    OH GOD. I work with fork trucks, and I'm currently training somebody on that same job. The guy is picking it up very slowly, and this just terrified me. Boy I'm going to scold him x666 every time he screws up on it or doesn't beep the horn from now on.

    Holy cow I just watched it again. I must also point out that each box weights about 855lbs where I work at. The combined weight on a rack exceeds 100,000lbs+ easily.

    What are the shelves made of? Wet noodles?

    The part that gets me is the way the support structures give way. Normally, these would be engineered to hold more than twice the actual full load capacity, but these seem to just fall apart with the slightest impact. Those shelves were definitely overloaded to start with. #forklift

    Wow, that looks like a bomb went off after that fiasco. I've been driving forklifts since I was 13 and let me tell you, you can do some damage on them, heh. I tipped over on one once (wasn't my fault actually) and I thought I was gonna die. #forklift

    @maven2k: Yeah I agree. Didn't realize how heavy and hard they were until I hit a bump in my jobs parking lot which caused me to catch air and end up with a bruised pelvis. No suspension travel+rock hard out door tires+16,000 lbs.=world of pain. #forklift

    Quiz! Mike, should you drive the forklift?

    I can and I have…

    No, no, no, no. I said "should you?" You should not drive it. You should not drive the forklift, you understand? #forklift

    I dunno why I find it so amusing, but it almost seemed like the forklift, for that brief instant, became self aware, and in its helpless state could do nothing more than turn on its yellow caution lights. #forklift

    @Kaiser-Machead: "Oh no!" says the forklift, "What have I done!"

    It is then subsequently crushed out by potato-based alcohol for a lifespan that can only rival that of the sperm whale in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    @mattycakes: It's important to note that the forklift, briefly soaking in the sensation of sentience, did not so much feel the pang of regret for what's about to transpire, but rather a deep-seated hatred for its driver, more intense than even that of a Neanderthal man for the smilodon about to consume him. #forklift
