I had a personel injury accident yesterday.
I had a load of tire treads going to a tire shop. The tire shop didn't have a dock so the pallets needed to be wheeled to the back of the trailer with a pallet jack. There was just 1 guy there so I told him I would wheel them to the back of the trailer. I got them to the back of the trailer until I got to the double stacked ones in the middle of the trailer. The pallets were 2500lbs each.
I was having trouble getting the double stacked pallets turned around in the trailer. The guy running the forklift came up into the trailer to get the pallets turned. While we were both pushing on the handle and turning the pallets he accidently hit the lever to drop the pallets.
Yeah you guessed it........5,000lbs right on my foot!!!!!
Totally mangled my big toe...Broke it, blew the end out, and tore my toe nail off. I must of pulled my other toes back because it only got my big toe.
I have had alot of broken bones and different injuries in my 50 years but there is no pain that compares to getting your toe smashed.
