    Here's a link to that thread:http://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/...ead.php?t=2420

    The series of pictures that were originally posted in that thread were removed, for the reasons discussed there. This accident seems to keep coming up, from different members. If it will serve to notify everybody of which particular series of accident pictures has already been discussed, and found not suitable for posting here, I'll let this one picture remain. As expressed in the other thread, this won't be the site for display of graphic images of injury or death. This is the only one of the series that you'll see posted on this site.

    It looks to me like a Cat Skidder. They extended the track frames back to counter act the grapple.

    I have to agree with you Lashlander. I viewed another angle of that accident and the hi-drive gear is almost dead center of the machine like the one below.

    This one came up again in the past couple of days, (albeit, this time in the crane forum) so I've made this thread a sticky. Hopefully it'll be seen by all, and we won't have to edit out those pictures yet again.

    The guy had probably done this before often and never had a problem. Too bad. Just that one time is usually so tragic and final when it does happen.

    Thinking.

    Hello.

    One thing people must understand.
    We work with this equipment, it could happen to me!
    Most of us have a family, I am the exception.
    For this reason this upsets me, my coworkers ARE my family!
    Ask yourself this, would you walk up to me and hand me a bunch of pictures like this?
    It took me A FEW DAYS to come up with a tame response to this.
