    The FPS of the video makes it look like they're locked. I think the driver whiskey throttled to get over the first hump on the lift. I think the green toolbox to his left saved his life!

    The truck didn’t slip off of the lift. It was not ever on the lift. Just a fool driving the truck.

    Looks like the only thing that slipped was the driver's attention span.

    I reckon the driver has hit the brake and accelerator at the same time.
    I have a 1972 Land Rover Series III Truck Cab/Pick-Up and a 1962 Land Rover Series 2a Carawagon Camper.

    I think that this is the right answer. If it were an FPS perception, then the back wheels would appear to be locked as well, they're not.

    Never stand in the direct line of flight whilst giving hand signals.
