heh, well mrfixit
if a company has a 'hotdog' operator then maybe they should re-evaluate and be paying more attention if they allow him to operate the lift in such a manner.
Now a days most companies i go to do not tolerate that type of lift driving period... they maintain a 0 tolerance rule.
Might see it in the smaller mom and pop businesses because they don't seem to be 'watched' as closely as big businesses. Not saying they aren't monitored at all but it does seem less so than big corporations are. But even that is changing.
When any business operator or owner starts seeing what insurance costs are from injuries no matter where they originate from, they do start paying more attention to the things that cause them. For the cost effect it creates and mostly for the safety of their workers.

ok this kind of got off the subject at hand, sorry for that ZZJASE :o)
