I just wanted to chime in on this with a quick story.
The same day
some one posted this, I was moving my professional Iris off the top
of a half height rack, and I had small accident. The computer
shifted too quick and crushed my hand against the side of the rack
on it's way down. No broken bones but my hand swelled the other
day. Seems okay today, just a bit stiff. The only person with me
was my wife. If something really bad had happened she probably
couldn't have helped. A couple of lessons learned: 1. I'm not 20
anymore (my mind is willing, my body is not). 2. Make sure my sons
are around when moving heavy items from high spots to low spots.
Be safe and have fun collecting.
Prior to getting everything moved out of storage and into the garage
of our new house, I always made sure I had someone there that could
at least run and get help if I got stuck under a "landslide". Things
are a lot safer in our garage than storage had been for years.
