In my college days, I was working a part time job at Montgomery Wards in 
Shreveport LA.  I had to clear out a storage area and in that area was a 
box of about 25 six foot florescent bulbs.  As I walked down a set of 
wooden stairs, I stumbled and let loose the whole box.  As they tumbled 
down the stairs, all I could do was run back up the stairs.

I think every employee in the store came running, it was quite the show. 
  Every single bulb had broken.
