Sei Vorsichtig!
OK. Be warned. The following video is disturbing for a variety of reasons:
1. It just is. Red Asphalt has nothing on this German safety video.
2. This tells me entirely too much about the character of my people. It sort of changes certain questions, for instance, "how did it happen" to "it's amazing that it hasn't happened more often." We really are sick puppies, we Krauts.
3. Even if you don't speak German, you will get what is to be gotten out of it.
4. You might not want to eat for a couple of days, but should you become a forklift driver, you will be a safer one. If not, well, you will be shot.
5. I have said repeatedly that this is disturbing, you are clicking at your own risk. Don't come whining to me afterwards that I ruined your lunch.
