I can relate to the lumber coming off of the forks, for sure.  More than once for me.  More than anything, it has been the load was a little to one side or I came to a slight dip in the log yard or the road.   Short material is not so much of sa problem, to reload and sticker, but the loads that are 12' or more of Oak is challenging to say the least.
