Thank you for representing the knowledge. During forklift training the instructor was very deliberate about teaching us that the forklift is half the size and three times the weight of a car. It has the torque to rip out limbs at idle speeds. It does not care about keeping the loads level - that’s our job.

I wish there was footage of a head on collision between a forklift and a car because then folks can see the reality of what a forklift is able to do and the industrial levels of abuse they sustain. The car will be absolutely crumpled. There are no crumple zones on a forklift. There is only the weight and structural framework for lifting a car over its head while remaining balanced the entire time.
