If no rear overhead support uprights are present the careless operation of the reach truck can slide the main body (just above the steering tiller) of the tractor under a load beam therefore pinning the driver against the operator compartment in a shear action. Many manufacturers offer optional uprights to prevent this prolem. I have seen and heard of this happening and is mostly due to driver error.
