I guess this really is an example of a track run off ! https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1862422723997949
That's a good one have you ever seen the video of them standing a pipe layer back up and it takes off down the hill
I have seen that. It disappears out of site way down the mountainside. I sure would like to see where it ended up. I believe that pipelayer runaway was somewhere in the old Soviet Union. While it was a dangerous situation, it makes me laugh every time I watch it.
When turning something over, always have an incident action plan...
Yep.... someone should have thought it out a little more.
Oops someone goofed those up I mean if you look at it from a safety standpoint there's a lot that's going wrong there but I can't help but laugh at what people think sometimes and what they come up with to get out of a sticky situation
Well, they all had their hardhats and their hi-vis vests on, so it must've been safe...
Very true they did have proper ppe on
If the hoe would've just kept a hold of the strap..
Yeah, not sure what the guy in the hoe was thinking when he dropped the boom and bucket like that....
And he's lifting above his drive motors..
So how do you explain that to your insurance company?? its a good thing they filmed it, otherwise the boss might have a hard time visualizing how the whole thing happened.
Several videos about strap/chain/cable coming off the tooth. Another common failure is pull a stuck or broken vehicle straight ahead when a casual observation will show that the rear wheels will go off the side, into ditch or down the mountain a few thousand ft.
haha had to share this one...
