u/Man_in_the_uk 23h ago

Maybe the brakes failed on the fork lift, he appears to have put some decent effort into manipulating the controls.

He was just pressing random knobs not knowing what they do/s

Yikes, I would hope they at least get something right

u/jboogie07 1d ago

Was thinking the same thing

22

u/Mr06506 1d ago

I presume the handbrake of that forklift does not work, because in fairness he does try and prevent this happening at least twice.

25

u/Dagnyt007 1d ago

You have to use it for it to work.

u/cmcrisp 1d ago

On forklifts the handbrake is on the left side of the dashboard, which you see him grab multiple times

u/cody4prez 1d ago

You can be smart and unlucky or dumb and lucky to be successful. But you can't be dumb and unlucky. This guy has a hard life.

u/axis1331 23h ago

Based on most forklift videos I've seen, this could have definitely turned out way worse. Thought we were going to get a human pancake when it started to roll backward.

1

u/GuitarCFD 21h ago

I mean from the evidence we're given here. There was nothing more than superficial damage to either vehicle and the guy lost not body parts. This went as good as it could have gone given how stupid this guy is.

1

u/Grathorn 1d ago

It could always be worse.

u/MaxAdolphus 1d ago

That’s how you become forklift uncertified.

u/tomJager 1d ago

That assumes he was ever certified in the first place

u/Lurkesalot 1d ago

Why didn't he just stop it with the 10,000 lb vehicle he's driving? 😮‍💨

51

u/344567653379643555 1d ago

He was busy trying to stop it with his body weight. Duh.

u/Frank_Reynolds77 1d ago

Don't let my boss see this, he'll hire him and make him a supervisor.

29

u/AngryAnarchist7 1d ago

Dumbass!!!

26

u/Normadus 1d ago

The real question is why this forklift doesn't have sensors under the seat. it should stop driving 2-3 seconds after getting off the seat

17

u/Padgetts-Profile 1d ago

Yeah the dead man brake is either faulty or has been bypassed.

16

u/Normadus 1d ago

The parking brake doesn't work either, or idiot decided not to use it lol

12

u/Recitinggg 1d ago

You can see his hand go towards the parking brake lever and move it, either just missed or it’s faulty like you said.

3

u/too_late_to_abort 1d ago

Lots and lots of forklifts still chugging along that don't have deadman switches.

I work for a large industrial supply company and we have 8 forklifts in my immediate area and 4 of them don't have a deadman switch.

No it doesn't happen to me. The struggles I face are avoidable, just like this guys. That's what I meant lol

u/BeautifulRapture 1d ago

How did he spend that much time on the forklift after going back to it and not put the handbrake on, what an imbecile.

Holy crap this guy is an idiot. I hope he never drives a forklift again.

u/samppa_j 1d ago

I'm not forklift certified.. but don't they have handbrakes?

1

u/Malibucat48 1d ago

This was definitely a two man job.

1

u/Madhighlander1 1d ago

I am not forklift certified so I don't know for sure but surely to god these things must have a parking brake.

As for the boat trailer, aren't you supposed to keep the triangle blocks under the wheels until after you get it hooked up to whatever is gonna be pulling it?

2

u/throwawaytrumper 1d ago

I’m more of a heavy equipment operator and don’t usually operate little forklifts but every single self driven machine I’ve operated has had a parking brake.

You can tell by this guy wearing sandals, no hard hat or high vis that he’s a stone cold professional who’s evolved past the need for ppe.

1

u/ellisboxer 1d ago

Well time to go home for the day

1

u/wkarraker 1d ago

Wouldn’t it be cool if forklifts would apply the brake if there is no one in the seat? Just a thought.

1

u/AnnualAdeptness5630 1d ago

I refuse to believe it's not staged.

u/hoosyourdaddyo 1d ago

u/relaxyourshoulders 1d ago

The 80’s training video music makes it.

“If the handbrake on a tow motor or other equipment fails, always remember to park a boat in its direction of travel, to prevent a runaway situation. If you don’t have a boat, stop work and speak to a supervisor immediately”

u/extrastupidone 1d ago

This guy has no control over anything in his life.

u/rOnce_Gaming 1d ago

This man def lives a busy life lol. He sets it on challenge mode himself

1

u/BernieTheDachshund 1d ago

I'm trying to understand how the forklift rolls when nobody is in it. I've driven forklifts and none ever moved unless someone is pressing the pedal.

1

u/ThrowawayHowitgoes 1d ago

Pretty sure they forgot the parking break, and could have put the lift in park, or neutral. Would have avoided this whole mishap.
