Had a Systainer mishap the other day. I was carrying two  stacks up some old, rough , stone steps from an outside cellar entry.  Caught  the edge of my boot and fell forward (glad I was going up) , I was fine basically just leaned into the stairs, But this made me drop one of the stacks.  [scared]  Two #IIIs cartwheeled to the bottom and landed in the dirt (mud).  [mad]

The two separated on the way down. Upon retrieval I had trouble finding any damage  :o  After cleaning them off - one corner had a very small dent (you have to look for it), and a few minor scratches that are hardly noticeable.  [smile]

I didn't bother taking pics because there really isn't anything to show.

Sorry, I forgot you can't watch internet videos well on your connection speed.  Hopefully you'll be able to view it somewhere else, soon.
 
Peter,

I saw that one before and it's amazing how he staged that.  That's one hell of a stuntman!

Couple months ago I was working in a 4 story house and doing some built ins on the top level, so the contractor's laborer was helping me transport my tools through the finished part on the house.  Of course he slipped on the cherry stair case plummeting my systainers to a near death experience, but alas he and the stair case were the only ones to take on any damage.  I could here it from the basement...
 
I used two SYS-IVs as a makeshift workbench when cutting up MDF with the TS 55. Suddenly, the saw didn't slide as easily anymore. I reached for the hose to clear it off the end of the guide rail, but that was not what was causing the slowdown.  [sad]
