Being struck by guards cells rollover protection is the leading cause of death in truck rollover accidents. This is largely due to operators, not safety belts when working truck, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

Despite the fact that allows truck to move in a limited space, but also reduces the effective support base of the triangle in such a way that makes it easy loader tip over. Thus, even a small bump on the driving surface or lower edge restraint may lead to a forklift overturning.
When the truck begins to roll, the instinctive reaction of the driver to jump. However, as we saw, forklifts, heavy, have a high center of gravity and lowered balance while turning.

Thus, it is almost impossible for the operator to move clear. They get caught guard, roll cage and suffered severe injuries, which are often fatal.
About the only thing that can overcome the instinct to jump in seat belts. Accident investigation reports to OSHA and other regulatory bodies such as NIOSH indicate that drivers who were fastening seat belts in case of capsizing in the first place survived the incident with minor injuries. The lesson is clear. In order to avoid fatal injuries, forklift drivers must use seat belts.
