weve got an old electric rider truck-and, yep, you can do all this quite easily as the weight of the motor is on the one side which tends to aid the centrifugal force. Dont recommend it though!! Grin

He is a pratt, par excellance! Huh

But is he though?

Assuming the video is authentic....... you have someone stood there with a mobile phone cam, so it is obviously staged at that point.

Second point, the "stunt" was pulled in a space that was three times plus the circumference the pallet truck made....only person who's getting hurt if it goes wrong is the main star of the video (the video that is obviously pre-arranged).

Not even someone else involved. Looks like he set the camera up himself. You can hear his footsteps just as he returns to the camera, and his hand crossing the lens. 
He's none to bright even if he has thought it out a little. He'll definately have a well grazed right elbow and lower arm. He's wearing short sleeves and his right arm is firmly on the deck as he slides out of the picture.

Eating a whole tin of Quality Street in one sitting would produce an almighty Noisette.  Roll Eyes
