A forklift operator appears with his feet backward - a natural occurrence for him - in the newly published 2011 special edition of the non-fiction Ripley's Believe It or Not! hardcover book.

Ray Gonzales works in Salina with Milton, Georgia-based Exide Technologies, a global lead-acid-battery manufacturer and stored-electrical-energy specialist.

An 11 September news report in the Salina Journal says unusually long ligaments in Gonzales' hips allows him to achieve the weird feat.

Gonzales' dexterity was featured in the Salina newspaper initially in November 2008, a Ripley's newspaper comic strip in February 2009 and Ripley's Human Body book in October 2009.
