I have seen this very scenario play out at least a half dozen times in my career. GRAVITY is an energy source and can be a fatal form of energy! Here is what happened in this tragedy…
At 4:15 p.m. on July 19, 2021, an employee, 38, was changing the hydraulic line on a forklift. The employee had the forks inadequately propped up so when he disconnected the line the forks and cage fell down on top of him, crushing him to death.
