He was preoccupied with a conversation he was having with someone who happened to come up next to him, inadvertently making him move over a bit. He saw that he was gonna dump into the ditch so he jumped, but he jumped right in the path the forklift was falling. It killed him instantly, pushing guts out through his mouth nose and eyes. Squish.
