This is no joke and trucks pulling away from the dock with a forklift inside happens more often than you think with serious injury of death often the result. Been developing and construction large distribution facilities for over 30 years and its pretty routine today to be installing trailer restraints to prevent such.
Seen this several times. Once an employee was in a trailer and a switch driver hooked up and hauled him to another warehouse about 1/2 mile away.
You dont have to work around a loading dock long to see some really dumb stuff happen. Lift operators driving through closed dock doors and off the dock entirely, dock levelers being used wrong and getting caught by a lift on the way out, drivers putting their forks through the front and sides of the trailer, truck drivers wrecking dock skirts, people not chocking trailer wheels or using restraints and pushing the trailer off the dock as the lift enters, all just part of the fun. Nobody notices the good truck drivers and lift operators but the bad ones get plenty of attention.
Back up and flyin’ .......HOW APPROPRIATE!! is THAT!!! ❤
I am much better today.
?He MIGHT pull that out but from what I know it’s going to end shortly ? it might work if that floor rises fast enough to speed out of what’s about to drop. ???

@Lawless Good to hear your feeling better?
The first burnout I ever did was in a purple 68 road runner.
I was in the third grade and couldn’t see over dash when stomping on that awesome go pedal.

Improperly installed trailer restraint.
I couldn't count the major repairs we have performed on warehouses from brain dead forklift operators. I have scabbed countless steel columns from being stabbed by a fork and in one instance a 10" square tube column was completely sheared. Required setting jacks to lift the structure demo to the footing so we could replace the entire column. the operator was fired on the spot and it cost the tenant a good chunk of change.
My first car was a ‘69 Charger, stomped that pedal many times.
Lucky boy you were, no doubt effected your whole outlook!!
Been there done that, as the forklift operator. Experience rating: 0/5 stars
Check it out! Take 5 seconds and then be sure to scroll all the way down to see the answer.
The School of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania conducted a survey called, "What really do you see?"
Study the picture for 5 seconds. What do you notice? Think about it; what is odd?
Now scroll down.
Here are the results of the Survey:
1 100% of Male Naval Aviators failed this test. They were distracted by the woman's large bosom
2 100% of the female Naval Aviators also failed this test. They were distracted by the wide choice of doughnuts.
The answer :
There's a mouse on one of the doughnuts. Don't tell me you saw it. I won't believe you!!
And this is why we specify dock-locks every time.
He’s a cutie for darn sure ? You’ll never understand that grandpapa feeling till you get one, a unique unto itself life event on this earth! ?

Man that just makes me sick. Over twenty years as a Firefighter Paramedic and some of the worst cases I have ever taken care of are burn patients. That person changed their life forever in those split seconds. You just can’t fix stupidity and I guess that is job security for me but still...
