| 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. |
|
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.
