Be careful handling computer racks

I have seen and felt, from one floor below, an fully populated EMC Symmetrix cabinet fall on it's side. Someone, who shouldn't have been, decided it needed to be moved, and rolled a wheel into a cutout in the raised flooring, and down it went. Luckily the guy moving it fell off to the side through an open tile, and the cabinet came down on it's side breaking several floor tiles and dislodging/shattering all the drop ceiling tiles nearby on the floor below. Had he fallen under it, that would probably been the end of him. I also had an arcade cabinet fall on me before, not fun. First time was trying to get one out of a Uhaul by myself, I was lowering it down and the top heavy monitor just went tumbling over. Wasn't too bad, I decided to just let go and get out of the way, and machine came to a rest on it's front unharmed, and second was lowering it down a set of stairs by myself, and it decided to just slide down the whole way pushing me down the rest of the stairs along with it.
