Licensed driver here. Seat belts are essenial for safety but this video fails to mention the very first falure; the load is being transported too high. The load needs to be transported nearer the floor; 2 inchs off the floor is about right in order to keep the center of gravity working in favor. By carrying the load that hgh the triangle of gravity is elongated and has raised the cener of gravity to a seriously ineffective level. Also, (not sure video is sped up) speed of travel is excessive.
even though there was a seat belt, no one would notice to wear it cuz or being forgotten or after years of work they think they can manage the forklift pretty without a seat belt, it's just like riding a motocycle without a helmet but you wouln't even notice
I remember driving a forklift years back, no safety instruction, no license, and no seat belt. I never took risks, but now I realize how important it is to have a seat belt!!

we lost a worker several years ago when he jumped from the cab as some bales of paper were falling from a pile. sadly he was not wearing the belt.

yup, totally agree with you. though he also should've also worn a helmet. the reversed douche-hat won't protect against much impact. ;)
