When I was trained on a forklift the direction was to stay inside the cab and keep all extremities inside too when everything goes sideways.

I've had some sketchy shit happen before, I like the tuck and pray. Cover your head and neck and try to keep your arms and legs inside.

Is the camera man an NPC? I’m not gonna just stand two feet away as soon as hundreds of tons of steel starts shifting weight…

It was fairly obvious in which direction they're going to fall.

You think that until some piece of metal that was under tension springs out and flies into your face.

Is that the one where a cable snapped and everyone on the deck was cut in half? I don’t know what but I remember finding that extremely funny and laughing when it happened. Got some mean looks in the theater

Oh thank fuck I wasn't the only one. The faces and cgi blending in the scene were just hilarious.

50 ton loading capacity × 3 + 100 ton steel = a 400 ton problem

That was one of the heartier "FUCK"s I've heard in awhile

I would have lifted up, then pulled the train out, then lowered and pulled manageable quantities.

Actually, everything should be done by crane, but I guess management told them to use the forklifts cuz getting and assembling one on site costs a lot.

No, but tell that to Bob from management, who is not an engineer.

I've been in situations like that. You just don't do it. Also, explain why in written form and have that stamped and submitted.

This sounds like you're describing "The Handmaid's Tale", which is not what this thread is about.

Wrong tab. And half asleep posting after falling into bed after work. Deleted.
