    There is a significant portion of the video missing in this. It stops just before the guy gets crushed, and there is still more danger to color after. Watched this for my forklift certification in '95.

    I've had to sit through 100's of safety films in the industry I work. The old Cat. ones are some of the best least boring I've seen.

    I half expected a freeze-frame as the guy separates from the truck as it goes over the pier, with his name then coming up on screen... "Starring Brock Taylor as Frank Smith"
    Then the film resume to show the splashdown.

    "A real pro would never fail to take into account loosely secured containers and he would use special care when working at this height......" You mean like lifting his forks so he doesn't pull the entire stack over when he backs out?

    6:33 this is the most important thing out of this video. You can't trust anyone to watch your back. Besides it's yours. Take care of it.

    Someone really should re-edit this to include the shake hands with danger music whenever the bad things happen.

    Man that steamy saxophone had me feeling confused when he was talking about how some men just sense the color red.
