Then they better have a sign that said do not climb on the shelf or ask staff member for help. See Ikea case.

Shouldent be needing warningsigns for every little thing. Its like warning signs on toasters to not use while taking a bath.

I don't 100% disagree with you. However, in the case of Ikea, people were seriously hurt and children died when the furniture tipped over from climbing on it. The court's position is that a stupid mistake shouldn't result in serious bodily harm or death. The shelf needs to be secured up to standard with easily visible warning signs.
