Sign Failure

RE: Sign Failure

Comments on a related story provided a link to a photo of the errant sign:

... which according to comments was secured to the wall solely with an adhesive.
The wall finish does not appear scarred.

RE: Sign Failure

This was one of the display boards which sits on the floor. Reminds me of the time when my kids were toddlers, and they climbed a bookshelf which was not secured to the wall. Down it came, with both of them under it screaming. We were lucky that time, and neither of them were hurt. Lesson learned, and bookcases secured. For something like this display board, a bit of glue is not enough.

RE: Sign Failure

Our whole office was convinced that this sign was elevated or suspended before seeing the last two posts. Goes to show how misleading news reports can be on engineering matters.
