Any accident foreseen in this frame?

While a lift truck was unloading cargos off a truck, its left front wheel got completely stuck up in the gravel of the ground. The truck driver is about to pull it out with a wire rope whose one end is fixed to the left pole of the mast. Now what accident do you foresee occurring in this frame?

This is the accident resulted!

The truck driver started to pull out the lift truck. But because he pulled it from a higher position and sideways, the lift truck was pulled down with the operator sitting in the operator's seat. He was crushed to death under the head guard.

Tips for forestalling similar accidents
1.	Provide safe working conditions for lift truck operation beforehand such as spreading out steel plates on the soft ground in this case.
2.	If there is no other way to bail out a stuck lift truck than pulling with a wire rope, hook one end of the wire rope to a "draw pin" provided at a counterweight of the lift truck and pull it out in the rear direction.
