Do you think 18-19 is too young to be handling heavy machinary?


21 y/o Loren Schauers from Montana defied the odds by surviving a horrific forklift truck accident whre HALF of his body had to be AMPUTATED!!

He was then 19 driving an industrial truck across a bridge when he veered off and plummeted 50ft and found himself PINNED to the ground beneath the massive vehicle

He remained totally CONSCIOUS the entire time as he looked down to see his right arm had EXPLODED and everything below his hips was completely crushed

The young labourer made the decision for medics to perform a hemicorperectomy surgery where everything below the waist had to be amputated to save him as his girlfriend who is STILL with him, 21 y/o sabia Reiche said she had to say goodbye to him SIX times fearing he wasn't going to live another day

But he miraculously survived as the pair has been together for 18 months but said the turmoil brought them closer together and they got ENGAGED.

On the day of the accident, he was driving over a highway bridge outside Wilsal when cars illegally passed him but a single lane was dramatically narrowed as one car passed him. He veered too close to the bridge edge and the ground crumbled.

He tried to jump from the falling forklift but his leg got trapped by the seatbealt swinging him from the machinery as it plummeted and rolling over 3 times down the hill before Loren hit the ground and the forklift then came crashing down on him.

He said he know knows that was the wrong idea to try and jump out as if he stayed in he could have survived still with half his body but he ws in "fight or flight" mode

The dirt below was soft which saved his life as Loren completely lost his right forearm and hand in the accident and broken his right collarbone and shoulder and suffered a pulmonary embolism

Loren has taught himself how to become a accustomed to his new life with a "bucket" prosthetic and into get into a wheelchair as he tries to be as independent as possible

You have to be at least 18 to handle forklifts and even then only experienced people should be operating them

He said people in his position would wallow in self pity but him as he wanted to get back to WORK but unfortunately that wasn't possible as now he would like ot be a twitch influencer where his account is now at @iAceNation

Do you think 18-19 is too young to be handling big heavy machinery?

Because he'd get Warned if he showed it.

Damn. I saw a guy on Jerry Springer like that but he had both arms and walked around on them like something out of Wolfenstein.

He's incredible as fuck to still be so grateful and positive, as is his girlfriend for staying with him.

Huh, was just thinking about this the other day. Remember seeing the story back when it first happened, good to see that he's making the best of awful circumstances

I started driving a forklift when I was 19 there's not a whole lot to it other than getting used to rear wheel steering. Sounds like this wasn't even his fault other than panicking and trying to jump out.

Unfortunately for him she will eventually leave him most likely. They can't have sex or ever have their own children, plus she would basically be helping to care for him his whole life. Its a lot for someone her age to deal with so I doubt she will stay with him long term.

Time will certainly test their love for sure. ('-' )

I, personally wouldn't want to anchor someone down due to whatever condition I would be suffering...

*Knocks on wood*

It would not be fair to her at all, and it's selfish as fuck from my part to not let her go. But on paper, they both look happy, so.

Yeah that is a very real, even likely possibility. Hopefully they can work through it but yeah, that would cause extreme strain for sure, especially at that age.

Isn't there usually supposed to be other people holding traffic while workers are in the road? Especially on a single-lane bridge. Sounds like the company was violating

He could totally do a "burning Anakin on Mustafar" cosplay

But seriously, that fucking sucks and kudos to him for not just giving up on life and to his girlfriend for sticking around, hopefully it lasts.
