Any accident foreseen in this frame?

An operator worker has parked a lift truck at a right angle to a truck on a road having inclination of 6 degrees. He helps unfasten the ropes of the truck that have fixed the cargos. Now what accident do you foresee occurring in this frame?

This is the accident resulted!

The lift truck started to slowly move forward, as it was parked facing downward on the slope. One of the fork tines thrust the operator against the truck body and injured him.

Tips for forestalling similar accidents
1.	Lower the fork to the ground, apply the parking brake tightly, stop the engine and pull out the engine starting switch key, whenever leaving the operator's seat.
2.	If it becomes necessary to park a lift truck on a slope, place chocks before or behind the wheels, as the case may be.
