Carrying double stacked pallets

Is there a written rule for whether or not you are allowed to carry double stacked pallets on Reach/Counterbalance. My interpretation of this procedue is as long as the top pallet is not over the load guard it may be safe to do so but a risk assessment would need to be carried out..

Even if the pallet isnt over the load guard it could still shift or fall off to the side as it isnt forked to the truck and nothing would be holding it from shifting and falling off the side,especially on turns and such,sounds like a recipe for a accident waiting to happen....
