The worst workplace fails

If you thought you were having an average day at work, then take some comfort in the fact that you're not this warehouse worker.

In footage uploaded to Russian video site ochevidnets.ru, the worker can be seen driving his pallet jack carrying what appears to be a shelf of drawers.

Somehow, the worker misjudges the length of the platform he's working on, and drives the pallet jack off the edge.

The weight of the machine and shelf combined pull the man over – and he goes flying – landing face down on the concrete.
