If a Fork Lift is used in a wrestling stunt, does the wrestler have to be forklift certified? Of the three people I recall using forklifts are Brock Lesnar, Austin, and Mick Foley.
I can see Brock and Austin being properly trained on how to use a Fork Lift, because of thier outside interests, but I can't picture Foley for some reason.
Fork Lifts are dangerous!!

Austin was a fork lift driver back in the day. If anyone was it's him. |

I'm just wondering if the guys who used one for the "stretcher" job on Yokozuna in 1996 were certified.

Now you've said that, I want to see a wrestler go to use one, and end up being disqualified for not having a licence, or dragged out of it by a health and safety inspector or something.

HHH drove one that one time in the background! The only time I remember Mick doing anything with it was Half Time heat, and the lowering of the pallet was almost certainly pre-recorded because it cut to a camera on the pallet. You never actually see Mick hit any buttons I believe. |

Terry Funk at Wrestlemania XIV. I could tell he wasn't certified because he struggled quite a bit with the controls.

Like, if someone messed up one of those spots, that would be an insurance/legal nightmare.

As someone who drives one every day at work, let me admit that on more than one occasion, I have imagined wrestling spots involving my forklift.
Probably wouldn't be too safe irl.

 If anyone was actually licensed, it would have been this guy. |

I would imagine that they’d just have their forklift guy from the rigging team just show the wrestler the basic controls and have them practice for a bit. It’s really not that complicated and most anyone could be competent enough for a quick spot in 30-60 minutes.
