And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
one of the meatheads in our wearhouse did that, Hit the roof support full tilt dead center. Didn't hurt the beam other than knocking some paint off ,but curled the fork tip up and bent the carriage . Later in the day the Safety coordinator was out turning the speed Way down on all the lift trucks .
Thirty plus years ago at the power plant, there was a young buck named Striker. Helpful, interested and ambitious. One day there was a small loose nylon rope on the forklift and Striker, for reason unremembered, wrapped it around his small finger and drove off. But, the rope got caught on something, the forklift drove on, the finger stayed behind !!

ReplyDeleteElf- lost shoe
ReplyDeleteWonder if the driver passed the mandatory piss test?
ReplyDeleteI'd call that a drug test!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of POS forks are those? Must be very light duty. The 60" forks on my 8000# forklift would stop the lift dead in it's tracks before bending.
ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteBent fork.
ReplyDeleteAnd a meathead operator.
Now that took skill!
ReplyDeleteAs someone that operated forklifts of various types and sizes for ~40 years, all I can say is… how damn fast was he going?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a stubbed tow to me
ReplyDeleteLooks modified for a peticular load.
ReplyDeleteEl Estupido did that in our warehouse. There's likely a big star in the middle of the front cab glass with hair and blood stuck in it, as well.
