I don't usually condone venturing into the scuzzy precincts of LiveLeak, but this video taken onboard a cruise ship in stormy seas is worth the risk of contamination. Never before has so much furniture slid so far at so many portly passengers. Citizen journalism wins again!

That poor crew member that is at the desk at the beginning of the video is never seen from again.

I wonder if this is how pirates originally got wooden legs. The amalgamation of human flesh and cheap furniture.

Holy crap, that's scary as hell!

I'm glad I saw this video after going on my first-ever cruise this summer and not before.

I was trying to find a detail that would indicate at what angle the ship must've been tilting - had to be quite severe to toss things around like that.

Couldn't find much to judge by, but towards the end there's a white plastic container filled with liquid that seems to tilt at more than a 45 degree angle!

Insane.

The guy at the 1:28 mark almost ate forklift. I don't know what happened off camera, but you have to think it had a better outcome than if he had stayed in frame...

I don't recall the time stamp, but I think the lady dressed mostly in black was knocked out cold when she hit the pillar. She wasn't sliding, she was falling horizontally!

I laughed, and then I felt terribly guilty. I hope nobody was badly hurt?

It was just before the 0:50 point. She wasn't knocked cold, you can see her pushing her hair behind her ear a couple seconds later.

It does happen.

I must have looked like this from the outside (truly impressive at about 1 min.)

Same ship inside the storm.

I have only been on one cruise. Almost everything was bolted down to the floor so it would not slide around during a storm.

After having lived on a ship, and prepared for sailings, this ship was NOT prepared... all that stuff should have been bolted to the floor or tied down. The good news is, on a cruise, if you're in your cabin, there's not as much to fall on you in the way of furniture!

Since w00t is into vids of people getting injured now, here is a link to a vid of a MGM trainer getting mauled by his lion. It appeared on the TODAY show this morning.
