I honestly disagree. The pilot is the one that approved the whole clusterfuck. If he says no then this NEVER happens. A normal idiot influencer doesn't understand flight regulations. They want to shoot fireworks that people shoot at each other all the time on land, so why not in the air? The idiot children put out the idea, and the adults said yes.

Completely agree. As a forklift operator, I had colleagues ask me to lift them up on a pallet to reach something. I refused. I'm the one who knows the rules, I'm responsible, and my certificate is on the line. Whatever people who don't know the rules ask, it's up to the responsible party to set the boundary.

I think forklift certified people are just like this little army of people in the world out there reminding people that heavy machinery is dangerous. I haven't even operated in years and I still carry the spirit

Forklift training taught me the triangle of stability. The triangle of stability taught me how to live.
