Forklifts are much more dangerous than you might think. In fact, recently an Arizona resident was arrested after attempting to use a forklift as a deadly weapon in an attack. Even when forklifts aren’t being used like weapons, they can still cause fatalities, especially when they’re being operated by untrained individuals. Forklifts can cause crushing injuries, fractures, broken bones, cuts, TBIs, and more. Luckily, with the right training and mindfulness, the risks of these injuries are greatly reduced.
