Narrative

I was starting down a 7% hill, when the lift truck popped out of gear, as the lift started picking up speed down the hill, my first instinct was to try to put the machine back into gear to regain braking control. The machine was a hydrostatic drive system. I was unable to put the machine into gear and decided to un-do my seat belt and jump from the lift.
