Someone who used to certify forklift operators at the place I work used this video as part of the training.

I took forklift training last year and that video would have been a great part of the class.

Since my training day, I haven’t been on one since.

Nice to see Klaus still driving his forklift, headless. Funniest video in a long time.

That was the video I thought of immediately.

Back in the days when I was a happy little cog in the corporate machine I got more call ins and filled out more paperwork because of fork lifts then anything else.

I've seen some damaging screwups with a forklift although none injurious - large store windows punched through, collisions with cars, cracking a building fire sprinkler vertical standpipe, smashing a building fire sprinkler nozzle, a deformed light pole, smashed overheads, destroyed merchandise, etc.

At the end of the day it all boiled down to the same root cause; employers don't want to pay for talent so you get an idiot instead.

I thought that video was astonishingly entertaining, some Freeper sent that link to me a few years back.

It reminded me a little bit of that LOX (Liquid Oxygen) Safety Training film I saw back in the Seventies when I was in the US Navy. It was a great and effective way to poke a hole through the thick, young male skulls of ours and introduce some safety knowledge to save our own worthless lives.
