Default My blu-ray collection fell on me

I was going through my collection when, without warning, the cabinet holding hundreds of Blu-rays decides to fall on me, as well as some of my Lego collection and a bunch of other junk.

I think the discs are all fine. Most of the blu's stayed in the drawers which they were in. A bunch of them fell on the floor, but only a few got noticeable damage/dints on the case. Willy Wonka and Get Smart, I think. SO yeah, it's not like all the blu's rained down on me like my thread title suggests :P, it was the chest of drawers that fell on me.

Pics aren't that exciting.

I was complaining about a2x4 falling and hitting me in the head. It was like a scene in a cartoon. My friend and I laughed for a while afterwards. I t did not really hurt. More of the shock of something just randomly falling etc.

At least you were there to help break their fall. Seriously though, 300+ blus crashing down on you. Your lucky to be posting this and not in the ER. I hope you're OK!1

You need to bolt that sucker to the floor or wall.

It's going to happen again, especially if your floor isn't level. All it takes is for 1 or 2 drawers to start moving on their own when you have another one open, and thar she blows.

Some case dints, but I think all the discs should be fine. The shelf that fell out luckily didn't crush any of the blu's on the floor.

I was joking but seeing the photos...

I would have something bad if my babies dropped to the floor like that. Glad that the aftermath was only some dents on a few...

Well at least you didn't step on any LEGO after it fell on you. Those little ****ers pack more pain than a cabinet falling on you

I'm sorry, I couldn't help but laugh at the thread title (assuming you were alright since you created the thread), but I hope nothing was damaged. Damn, you have to secure that shelf dude.
