by forklift it can mean a "pallet fork" which is somewhat unlikly to kill someone, or monster that would squish a human like a bug. driver probably caught a flash,too late, felt the bump, glanced at the mess.....panicked the bigger machines will flatten a pickup truck, and because the operators sit so high up, the smaller gear have masts flying flags.

the real irony would be if the forklift opperators phone call, was getting the gears from his supervisor for not bieng fast, enough.
