And past observations of straddle carrier tip-overs, in particular, tend to have their causal attributes linked to (singularly or in combination) excessive speed, multi-directional operation (compromised visibility), uneven ground surfaces and poor\/deferred maintenance. Over time, our own cursory observation is that the use of operator restraint systems (i.e., seatbelts) can often greatly mitigate the outcome of of such tipovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Link to Media
