Hi.
I got that pic in a series of rather hazardous an painful ways to injure oneself, unfortunately can't find it at the moment.

Really reminds me of a true story one of my friends told me.
He woked as a fork-lift operator in a large warehouse and he and he's buddies used to compete who can load or unload a container fastest. The others were timing the performance as one of them grabbed the loading papers, ran to the fork-lift (true LeMans style), drove to the other side of the building and through the flap doors to the dock. The drivers always opened the back doors so it was just a quick braking and the first pallet was on the back of the container.
It wasn't really clear what happened one time, as one feller choose the wrong door (one next to the correct one) and drowe the forklift and the pallet right off the dock. There was something really light on that pallet so the forks were buried into the asphalt as the pallet and everything on it just gave away. The guy was severely injured and the fork-lift was obviously scrap as they had to cut-weld the boom and the rest of the vehicle was in a pretty bad shape too.
For some reason there was a ban for such racing activities immediately.
Regards
Sam
