Paving slab problem

I had a pallet of slabs delivered today.
Here goes with my silly question - Is there a technique for getting them off the pallet? They are stacked vertically secured with banding tape. It seems to me that when I cut the tape they will fall over. Anyone got experience of this?

I have done it by using a prop at one end, positioned to allow the slabs when released to be pushed slightly leaning towards the propped side. Then take the slabs from the opposite side to the prop.Forgotten but not gone.0

You can put a rope around the pallet and slabs. Tying it more loosely than the banding with which the pallet was wrapped. Then cut the banding and you can slide the slabs out as required. Obviously, you would need a substantial piece of rope.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0
