American Pickers' Robbie Wolfe almost injures crew member in new video as show continues to struggle with low ratings

AMERICAN Pickers' Robbie Wolfe has nearly injured a crew member during a shocking new video.

Robbie, 62, and Jon Szalay, also known as Jersey Jon, took turns carrying Carnegie Steel on their backs before the eye-turning moment occured.

In the first Instagram video, Jon, 60, stood straight as he held the steel beam over his shoulders.

In the following short clip, American Pickers star Robbie crouched with his knees bent and sustained the beam on his back.

Jon yelled out: "Carnegie!"

Robbie grunted: "Carnegie, baby!"

An individual in the background shouted: "Robbie, what are you doing?" as a crew member interrupted the shot.

The crew member, Luchiano, had his hands on the end of the beam when Robbie heaved and flipped the steel bar off his back.

After the beam hit the ground loudly, the Luchiano shook his hands, seethed, and moved away.

Robbie stared at him and said: "What?"

In the comments section, a viewer asked if the crew member hurt himself during the wild stunt.

"Did that hit him? Couldn't tell from the video. That had to hurt if it did," they wrote.

It is unclear if Robbie, Jon, and the rest of the production crew were filming for an episode of their program.

The History Channel show has been struggling in the ratings during its latest season.

Robbie reunited with his brother Mike, 59, and Danielle Colby, 47, as co-hosts for the 25th season premiere in early July.

In mid-July, The U.S. Sun revealed the ratings took a disappointing turn and dropped by 100,000 viewers.

While 918,000 viewers watched the premiere, ratings continued to dip to 803,000 during the installment on July 12.

Near the end of the month, the U.S. Sun also reported that another 100,000 viewers were missing during the July 19 installment, as just 713,000 people tuned in.

The ratings finally ticked up slightly for the July 26 episode with 885,000 viewers watching.

Critics claimed the TV show "was a lot better with" former host Frank Fritz, 57, and used to be a "much more entertaining program" with him in it.

After Frank was fired in 2021, Robbie replaced him and took over his role as Mike's co-host.

Fans have speculated the show might be canceled due to its low ratings.

Over the weekend, Mike added fuel to cancellation rumors when he announced his new project outside of his show.

Robbie's brother revealed he will be seen in an upcoming commercial.

In an Instagram Story, the antique expert shared a snapshot of a dimly lit storage room.

Both sides of the entire floor were filled with rustic wooden barrels.

The wooden gray planks appeared dirty and turned white on the sides.

Mike revealed he was in the middle of "filming a Kentucky tourism commercial."
