Mistakes and accidents are unavoidable. They're part of our lives. But don't worry, this isn't an insurance ad. It's a piece on the subreddit That Looked Expensive.’

It's an online community, where people share photos, gifs, and videos of mistakes, accidents, catastrophes, and disasters that cost a small fortune.

We're talking a supercar storage catching fire, children knocking over a $70K sculpture, and many more hilarious, er, I mean, costly mishaps. Continue scrolling to check them out and take a look at Bored Panda's earlier article on the subreddit after you're done, too!

Looks bad because the front axle has detached, but that will repair, particularly if the car is sufficiently valuable, insurance will pay. Just makes me want to cry though.

I'm guessing some power-mad manager demanded this against the reservations of the people who worked there. "People hardly ever buy those, put them up on the top shelf."

Or the pallet was overloaded or not properly stretch-wrapped, or they noticed those problems yet didn't want to take the time to get a john lift and unload it manually from the rack.

Um, no. The pallet collapsed. You can see the bottom part of it hanging down from the forks. (And the load probably wasn't correctly shrink wrapped to the pallet.) You can tell by the position of the reach truck (no, it's not a fork lift) that the driver had only just raised the load. It's not even pulled all the way out of the racking. It's not operator error. And size has nothing to do with it. The small things you can get to with a ladder are in the intermediate overheads (lower shelves). The things that are big and heavy and require lift equipment to move are always on the top (16 or 20 ft).

I've worked as a store-person. A properly constructed shelving system will take those buckets on any shelf you please, and ask for more. More likely, they were improperly stacked on the small pallet, and didn't take kindly to being tipped while the pallet was being placed.
