As a forklift driver, I can’t believe they had actors do half of the stunts. The side tip over was especially butt clenching, could have made diamonds, let alone the front tip.

[@ThePiquedPigeon]

You can see that he was strongly bracing himself to the ROPS cage, as to avoid slamming his body in the ground when the forklift turned over, and minimize injury risk. Unfortunately, in a real life situation, a careless operator may not be doing the same, and may be smashed to the ground by the fall at full speed.

[@this_is_a_tiny_town]

I half expected a freeze-frame as the guy separates from the truck as it goes over the pier, with his name then coming up on screen... "Starring Brock Taylor as Frank Smith" Then the film resume to show the splashdown.
