Glad to see the guy loading the truck is wearing a reflective safety harness. that makes me think he knows what he is doing.

Looks like the top 5-6 sheets of drywall are on top of the strap.

Maybe the strap was just a little short or he remembered the drywall after he had mostly loaded the truck.
Often heard from idiots who do not know about loading a vehicle or trailer, "that ain't going anywhere."
In my life, after suggesting a rope or strap, many have told me that. Many of them told me to keep quiet about it after something ended up going somewhere.

The strap's visible above the top sheet, could be the the strap chewed thru the top 4 sheets...
What'll make that a safer trip, is to remove the trailer ball that looks like it's dragging the ground and put a nice Harbor Freight caster wheel in its place...

I hope that loader has steel toed shoes for when the tires pop.

It is doubtful that the car will even move. It appears that the forklift is still supporting some if not all of the weight. There are 17 double sheets of drywall on that roof. If they are the light weight drywall at 43 pounds per sheet that is 1,462 pounds of drywall. If they are regular drywall at 54 pounds per panel they weigh 1,836 pounds. Add an average sized driver and you have over 2 tons of load on the car. The struts and suspension has to be completely bottomed out and possibly the wheels are rubbing in the wheel wells.

And when his car is wrecked by the load he will likely try to sue the store.
