[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 414439, member: 7185"] No, its not an exaggeration. I remember hearing about the last one at Salt Lake. It was an electrocution incident. UPS re-staged the scene to look like a suicide. The last I heard some members of management had been indicted. I think the electrocution was about 3, 4 years ago? It was on BrownCafe when it happened. Those walls move when ya least expect 'em. I had a supe tell me about a guy that packed his trailer almost airtight. He checked on the guy once and found him unconscious from a wall failure. Later, they would learn he'd been out for 15 minutes or more. When the guy regained consciousness, he was spitting mad he was about to be carted into an ambulance. This guy had never had a wall failure. Safety checked the load quality and found nothing wrong with it. There wasn't even a box put in a bad place. The wall just shifted. I know another guy that was loading while I was breaking jams. I took a look in his load and yelled, "Hey, WATCH IT, Jack!! Wall shift!!" He jumped back over his load stand as packages fell where he'd been standing. His partner had a good laugh as the other guy cursed him, the load and the bad luck. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
