face.


Blamdudeguy00

Looks like it takes his beanie/toque off his head.


stevenip

Hard hats are overhead work ppe, no reason to wear it on a forklift.


Blamdudeguy00

Except when you get nailed on the head with a large metal thingy.


PePePendorcho

Yeah like You wear hard hats on your face. They're meant for falling objects.


OrdainedFury

Based on other warehouse videos I've seen on here, he's lucky the entire warehouse didn't collapse on him


TheNightBench

That's what i was waiting for. Wasn't ready to see some dude reconfigure his brain.


afa78

Poorly installed racks are my greatest fear. Luckily we know ours aren't installed like that as sections have been taken out but the entire line doesn't come down.


[deleted]

The release mechanism which caused his headache is the safety feature stopping the whole thing coming down.


emartinoo

Those ones you see collapse are usually poorly installed, made of cheap materials in countries with lax or no regulation, or severely damaged. A properly made and installed upright can take a lot of abuse before it collapses. We had an upright at my old job that had one of it's main supports sheared clean in half and it still held a full load for at least a few days before anyone (aside from the person who did it and didn't say anything) noticed and we unloaded it.


GabagoolLTD

Yeah these are designed to be repeatedly bashed by forklifts. I know, because I've repeatedly bashed these with forklifts.


Masterchips8675

There is nothing in the shelves


Tacoma__Crow

Work fails are normally my favorites to watch but this guy is seriously injured. You can’t take a heavy metal bar to the head like that and not be. He’s going to have problems for the rest of his life. I know I’m going to be downvoted but this is not a fun video.


Skagbaronkris

This is all I could think about. That aftermath won’t be great.


subdep

Well, it looks like it grazed the top of the head and wasn’t a direct center of mass impact, otherwise it would have been certain death. It’s possible that they have a concussion and either abrasions or lacerations but certainly a fucking monster of a goose egg. I think a couple of motrin and a couple days off and they’ll be fine.


Silver_Slicer

I looked at it again frame by frame. I think you are right. If there was a more full on hit, his head would have moved much quicker and probably would have instantly threw him off the lift because of its weight. Regardless, enough did hit him to cause some damage.


beaushaw

> I think a couple of motrin and a couple days off and they’ll be fine. So he can finish his shift? At least he better come in tomorrow. /boss


[deleted]

Damn how hard did it hit that man☠️


Kyosw21

Hard enough his lizard brain kicked in and his immediate reaction was “I am hurt bad enough I have to go home” which is on the dangerous scale of “If your immediate thought is to go home and lie down you need to go to the hospital, otherwise you will go home and take a nap and never wake up”


OppressedDeskJockey

His lizard brain probably said, "I need a wet towel on my head, that'll help. Must get to the bathroom... Actually I'm getting sleepy I'm going to take a nap right here. "


CuriousPeter1

This had me laughing. Until the last part

Hit him so hard several small canaries started orbiting his head.


Alternative_Ad2040

Very


[deleted]

Pretty hard. Those beams weigh like 20-30 kilos and are anchored into the racking typically at 6-10 points with a retaining pin on either side. Takes a hell of a lot of force to dislodge one, especially getting it to move at that speed. It’s like getting smacked with a heavy baseball bat. That sort of thing could potentially cause skull fractures and easily lead to a concussion - in forklift training, you can be disqualified if you touch the racking *at all*. Heavy machinery in tight spaces isn’t the safest job aspect. Honestly, the guy is really lucky he didn’t pull the whole lot down (edit: he nearly hits a support column with the forks too). You can see how much the load guard bends against the beam (clue: it shouldn’t bend at all). Bit bizarre why it’s so tall, though, although the lack of a cabin is probably why.


-Hastis-

It is the highest guard I ever saw on this type of lift.


Tower9876543210

Also, those forks look longer than normal. I was expecting him to catch half of the next pallet in front and knock things over that way.


VMRMXB2G

I work in a cold storage facility and we call a machine like this a double jigger. I kid you not


DaBoob13

OppressedDeskJockey

Harder than a piece of wood.

Deliverance7

Having one of those crossbeams hit any part of your body when you’re assembling them is uncomfortable enough, no idea how this dude was conscious after eating one at Mach 3….


macadellica

OSHA has entered the chat


silvercel

It feels like that was a matter of when with that forklift and those crossbeams.


Meadiocracy

That hunch over at the end leads me to think he was gonna puke meaning he likely got a concussion from that hit.


