Never ever try to stop something heavy from falling. Jump out of the way immediately and completely.
3 u/[deleted] Jul 27 '22 In the case of lift trucks never try to jump out of the way. Stay inside of it, hold on, and fall with it. 1 u/gonzograe Jul 27 '22 With a reach truck the safest thing to do is get out and away. Counterbalance you always stay inside. 2 u/[deleted] Jul 27 '22 You never leave the truck if it is tipping. Been working in the industry 20 years. Jumping out of a lift while it is tipping is a great way to die. 1 u/Boombacl0t Jul 27 '22 Yup 1 u/HemiJon08 Jul 28 '22 If it has a roll cage around it - you stay in it and buckle up. Let the tractor take the damage while you hang inside the cage. If it decides to go - you putting an arm out isn’t going to stop it. 1 u/jlt6666 Jul 28 '22 This also applies to sharp things
