Hilariously gory German forklift driver training video. It all starts getting a bit Final Destination from about 2:00, but well worth watching to the end, a real splatter-fest!

That's literally older than the internet (or at least the WWW).

Ahyup. One thing that made the video so hilarious is that the narrator is best known for doing traffic safety PSAs on German TV for, oh, thirty years or so.

I can see it, people interested in fictional dystopias might be interested to know there's a real one.  :hmm:
