When will we learn that forklifts aren't meant as lifting platforms for people. This week's news includes another incident where someone used a forklift-supported pallet as an elevated platform - with serious consequences. In this case, the victim is the company owner, so he can't sue his employer for inadequate training. To make matters worse, he was holding his son at the time of the accident. That's not a great lesson for the child. It never ceases to amaze us why someone would try to use a forklift as either a raised work platform or an elevator. Don't people know how to use ladders any more?
