It's amazing how many people, including instructors, believe a perfectly balanced forklift is safe.
A perfectly balanced seesaw is only going to end up tipping over.
Were you given a full stability lesson during your training? Stability traiangle, the seesaw principles, the capacity plate, longitudinal stability, lateral stability etc
If not, you have not been properly trained. Understanding what you do, or what you must not do and why, is just as important as knowing what controls to use and how.
As RTITB and ITSSAR train the trainers, it is clear there is a massive issue with instructors not understanding stability and therefore miss it or reduce it from their training.
