At the VERY, VERY LEAST, you gotta pay attention! Always, be expecting it to move when it shouldn't.

Really does not make a hilll of beans of difference how it happened. The fellow is dead and that is that.

Nope, the dateline for the story was for yesterday.

The incident happened in England and you would know the "Manitou truck" as a type of telehandler.

You are correct... the incident happened 4 June '17. The dateline for this story was for the result of the coroner's report.

Why has it become some difficult for humans to think for themselves? Slick, dangerous winter driving conditions around here, yet one stupid jackarse on your tail after another!

CLEARLY, no evidence at all of using a brain!

of course it matters:shocked: many people can be saved by noting how the accident happened, and never doing that!.. sometimes many people have to learn common sense!..

It’s this guys fault he’s dead. Mistake 1, bringing your dog in the cab. Mistake 2. Failing to set the parking brake. You could say there was other mistakes but it wouldn’t have happened without mistake #2.

My Kubota has 2 gear gear selectors and forward reverse lever on the left side of the steering wheel. A couple of years ago the tractor was warming up and the 2 shifters were in gear and the reverse lever in neutral. I went to throw my coat up behind the seat and it caught on the reverse lever and the tractor jumped backwards into my shop door with the snowblower on. We don't learn everything the first day but I'm much more cautious now.

Watch others, lock any and all safety devices (e brakes, etc), and NEVER trust hydraulics to hold.
All accidents are unfortunate, always put safety first.

My BIL's sister's husband was killed because a rented Bobcat hydraulics failed and crushed him. He was digging a hole and climbed in the hole under the bucket. He was building their new home and she was at work. Came over to find him at the end of the day... tragic.
