Cheese worker trapped is protected by cage on FLT

Post by wendolene26 »

This incident highlights the importance of having protective cages on forklift trucks. The truck didn't fall over, rather the racking round about him collapsed, but it was the protective cage that prevented serious injury... or worse.

Reason: The word play on cheese has been moved to the comedy section, so as not to seem insensitive and to keep the comedy and safety separate
You are only a millimetre or a millisecond away from the next incident.

I saw 'cheese worker', 'trapped' and 'cage' and thought, that's what you get for trying to build a better mouse trap.
