I think my favorite part is how calm forklift driver remains even at 45°
If the load is out of control, the safest place to be is in the cab.
When I was trained on a forklift the direction was to stay inside the cab and keep all extremities inside too when everything goes sideways.
I’ve had some sketchy shit happen before, I like the tuck and pray. Cover your head and neck and try to keep your arms and legs inside.
This knowledge probably costs an arm and a leg.
No point in panic if you can’t do anything about the situation.
This is a situation where shock is actually a helpful response
Taking the “one trip from the car to inside” mentality quite a bit too far.
Is the camera man an NPC? I’m not gonna just stand two feet away as soon as hundreds of tons of steel starts shifting weight…
It was fairly obvious in which direction they’re going to fall.
You think that until some piece of metal that was under tension springs out and flies into your face.
You ever see that one scene from Ghost Ship?
Is that the one where a cable snapped and everyone on the deck was cut in half? I don’t know what but I remember finding that extremely funny and laughing when it happened. Got some mean looks in the theater

Oh thank fuck I wasn’t the only one. The faces and cgi blending in the scene were just hilarious.
Was it as good as the German forklift safety video?
Oh, Staplerfahrer Klaus! Link for anyone who needs context, the beginning seems normal but things really derail after a while so keep watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJdCJMyBi5I
Well said; exactly my thoughts
Forklifts were doing better than I thought, until it tipped over.
Steel’s unloaded, boss!
Can I go home now?
Tandem fork-lifting should be an Olympic sport.
“FUCK!”
Was that an “ah fuck” or an “oh fuck?” 🤔
Ah, the many sounds of dispair.
50 ton loading capacity × 3 + 100 ton steel = a 400 ton problem
Hey, that disaster you ordered arrived!
Someone didn’t do their statics homework
That was one of the heartier "FUCK"s I’ve heard in awhile
I would have lifted up, then pulled the train out, then lowered and pulled manageable quantities.
Actually, everything should be done by crane, but I guess management told them to use the forklifts cuz getting and assembling one on site costs a lot.
Does a crane cost more or less than this fuck up?
No, but tell that to Bob from management, who is not an engineer.
I’ve been in situations like that. You just don’t do it. Also, explain why in written form and have that stamped and submitted.
I’m going to say less. They can do it by hand now!
Also, at the very least, should’ve had forklifts on opposite sides

Im kinda curious where you were trying to post this lol. What book?
There’s a book?
It’s more of a graphic novel actually.
Id love to read it!
I’m gonna wait for the movie
This sounds like you’re describing “The Handmaid’s Tale”, which is not what this thread is about.
Wrong tab, I’m guessing.
Wrong tab. And half asleep posting after falling into bed after work. Deleted.
Wrong post??
