That's especially important when the weight is lifted higher than the height of the forklift itself. There also appears to be a slight grade that he was going down, forcing the weight even more off-balance. Hence, when he stopped, the car slid off the forks.<br /> <br />Rookie.Shrimpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-8466346250951217632011-07-29T07:32:32.461-05:002011-07-29T07:32:32.461-05:00I'm thinking the forklift driver was trying to...I'm thinking the forklift driver was trying to position the car in a way that it couldn't be driven out of.<br /><br />Something I remember reading that Andre the Giant used to do with his friends sub-compact cars in Europe.
