[QUOTE="Kraetos, post: 656662, member: 10269"] Christmas peak season two years back I was loading cars on the preload as I am today. Our belt was the in terribly poor shape, everyone had stackouts, the egress quickly turned into an obstacle course. I was sorting at the front of the belt with another guy across from me, we each had three trucks. All our trucks were stacked out and all we could really do was sort the belt, otherwise we would risk missing our own packages if one of us tryed to load one of our trucks. So we sorted and talked for a while, trying to wait it out till the flow slowed down. Our part-time supe was way down at the end of the belt loading cars for someone who didn't show up that day and they didn't have a replacement, of course he was stacked out too. He yelled at us from all the way down the belt that he was sweating and working while we were just talking and not loading. We yelled back that we couldn't move. Immediately he stopped the belt and because the egress was no where near clear to walk on, he walked at a very 'brisk' pace down the belt towards us, when all of a sudden he hits his head on one of the skinny metal electrical pipe lines that run overhead the belt, and he instantly falls flat on his back. Everyone on the belt had an easier day that day, the supe wore a bandage on his head the rest of the shift. He quit 3 months later, not sure why though. [/QUOTE]
