I about died

Last night was inventory at work. My husband and I were in a scissor lift counting parts and a forklift tried turning around in a space that didn’t have enough room. The forks caught the upright racking and he accidentally lifted up instead of backing out. Half the scissor lift was next to that racking and the other half was out of line of fire. The racking started to tilt and and parts started falling, I got mere inches out of the way before the entire bundle (500-700 pounds) came down but some loose parts hit me and I hit my knee. My husband is unscathed other than jerking his back. The forklift driver was/ is very shaken and feels terrible. The leads let us take a 10 minute break before they sent us back to work. I’m just upset because out of every way they could have handled everything,…

I’m just upset because out of every way they could have handled everything, they were complaining about how much paperwork they’d have to fill out. When the big wig manager came in he was actually mad that my husband left on time instead of staying late!! I’m very frustrated
