well, not a true "jackknife"  but the other day I had a little "loading
accident."

Some background, I was loading 8 pallets of books on a truck at my house.
The driver wouldn't let me stack a pallet on another pallet.  The load was
about 2" to long in the truck to get the door to close.  So I put an empty
pallet on the forklift and tried to get a "running start" to push the
pallets in a little.  What happened was pretty funny.

Check out the pics...

Note, all 4 wheels of the fork lift where in the air.  The pallet was
holding one end up and the rear weights were wedged on the concrete in the
back.

So, anyone else have any "Opps" photos to share?
