Not funny... it's easily done... nearly did it myself at at a previous job. Bent the rack to **** just with a slight glancing blow on my first night.

Most people don't realize how heavy a fork lift truck really is... so even a slow moving impact can do a lot of damage.

That machine probably weighed over 5 tons... so not surprised the rack collapsed.

here's another video of something similar
