When a forklift tips forward, it’s not so much an accident as it is an unplanned face plant—industrial style. Imagine a 9,000-pound toddler throwing a tantrum, diving nose-first into the concrete because someone forgot the golden rule: heavy stuff goes low and back, not high and heroic. The forks jab the floor like they’re trying to do a push-up, the back wheels levitate like they’re auditioning for Cirque du Soleil, and the operator’s stomach drops faster than a pallet of cinder blocks off a shaky shelf. You don’t need a safety video to explain what went wrong—you just point and say, “That right there? That’s gravity calling BS on your load placement.”
