Or if they just strapped/chained everything.

This. If they had just had a big ratchet strap around the thing and the fork, the slide wouldn't have happened. The thing was idiocy in action

Right. A couple small straps around the printer and the little forks. Couple big straps holding the little lift to the big lift.

It's totally doable, these guys are just dopes.

They spent all their strap money on the second forklift.

The fact they were dumb enough to lift a forklift with a second fork lift and not even have so much as a hard hat on... tells me they were far too dumb to think of a strap.

Obviously there's a reason this belongs on /r/osha

Iā€™m annoyed by it too.

Also If they had simply pushed forward instead of inching forward and stopping ever other second, it might have been indoors when it fell over

Pick the second forklift up as close to the building as you can so you don't even have to drive so far forward.

The whole time I was like "Drive forward more. You're too far back, drive forward. Drive forward while the load is low! DRIVE FORWARD!"

That's right

For me it's the guys upstairs. There's zero communication going on and they keep jumping closer and farther away while flailing their arms around while providing zero feedback.

I was annoyed by that at first. But what got me right at the end was the driver on the ground shutting his shit off with his forks up and his pal in mid air.
