Dangerously Loaded Cargo	comment	When a load is improperly secured in the vehicle carrying it and subsequently endangers or kills when it comes loose. In a workplace, this is a form of No OSHA Compliance and likely to result in an argument when one character refuses to follow protocol out of laziness or because they're in a rush, foreshadowing the danger. While the danger is usually caused by incompetence or laziness, a worn-out tie-down or unknown broken anchor point can be just as dangerous. See No Seatbelts for when it's the characters themselves who aren't able to be properly secured. Fell Off the Back of a Truck is something entirely different, though debris actually falling off the back of a truck and becoming an obstacle do fit here. Compare Nitro Express, when the contents of the cargo are explosively dangerous.

Dangerously Loaded Cargo / int_28c6afce	comment	Thomas & Friends: During "A Bad Day for Harold the Helicopter", Percy is stuck at a broken signal and Harold is called in to take the mail. His pilots suggested taking each piece of mail one at a time but Harold insisted upon taking all the mail at once because he'd have to take multiple trips. However, this ends up causing him to crash because the giant bundle of mail ended up being too heavy for him to carry.

Dangerously Loaded Cargo / int_4776861e	comment	Theodore Tugboat: In "Theodore and the Unsafe Ship", Theodore is tasked with docking Cabot, a scruffy and rough cargo ship who is very careless with his cargo. When Theodore inspects Cabot's deck, Cabot's cargo looks as if it's about to fall off. Theodore's job is to make sure that ships are safe before bringing them in, and the closer Theodore looked, the less safe Cabot seemed. Cabot's cargo falls off his deck and Theodore has to collect it to prevent any possible collision with other boats.

Dangerously Loaded Cargo / int_677b999d	comment	Deadliest Catch: Due to the extreme conditions the crab boats have to operate in, the crab pods must be meticulously stacked and thoroughly tied down, partly to keep the boat balanced in the water and partly to ensure that a large swell or wave doesn't send poorly stacked/secured pods falling overboard or onto the crew, which would likely be fatal as they are very heavy. Every boat takes this very seriously since it's such an important safety issue, and multiple episodes have shown crew (especially greenhorns) getting reamed by the captain and/or other crewmates for not doing it properly.

Gorman, the (very green) commanding officer of the Marines for the mission, gets knocked out by some falling cargo aboard the APC while Ripley is driving it recklessly to rescue the surviving Marines after their first foray into the hive. With Sgt. Apone falling in the hive, Cpl. Hicks is left in charge. He gladly defers to Ripley, thanks to her prior experience with the titular creatures. She orders the site to be nuked from orbit, much to Burke's dismay, setting off the second act plot of Burke attempting to smuggle aliens back inside of Ripley and Newt. Quite the chain of events thanks to one unsecured container.

When Jack figures out how to escape Davy Jone's locker, he starts running from one side of the Black Pearl to the other with the crew accompanying him to get it to capsize. Barbossa heads below deck and orders the rest of the crew to unstow the heavy cargo and cut the gun deck's cannons loose since everything being properly stored and tied down was preventing the ship from capsizing. With the additional shifting weight from the loose cargo and cannons, the Black Pearl is able to fully capsize, although two crew members are killed in the process; one of whom is crushed by one of the main deck's cannons as it careens across the ship.
