One of the first lessons any lifeguard , no matter how strong a swimmer they are, is taught is that you can not save a fellow man who is drowning if you are drowning yourself.
Lets not be ashamed that we must charge enough to do good work when we train, but lets all be honest enough to give a fair days work for a fair days wage.
and gee wizz, from Joseph_h's copy of the US reg, I would say that in fact, it IS tip over injuries that we hope to prevent by the use of operator restraint systems. "is intended to assist the operator in reducing the risk of entrapment of the operator 's head and/or torso between the truck and ground in the event of a tip-over."
I would also say that we should all be careful of what we really ask for, as soon enough there will be no need for forklift operators, AGVs will be the economical and technical answer to the question of how safe can we make it for the workers.
