[quote]Ambulance Victoria said the man, aged in his 50s, died at the scene in Laverton North just after 3:00pm (AEDT) yesterday.
"It appears the man was helping others unload a large computer server from the back of a truck," ambulance spokesman Mark Lamb said.
"The equipment has started to slip from a forklift and it appears the man has tried to stop it.
"It has then fallen on him and he has suffered critical head and chest injuries."
Workmates applied CPR before fires crews and paramedics arrived, but the man died a short time later.[/quote]

In other words, something looking similar to this fell on him:

They look lightweight but holy shit are they heavy. The framing alone is designed to support up to 1500 pounds.
Wow, [del]video games[/del] computers really do kill.
Who said they look lightweight? It [B]looks[/B] like it's fucking heavy.
Ah only you, pentium, would post gold like this.
Funny.
That doesn't look lightweight to me at all, it looks like it'd weigh at least as much as a fuckin' fridge. D:

Funny.[/QUOTE]
Only because it's almost happened to me. :rolleyes:
I wouldn't be surprised if Pentium had one of these.
before I saw you posted this my first thought was "oh shit pentium's shelves collapsed and killed him"
His family must've been crushed.

llol
Get off of me HAL.
*I'm afraid I can't do that.*
I came in expecting a pathetic person crushed to death by their desktop. I was pleasantly but sadly surprised.
It's funny because the computer that crushed him is about the size of a regular Xbox
[sp]the joke is that xboxs are very big[/sp]
This was no accident.
[b]They're learning.[/b]
The well being of that machine was on his mind.
judgement day is coming guys
I guess you could say...
... the computer bluescreened [i]him![/i]
Stupid people doing stupid things.

thank u thank u im here all week
Something heavy is starting to fall!
Lets go stand underneath it and try to stop it!
Seriously. When I see something big falling, I turn and run the other way. I'm not dumb enough to run towards it.
that must've been a [B]hard [/B]drive
idk i try man i try
Let me see if I got this right: This thing is so heavy they needed a forklift to move it, but this guy thought he was going to stop it from slipping off the forklift? Something does not compute.
Does the PC in OP remind anyone of Frylock's big PC?

:v:
Looks like his computer [B]crashed[/B] :smug:
That thing has quite a lot of [b]RAM[/b].
I hope the computer was OK.

Holy shit the giant server is falling, i better run underneath it.
[editline]08:41PM[/editline]
Poor guy though, death by computer, not exactly how I'd want to die.
[editline]08:43PM[/editline]
They should get a new [B]driver[/B] for their forklift.
I crack myself up.

The problem is, if he just let it fall they would've fired him more likely than not. Companies are THAT stupid.
