When the first set of racks came down, it took down the other racks too.

A spotter would have helped indeed, but the fact the car was sticking out in clear view for at least a good 5 to 6 seconds, and a forklift going like 15km/h should have been able to easily stop in time.

Clearly, the warehouse should be at fault for not taking the measures to protect the corners of these rackings close to high traffic areas. There are these upright guards now available to protect these corners in case a forklift loses control and clips a corner similar to what happened in the video. Take a walk around Richmond IKEA warehouse and they're placed along high traffic areas (i worked there).  | |

I've been working in warehouses for over 12 years now. In that time, I have seen all sorts of things people have tried to prevent racks from getting hit, yet they still do. Those things you posted, they are bolted to the ground. Most of them are bolted down by 4 bolts. so let's review this. 5000 lb emplty forklift vs rack guard bolted down to the ground by four 1/2 inch bolts.
You sir deserve a double fail.

It's better than nothing. Yes these guards can still be knocked out but these act like barricades to help absorb impacts from all types of forklifts. And if you had any common sense you'd know that an unprotected racking system can easily bend/sustain a damage from a light nudge even from an small electric powered forklift.

Would these rack guards have been enough to prevent the racks from coming down in the first video?

Actually, I'm wondering if the racks were secured properly. There are racks where the rails are NOT bolted to each other but rather only to the vertical posts, which would explain why everything fell over. Must've been scary to find 2000 glass bottles raining down onto you.
So much damage for such a light nudge.  And yes, the crash barricades probably would've taken enough of the bump to prevent damage to the posts.
Forklifts are not the easiest thing to use from my understanding, the controls are somewhat different from a car. My friend once took out a 1/2" glass door (front door of a Cold Beer + Wine store too ) because he accidentally nudged it during a very slow turn.

In some IKEA warehouses, there are double barricades along the corners in high traffic areas. They may/may not protect the racking system from this idiot in the video but we don't really know since there are also several factors why a racking system can come down fast like unknown bent frames on the inside and possibly extremely heavy loads on the top tier. Regardless, it's pretty obvious that these rack guards are necessary for visual, safety, and insurance purposes.

Forklifts are not the easiest thing to use from my understanding, the controls are somewhat different from a car. My friend once took out a 1/2" glass door (front door of a Cold Beer + Wine store too ) because he accidentally nudged it during a very slow turn. | From watching the first video, it looks like these were the racks where the horizontal beams have tabs that slide into the verticle post.
Most forklifts are pretty much the same. You have a throttle, a brake, and soemthing to steer with. But the actual driving of them might be hard to grasp in the begining, especially if you are driving a Raymond style like the one in the video.
As for going back to the racks collapsing, keep in mind that each pallet probably weighs quite a bit. Even the slightest bend in the upright rack will bring that section down.
Watched the video again, the boxes are 12 on a layer and 4 high.
Assuming they are 9x1L, that makes each box around 10 lbs each. So, each pallet is around 535 lbs.
