I've done what he described, but the pallet jack I was using had a brake

If you have a large enough number of people on a load, you can survive
quite a lot. I once had a VAX 6000 fall on me from a little more than two
feet off the ground. Because there were enough people to move it before
it crushed me (and they were all paying attention), I got off with just
sore joints and muscles.

I had quite a time running backward behind a Prime 5340
on a pallet jack, trying to keep myself from being run over, and
trying to slow the computer down. All went fine, getting the smaller

You're lucky you weren't killed! Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER, walk in
front of a heavy load like that downhill. I don't care how strong
and/or confident you are.
