      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.

    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…

        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

    Forklifts were doing better than I thought, until it tipped over.

    50 ton loading capacity × 3 + 100 ton steel = a 400 ton problem

    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!
