Alright.....I`ll run the forklift tonight....

As funny as that video looks it happened at my place of work. Of course I will mention that I am a forklift operator but it did not happen to me although I have had a few mishaps myself, it comes with the job and something is bound to happen across a span of driving one for 28 years. A fellow worker at the time was picking parts and due to the weight of the metal parts in the containers that were stacked in the shelving had collapsed a short row of shelving. The guy was lucky he wasn`t killed because the square tubing and other parts that had literally buried his lift that was parked in the middle of the row of shelves. He was off the lift at the time it happened and managed to get out of the isle before it went over. He claims he didn`t hit the shelf but I had figured he bumped one of the legs and kinked it. I didn`t see it happen since I was a couple isles over but what a sound that approximately 5 tons of steel makes when it hits the floor. The crew we had on night shift at the time spent a couple hours picking up thousands of parts. The other lucky part was it was a short isle of a run of 4 shelves and not the long run of 20. Thanks for making me think of the older days when safety on the job wasn`t such a big factor it is now.
