It had provided warehousing, contract packaging, transportation and fulfillment by way of direct shipping to consumers (such as for Amazon, for example) for over 50 years. The employee was backing up a standup forklift. He was turning in reverse, when he lost control. He let go of the dead man pedal and was thrown off the forklift.
