Ok, so to make a long story short, I have a friend who works for his dad who runs a lumber mill. They need a forklift (for some reason beyond my comprehension) and my friend mentioned something to me about it. We then got into a very long, intense conversation about playing chicken on heavy machinery. Anyways, I came across this warning sticker on Crown's website.

Avoid being crushed, good advice even when you're not talking about a forklift.

My brother has a New Holland skid steer and it has a sticker with a graphic along the lines of what's shown above (the bucket coming down on a bent-up operator), but the warning is 'AVOID DEATH'. I always thought a more fitting graphic would show a guy hiding around a corner from a hooded figure with a scythe.

Yeah, but the funniest thing is that the REASON for those warning labels is because some doofus went and did it. Why do you think that the Claymore anti-personnel mine has in BIG BOLD YELLOW letters "THIS SIDE TOWARDS ENEMY"?

Hey, its true, I've handled the Claymore before, on the outwardly-curved side, it has in BOLD YELLOW LETTERS "THIS SIDE TOWARDS ENEMY"