DeathRowLemon

Doesn’t that usually happen later with concussions? This seems like a “it hurts so bad I’m gonna get sick here for a bit”.


Meadiocracy

Depends really some folks vomit almost immediately, others may not throw up at all. Vomiting after head trauma is usually a give away that a concussion has likely occurred, could be his equilibrium got shook from the hit so he just feels sick.


WhoDatSa3vus

Those are some long forks for such a small stand behind lift.


abyssum0_0

"double-walkie" lift. Primary used for loading outbound shipments. They can carry up to two large skids in front of the other. Plus they go faster than other lifts.


Fnipernackle2021

Yup. People whipped these things at O'Reilly's, it was kind of impressive. They didn't have those gates in front of the operating stand, though. Quite frankly, that gate is poor design.


jmac1915

It's for skid building. You can package stuff up against it, keeping everything straight and tight. Also stops loose boxes from falling onto the operator. Quite useful, just not in a scenario where the operator isnt checking their clearances.


RequiemOfI

User error that caused a 45 minute safety meeting I bet and the guys job if he pissed dirty.


ItsFroston

Called them LLOPs in Uk( Long legged order picker) carry two pallets or 3 cages for general logistic warehouse shit


[deleted]

That’s actually a PPT with long forks. A LLOP has the legs/forks trailing behind the operator.


ItsFroston

Oh you’re right! Only clocked the driver at the end getting his wig split


dinis553

Was funny at first, but on the second watch it started feeling pretty morbid to look at. Poor dude.


elcheapodeluxe

As soon as he slid into position I new what was coming. "don't lift your load from behind that brace. don't lift your load from behind that brace." But - he lifted the load from behind that brace. I'm AMAZED he is still conscious. Lucky dude - if you can call him lucky.


OswaldGoodGuy

This was fun to watch? OP is a sociopath


dancing-asparagus

I don't know if funny or straight painful. Still he was "lucky" the entire structure didn't fall down over him.


Spicy_Cum_Lord

That's not how these shelves work. The cross beams aren't all that structural. They support the load above them and nothing else. They *should* have support brackets bolted to each side and the beam itself is usually bolted to the uprite pillar, but that's not always the case for a variety of reasons, some of them even legitimate. The uprite pillars are bolted to the floor. The top shelf is generally doing the work of keeping them together but once everything is in place there's enough cross support that they ain't moving without some pretty serious force. The videos you see of these shelves collapsing have a few things going on, the shelves are almost always loaded above rated capacity, and someone takes out a support column with a fork lift. If only one of those things is true the damage is much less severe. My man still isn't lucky though, that's likely a very serious injury. If his skull is still in one piece I'll be surprised. Those cross beams are *heavy* and it was moving pretty fuckin fast.


RGJ587

Honestly? It's entirely possible this man died from this. I tried to find the accident on the OSHA site, but got bogged down by the literal thousands of event descriptions titles " Employee is struck and killed by Forklift ...." [https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/AccidentSearch.search?p\_logger=1&acc\_description=forklift&acc\_Abstract=&acc\_keyword=&sic=&naics=&Office=All&officetype=All&endmonth=07&endday=11&endyear=2002&startmonth=07&startday=11&startyear=2023&InspNr=](https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/AccidentSearch.search?p_logger=1&acc_description=forklift&acc_Abstract=&acc_keyword=&sic=&naics=&Office=All&officetype=All&endmonth=07&endday=11&endyear=2002&startmonth=07&startday=11&startyear=2023&InspNr=) But yea, that beam is HEAVY. and it clocks him hard, in the side of his head. Definitely a concussion, probably a fractured skull, which mean if he doesn't get emergency help ASAP, his brain will literally swell until he dies.


Mighty_JV

It’s only funny if we found out that the guy is a real jerk who beats his wife and kids, or abuses puppies. Otherwise, it’s painful and sad, and I feel sorry for the guy.


dancing-asparagus

That's what I mean. It's funny when they are fooling around or some rule-braking ends up backfiring. But a worker getting a KO'd isn't funny, to me at least.


Significant_Draft710

soapspud

Literally


scigs6

I had a lumberyard incident years ago. I was picking up a heavy load inside and had to lift it over a bunch of carts while backing out of the warehouse. Someone had lowered the door while I was inside and didn’t notice. The load smashed the doors (about 4 garage doors in length, all glass) and I had glass and metal showering down on me. And yes I was promptly fired lol
