Attacked by a rack shelf

Some time ago I was attacked by a rack shelf. Well maybe it sounds weird but it is true. I work In a local network company was an IT scientist. I work in a giant server room and my job is to keep everything working perfectly. From time to time I must monitor cooling system and many different parameters but generally all things there are controlled by computers. Well from time to time when there is a serious problem I must work some extra hours to solve it but generally my work is easy and I love it. There are only two people working in the server room so from time to time we like to entertain ourselves. We play different mind games and riddles but as I said our regular day at work is rather dull. As I said some time ago I was attacked by a rack shelf. There was a malfunction of server in one of network cabinets and I wanted to check it. The cooling system broke down and when I opened the rack a rack shelve fell down right on my head. It was not heavy but sharp edge cut skin on my head. The wound was so deep that I could not stop the bleeding and an ambulance was called. Well you know regular and dull day at work ended with five stitches and I will return to work I few days because I lost a lot f blood and the doctor said I have to rest. And I thought that being a stuntman is dangerous.
