I guess it has been addressed in this forum but think of all the potential hazards from slot and gaming machines:

Weight of machine, it could throw your back out or take a toe off if dropped.
Electricity, try not to work in a machine if it is plugged in. Only a couple of milliamps could kill you.
Glass on machine, it could break and cut you or someone else.

Not that I am a safety expert but just wanted to address the topic as everyone can benefit from it. I tried to move a heavy slot down a flight of basement stairs and then I thought "What the heck am I doing??:" Then I stopped and got the proper help to get it down the stairs safely.
Transporting: if it is in a car, remember that if you stop short, 275 lbs of stuff is coming at you at 70 mph......secure it in the vehicle before you start out.


Everyone, think before you act, stay safe. Just a thought for our fellow NLG members.

Judge: "Huh"

Offiicer Krumpke: "A slot machine, cut the damn guy in half, didn't have a chance"
Judge: "Thats what I thought you said". "OK please process the suvivor for illegal possession of a slot machine, forget about the accident"

Officer Krumpke: "Huh..........." bust gut laughing

A conversation gone really wrong...... Cry Laughing

As far as safety goes this should count.  Aprox. 7 years ago we were moving.  There were a caravan of moving vehicles with trailers behind trucks etc..  The last loads were all gameroom games/equipment.  Evidentally one of the trailers did not get loaded correctly.  The trailer had five pinballs and 3 pashitzlo machines on it in the caravan.  We got straggled apart and i was in the rear about 2-miles back and got the phone call--"We lost some games and they hit a vehicle".  Needles to say they were doing about 65 in a 40 and no one was hurt.  However a Tales from the Crypt pinball ended up in the windsheild of a 99 pwrstroke diesel truck with heavy damage.  The truck also ran over/samashed/tried to avoid the 3 jap. machines.  The other four pins on the trailer never moved.  They did not have the rest of the cargo secured properly in the mele and that was my fault for not checking.  Needless to say this cost me a lot of dollars but could have been far more expensive in being said it could have cost some lives.  So I very much agree on the safety thing.  I wish I had pictures of the destruction as I would share.  Thanks Barry.
