How hosed would he have been if he landed on the lane line? The inside of those things is a cable under tension.

I feel like if a real forklift operator were doing this, you’d see them enter and exit the building, with the ATM and the time lock safe in the back office, in one flowing motion, despite the forklift being obviously larger than the doors.

He came so close to landing on the lane marker. He could have really hosed himself up.

The plastic cushions the fall because it catches a lot of water and will decelerate you - might scratch you up and I guess could give a concussion if you hit it square with your head. Might depend how tight they tensioned it but the plastic keeps you mostly from hitting it directly. Also keep in mind if you land on it the whole line flexes and catches water too, so it has some deceleration.

I’ve seen people land one one from a 3m platform but not with their head. But it prooooooobably wouldn’t do anything too serious. If you caught your head perfectly between the buoys you might be able to break your neck, maybe?


E: he’d almost certainly get castrated feet first though, and shred his thighs.

The fact that he's down there with a sawsall and not a single other tool, toolbox, or thing to sit on to do some serious work points to that.

-The forklift hit the door because the driver didn't properly take his vehicle's turning radius into account
-A forklift's blades should be no more than 10 inches off the ground while traveling
-No one made use of available equipment to move the ATM, increasing the risk of straining/tearing.

Overall, shoddy workmanship that wouldn't fly in my facility

That article just describes the video and also seems to imply that there was a ball in the cannon that was fired into a crowd of people.

The cannon was filled with gunpowder and the guy had three fingers blown off. So thanks for inlining it, guy.

Yeah, but you don't want to bring a furniture dolly or a Johnson bar to a forklift fight, that's just a losing strategy.

You do climb into the fan inlet case for normal maintenance to the fan blade and hub though. Also to do free-rotation checks

Yeah and you have plenty of time if someone decides to turn on the APU and start trying to turn on the engine. Its pretty hard to get accidentally killed by a turned off turbine engine.

If a turbine isn't running, would dropping something in like that still nick/dent blades enough to warrant their replacement?

For turbines that aren't already rusted junk, I mean.

They’re not normally encountered in the vertical condition, either. It’s hard to drop something into one that’s perpendicular to gravity.

I know he's got a lot of forward momentum, but I'd be pretty tragic if he pushed off the wrong way and came flying back, landing on that diving platform below.

Or...anything else in that direction really.


You know, with how many stickers end up on helmets, I'm not surprised some dudes just don't know any better.
