Wonder if insurance would cover that? If not just burn your whole house down and start again.

I cant get over the fact that Ghost Rider is having a blast lool. First thing I did when I started collecting was make sure I had secured cabinets. Especially living in earthquake California, there is no telling when one might hit.

I'd just like to know what it sounded like.

Looks like one of the glass panels in the middle has given way, and the damage has cascaded down the line.
Laugh it up. Fact is, toughened glass can do this, even under zero load. I had a back panel in one of my display cases just shatter one day. Google "spontaneous glass breakage". That was fun cleaning that up, pulling apart a 6' tall display case and replacing the back panel with perspex.
The good thing about a detolf is they're so small you can replace the shelves with an appropriate thickness of green edge perspex with no noticeable sag. If you're that keen. Maybe if you collect customs it's worth it. Something to think about.

I'm thinking if your living in an earthquake zone and there was one collectibles would be the last of your worries...
I've always wondered how many actual statues and prints that still exist after all of these natural disasters

No different than anywhere else. I'll take earthquakes over tornadoes or hurricanes any day. There are small earthquakes all the time that can knock stuff over, so it is something to consider. Especially for high dollar collectables on sub-par shelving.
Some I'm sure, or neglect. Mostly stupidly or thoughtlessness I think.

I guess the point I was trying to make was being prepared for things like earthquakes...so there's no need to worry when one does hit.
But I dont think being prepared would have helped here, seems like poor judgement to me. I mean some of those statues I bet weigh over 10 lbs + each. Line up 4-5 of them on one shelf and you're pushing your luck...
