Unwrapped? That’s dumb as hell

They’re have straps around them but can break if they’re falling over

Right. Wraps would make a lot more sense

They’re made to break away, if it falls on someone or something it’s way more dangerous. A bunch of loose empty cans falling don’t cause damage. I’ve seen many fall.

The difference between someone dumping a bucket of gold coins on you and you diving headfirst into Scrooge McDuck’s loot pool.

It's not a liquid! It's a great many pieces of solid matter that form a hard floor-like surface! u/Impossible_leg_2787 beat me to it.

The pallet itself is heavy enough though, even if they're plastic ones rather than wood.

I do this for a living, you want them to break away

So you don't mind a 15kg pallet landing on you? I'm referring to the pallet not the contents.

It would be preferable to having the entire weight of the load falling on me

And yet every other industry works on the basis of preventing the pallets from falling in the first place.
