Darwin Awards Winner of 2000 – Death While Filming a Safety Video

It seems that ironic safety related deaths are in abundance these days. Taken from the 2000 Darwin Awards, it seems a safety demonstration went wrong when, on camera, a man was demonstrating the proper forklift safety techniques. Unfortunately, he did not practice proper forklift safety precautions. He was thrown from the forklift while exceeding the proper forklift speed and of course, not wearing a seatbelt.

Remember guys, wear a seatbelt! FOLLOW THE FORKLIFT SAFETY RULES
