.....might have killed himself; or worse, somebody else.

[Dishevelled Den]

The mind boggles

Definitely a candidate for a Darwin Arward

I've never driven a pallet truck (which is what features in the video), but I can say I've never encountered a forklift that could generate that much centrifugal force even when intentionally spun "on the spot".

He is a pratt, par excellance! :-?

[Tony H]

Looks like he thinks he's at the fair on the waltzers, t1t 

[KillerWatt]

But is he though?

Assuming the video is authentic....... you have someone stood there with a mobile phone cam, so it is obviously staged at that point.

Second point, the "stunt" was pulled in a space that was three times plus the circumference the pallet truck made....only person who's getting hurt if it goes wrong is the main star of the video (the video that is obviously pre-arranged).

I hardly believe that .... I thought you'd done everything!!!! or, at least, knew someone that had!!

When i was a steel fabricator we had an old Caterpillar truck with a clutch & gears, if you wanted you could get off & it would just drive it's self. One day Brian thought it a good idea to put it on full lock & get off. Now this truck was going round & Brian walked away from it by a few feet. The truck just started to go faster & faster. Brian started to panic as at any moment the truck would've turned over, so he ran towards it & tried to knock it out of gear. But the forks were raised around a foot off the ground. I can still see him doing a hop. skip & a jump over the forks every time they came around  He did eventually hit the iginition swtich & it stopped, he was very fortunate that day 2.5 tonne truck Vs man I was ready to run for the phone

As active as my lifestyle is, I've never personally encountered an electric pallet truck.

There is a good chance that someone I know has had experience with such hardware, but I couldn't say for sure as I tend to worry about the house of KW before I worry or get jealous of what others are doing.

I have .... not driven one ... but encountered one! (usually at a great rate of knots carrying Quality Street)
