I was channeling out a giant dining room, and had a 1x1 garbage dump near the edge of the pit.  I designated all the stone to be scrapped while the dining room was being carved.  First, let me explain the setup:

This is the first Zlvl-
XXXXXXXXXXXX
  XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX
       X>X
       X>g
       X>X
       X>X
       XXX
       X<X

And this is the last Z level-
XXXXXXXXXXXX
  XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX
        XX
        XX
        XX
        XX
        <<

The two up staircases were connected, so dwarves would go to the bottom Zlevel pick up some ston, and walk down the hallway.

This is when I noticed the reports.  All my haulers were being crushed by rocks,  with seemingly no explanation.  Then I realized the dwarves were dropping the stone one tile to the left for some inexplicable reason, pelting the dwarves below.  Three dwarves were killed!

Dump zone next to any open space will have dwarves chucking stuff into it without regard for their or others' lives

It's more they're oblivious dummies.

I dunno.  Seems malicious to me.

No, they're damn drunk all the time.
Go ahead and get wasted, throw rocks from a tall building, and tell me you wouldn't hit somebody.

They're pretty much doing exactly what you told them to. What's got you all bothered?

[Ozfer]

I'm just kidding around .  Although your right, being drunk doesn't combine well with heavy lifting.

+1 to the theory: Everyone in Dwarf Fortress is drunk. Even the overseer.
