Very trusting...

nice display of skill. when i was an overhead crane operator, i used to sneak up on the guys digging steel and knock off their hardhats with the dogs. the would get me back by putting cans of paint on top of the huge heaters and call me over. the cans would explode and leave paint marks on the ceiling (it was over 50 feet high).

Years ago I had to get my forklift card.

The instructor started the class with a demonstration of picking up a dime off a smooth concrete floor with the forks.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

One more reason not to smoke!

Amazing display of precision.

I would've failed miserably. I had a 10k and a Bobcat on my mil license (only one in my section with them) and let me tell ya... A dime off a smooth concrete floor would've shut me up.

That's gotta be an OSHA violation.

That's gotta be an OSHA violation.

The actual lighting of the cigarette probably isn't, but the guy didn't look like he had fall protection, which is.

just watched it again......
NO doubt in my mind that the camera guy (OR someone out of view) HAD to be giving the operator the ole hand signals for "c'mon...C'mon.. OK !!! "

Guess I'm not the first to think of that one.
I used to drive forklift in this bottle factory.
Got bored one day, started doing silly things with it. Ended by picking up a quarter, putting it into a dixie cup, then picking up the dixie cup and placing it on top of a post.

The key to the whole trick is dropping the forks, tilting the tower forward, gently placing some but not all of the weight of the fork on the coin, then backing up a bit. It'll flip the coin up onto the edge of the tip of the fork like tiddlywinks. From there short sharp drops of the forks will drop the coin in the cup, then you push the cup to the post, wiggle the forks a few times till the cup sort of smooshes up onto the fork, then carefully jarring the forks again to get the cup back off the forks onto the post.

Yes, I can do it with a dime, too. Bigger coins are easier though. I'm a wuss. When somebody asked to see it I usually used a quarter.

Hey, it was a safer sport than Industrial Forklift Jousting. Now THAT was FUN!

I doubt there's much of an OSHA in Russia (or other Slovak nation). Hell there's barely any driving restrictions... you seen them fuckers drive?
