On the night of April 4th, a worrying accident happened in Maoming, Guangdong. A fast-moving motorcycle hit a forklift, and the motorcycle driver bounced off and fell to the ground and died on the spot.
If both sides and bystanders pay more attention, this tragedy can be avoided. From the video of the accident, you can also see a young man standing by.
It can be said that there were three people at the scene. As long as one person can raise some safety awareness, this tragedy can be avoided. Unfortunately, none of the three people involved could do it, and a young life was lost.
If motorcycle drivers can slow down and put on helmets, this tragedy can be avoided.
There will be a lot of uncertainty in driving at night, so you really can't drive too fast at night, and you can't let your guard down because few people usually take the road.
From the surveillance video, we can see that the speed of the motorcycle is still very fast, even if there is a vehicle in front, it can't slow down, so when you see the joystick of the forklift, it's too late to avoid it.
The driver didn't wear a helmet yet, and the motorcycle driver fell to the ground again after being bounced, failing to get the corresponding safety protection and died on the spot. If he had a helmet, he might still be alive.
This tragedy can also be avoided if the forklift driver makes some warnings about the current road before the operation.
As a forklift driver, you should know what kind of damage the two arms of the forklift will cause to passers-by, so you should do some protection before work, such as using some warning signs to remind passers-by at how many meters.
If passers-by see warning signs, they will slow down or detour to avoid unnecessary injuries. If motorcycle drivers see the warning signs on the road, they will definitely slow down in advance, so it won't be so serious.
Instructors should turn the lights in their work area brighter so that passers-by can clearly see the boom of your forklift, so that passing vehicles will naturally slow down.
If the man in white standing by can stop the driver when he sees the motorcycle, all this may be avoided.
In the video, I noticed that the man in white had seen the motorcycle coming in this direction when he opened the trunk door of the truck to let the forklift unload. At this time, if he can raise his hand to signal the motorcycle to stop, everything may be in time.
And he just stood there stupidly, watching all this happen, watching this tragedy happen, speechless.
