      I would argue it’s more a problem of lax corporate safety. That’s a ton of weight and those shelves should have been overbuilt as hell. They should have also been regularly checked for sagging and wear.

        It was his own company, so at least his recklessness didn’t kill someone who was innocent in the making of the death trap.

    I feel sorry for the guy. To be crushed by multiple 40kg blocks of anything isn’t funny.

    On a lighter side: one of the reasons that people prepare those traditional cheeses is out of love. Death is death but at least he died doing something that he likely enjoyed - cheeses, that bring joy to families out there, having their meals. May he rest in peace.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    An Italian man has been crushed to death under thousands of wheels of a Parmesan-style cheese, authorities said.

    Giacomo Chiapparini, 74, was buried when a shelf broke in his warehouse in the Lombardy region on Sunday, firefighter Antonion Dusi told AFP.

    The collapse created a domino effect bringing down thousands of wheels, which weigh about 40kg (84lbs) each.

    Some of the wheels reportedly fell about 10m (33ft) and a local resident told Italian media the collapse sounded “like thunder”.

    Speaking to Italian media, a neighbour described Mr Chiapparini as “very supportive… and generous”.

    The warehouse, located in Romano di Lombardia, about 50km (31 miles) east of Milan, contained a total of 25,000 wheels of Grana Padano, a hard cheese which resembles Parmesan and is popular in Italy.


    I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    I feel sad that this what news have become…why is this news worth of some many articles…Plenty of other deaths by industrial accidents that they don’t get this kind of treatment…

    I know, it’s a funny way to go…but come on…specially the family I don’t think will be very happy about this.
