The last pic is pretty damn creepy

[Coyote]

Man, why do I want to keep looking at the last one...

[Switch]

I bet he wont do that again.
That last pic is going to give me nightmares. The look on that dudes face

What's left of it.

I can't help but feel morbidly intrigued.

I guess its human instinct to be interested in something we dont see very often. And in a way that doesnt seem very possibly in everyday life. (bits in half)

If I was him I would have paid a bit more attention in those Health and Safety courses...I guess that is one way to raise the average I.Q in the world...

The ambulance in the first pic seems a bit optimistic!

Poor bastard.

Don't know why you have to find this sort of stuff fascinating. Try it for real . You wont want to be showing it to people, you rather feel like protecting them from it. The countries most of this stuff comes from don't really have much in the way of H & S. Or any welfare system.

And the driver STILL has more brains than a lot of my 'clients'

I'll bet it all happened so damned fast it could have been anyone. Been near something similar years ago... ain't a lot you could predict, or do about it once it starts. 20 tons of steel on the move isn't something you "just stop"

Poor bastard.

Maybe it is a point of learning from others mistakes. In the industry I work in I am constantly involved with heavy machinery of one form or another, and there is always a risk involved. The best way to work in those situations is to try to reduce the risk as much as possible.

Sliding down a greasy wet hill sideways in a tractor is the closest I have been to rolling a vehicle, and I do agree once it starts you are basically just a passenger.
What gets me is the value some of these places put on human life. Look at the bearers they used to try to get the bulldozer on/off the truck...Snapped like matchsticks I bet. A decent steel ramp or a loading dock would have saved that poor guys life

Yeah, everyone says that when backed into a corner.

(Especially the noobs that like to relate in graphic detail the story of their virgin 'off' because they think it gains them membership to some 'Bikers Club' and then fall back on the "as long as someone learns from my mistake" bullshit when someone breaks the news to them that they've just been riding like a fuckwit.)

Next time I'm moving a bulldozer I doubt I'll be thinking of some poor Chinaman who should have thrown a sickie that day.
